We're only seeing a cropped view of the full texture, and there is padding. That's the orange outline. It could perhaps use more, though. I don't know what you're getting at with curves, and Max can display normal maps just fine if you load the texture with the right gamma, though it will not be the correct tangent basis…
awesome, that is essentially one of the suggestions i made. @GeeDave if people want to compare tools and how long everybody tool is compared to the other guys tool then start a new thread on modeling tools and post some detailed pictures and info on your tool! lol seriously tho, that would be more informative to the…
Yeah its super handy to have. Also, remember the "autogrid" check box above your creation tools/Object type, and you pretty much have the modo set up. Now if I could just get a screen space move like modo and maya, (meaning you dont have to click on those super small xyz handles to move your object) that would be a total…
I have a partial rig im working with ATM, and copying the XYZ values from the bones of the animation to the controls of the rig doesn't seem to work too well. The controls aren't on a 1:1 basis with the bones and the idle pose ends up looking pretty funky. My last option is to just do my best imitating the idle pose…
great stuff ani and konstruct! MohawkdZombie- werd, I aim for mind blowage MoP- thanks man Ruz- likewise dude brandoom- thanks, yeah I'm planning on selling most of them... trying to get a show together at a local bar or coffee shop or something. Shoot me a pm if you're interested in one and we'll figure something out.…
In the game shops around my area, the old gems are really rare. They actively discourage older games by not taking them in if they're older then a year. Customer: I'll take a copy of XYZ game there (points that the new game behind the counter) Clerk: Oh hey it says here we have a used copy for $5 less do yo want that…
Short answer: Yes, it will hurt you to stick with a nitch program and not learn any of the mainstream 3D apps. Long answer:I think the question is, why not learn them all and really expand your chances of finding a job? Beyond functionality you have to think about pipeline. - Is XYZ company going to toss your resume when…
I always thought W was a positional unit, rather than a directional one. In my mind's eye I imagine UVW to be like XYZ, three axes to place UVW coords into. I can really see it when messing with a 3d texture like a procedural, where moving through W is basically moving on a vector perpendicular to UV. So as I understand…
It might be that you need to make some kind of suggestion, the femur bone is a boney landmark that protrudes just beneath the illiac crest, there is mostly just connective tissue that runs over it, it's one of the harder things to do with the male figure (in my opinion), to get it to look right that is. Also you're right,…
