Re: 3DS Max Particles to Object Shape
Got a chance to crack open particle flow and it looks like you only need 4 things in the particle flow to populate the surface of an object with instanced geometry and while you can do it with a material you don't need to be that complex. 1) Birth 2) Position Object (Targeting the surface) 3) Shape Instance (Targeting the… -
Re: Photoshop action that stacks layers
It works with any image format which supports transperancy(gif,tif,png) and converts it into a smart object before applying the transformations. The procedure is as fallows: always open first the document you wish to move and match with the second one.The second document should contain a target layer which should be named… -
Re: Dragon character model WIP [need feedback!]
Alright, I found out how to connect the face morph target to the body using just a edit poly modifier in the modifier stack! But I have a huge question regarding texturing and rigging. First off, the head is decapitated on a base level to make morph targets, BUT how does that go together with the UVW mapping the head and… -
Re: New linkedin.User Agreement
Information is a commodity. It's invaluable to advertisers and marketing to determine how to better target their ads to you and everyone else out there. Sites like LinkedIn aggregate untold amounts of information, but it's not really organized for easy reference if your goal is to blast targeted ads at people. If LinkedIn… -
Re: Texel density and units in depth
"Games often use power of 2 pixel ratio. 2px per cm. 4 px etc... modern games can be up to 6px per cm. If you want to guess what texture size you should use. Unwrap your model and select the biggest shell and use uv deluxe or equivalent to scale the shell. Pay attention that the size of the shell depends on the size of the… -
Re: Creating my first environment in UE4. Some questions!
'Stylized' covers a broad range of visual styles. Some stylized games will use a full range of maps, including normals while others will use a color map only. Or maybe no texture at all and vertex colors instead. I suggest you find one or two (max) games that have a visual style you'd like to emulate. Then you can give… -
Re: Paul Neale Rigging DVD
i have all of these dvds.. my company bought them for me, and if yours is worth a shit (cough, cough, cough) then they will do the same, i recommend them, i learned alot about custom rigs, and setting up controls. the facial one is pretty cool and basically translates the book "stop staring" for maya into max freindly… -
Re: Project mapping issues in 3dmax
the red is flag color, it lets you know the projected rays from the control cage missed the target mesh. I'm not sure if you left that option on to show the mistakes or because it defaults to on? Render to Texture> Objects to Bake > Projection Mapping > Options > uncheck "Ray miss check" Normally you get those kinds of… -
Re: ZBrush 3.5 Announced
ZSpheres II looks really interesting. Much more like traditional sculpting where your ZSpheres are your armature, and you lay volume on top of that - with the added bonus of being able to adjust your armature from inside easily :) conte: I've used ZMapper before, it is very powerful and has a lot of options, so you really… -
Re: Maya Blendshape questions from a noob
Watch for deformation order - this is true in Max as well. Understand the concept of blend shapes: each target/shape whatever stores information for every vertex of your model, which is a point in 3D space where it should travel to as you increase the shape's weight to 1. Skinning also moves the vertices, driven by the…
