Re: Issue modeling a racing track in 3DS Max for Unity
Yep, try adding an edge loop (or maybe a few of them, no need to be perfectly accurate while there's the undo button available) and test. If it helps, try it out in different positions (left/right) and different numbers of them. Once you've got it working really nicely, see if you can get away with removing every second… -
Re: xNormal reimagination
EdGaray : this looks cool, and it somehow has similarities with the current version. Well done :) I have to confess I am quite attached to the original Xnormal design too, if just for the fact that it makes the very clear statement that highly technical apps don't have to spend too much time on looking trendy. I feel like… -
Re: 3 Wip Environments Need and Want feed back please
From what I gather, your modeling is alright. What needs work is texturing, and lightning. What you should do is find a rendering software which suits your 3D program. I'm guessing you either use 3dsmax or Maya. For both of these programs you can find rendering plug-ins. For example Vray or Mentalray to name two of the… -
Re: 3DS Max Questions
1) Nope. 2) Not inside of 3dsmax, I wish it was. The closes you can get is to select overlapping faces. The newest version of max seems to have a much better multi-tile workflow, it might be worth checking out. https://youtu.be/YHYXgZuTVhE?t=24s 3) Check out the "align tools" it seems like they gave them an upgrade in… -
Re: Milky normal maps - xnormal
Wow lots of replies, where to start :\ I've never been able to get normalmaps to work in 3dsmax unless its with viewport shader, thats why I'm using marmoset. I will say, aside from the other issues the normal map hardly shows up without an AO in the diffuse slot. To answers the questions; Duplicated Geometry - I'm… -
Re: Zbrush 4r7 Discussion
I test drive mudbox every couple of years to see how it is going and every time I do I come away with an appreciation for how quick zbrush is, even on average machines. A simple thing like going up and down in sub levels can be a real chore in other software. I give part time instruction and atm my 4th year students are… -
Re: dire need of help with character studio.
If there are any new 3dsmax users here, please just stick to learning skin and ignore physique unless you absolutely, absolutely have to because of an old engine. Skin is properly supported and actively debugged, physique really isn't and it uses really clunky code. Besides, skin actually has mirror mode, is… -
Re: rigging for portfolio posing
KingKirby, Most of what's in TSM (rigging automation) isn't really needed in max since max comes with two great pre-built rigs Biped and CAT. CAT offers pretty much the same flexibility to create non-standard rigs (add limbs, heads, tails, wings ect). If you're talking about the "advanced skinning" features, they really… -
Re: Which one is the best....
This is probably a troll thread trying to start the lame old camp war that just about every 3D art board is sick and tired of? But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and play along. I agree with your advice up to this point. Some programs clearly are easier to work with than others when doing specific tasks. While it… -
Re: Shader/ParticleFX pipelines...?
Mental Mill artist edition is pretty limited I don't think it will allow you to export the shaders you make, which means you can create them, view them but not use them... Which means its more of a trial version and you need to buy the standard version if you're going to use it for anything. I haven't tried out Mental Mill…
