Re: [Maya - Xnormal] Normal map baking
Hey Tom, Most of the artifacts are because of the hard edges or smoothing groups and there are a few random seams in the uv which will cause problems as well I redid the uv, cut where the brim meets the crown and then applied a hard edge to the uv seams if you want a script I have one low poly looks like this final result… -
Re: [Tutorial] - Ultimate Hardsurface Tutorial - Turretgun
@tonyblu331 You will still be able to apply the basic principles, but a lot of the scripts that I am using are max specific. In addition, instead of using Meshfusion in Modo you would have to use Zbrush for all the boolean operations. This will work but you will have less control over the look of your bevels. The lowpoly,… -
Re: First Environment Texture
Is it really that different? As much as I would love to just work with Photoshop (Newer versions anyways) it seems like besides a few of the choices and workflows for a particular effect GIMP has enough scripting and plugins to achieve the same thing. Even some of the stuff from the tutorial I'm working through took maybe… -
Re: UDK flythrough render help!
http://maiev.net/wordpress/?p=374 He has an image there that demonstrates how to add commands to the end of a launch target. You should be able to play your map outside of the editor as long as it's in the UDK content folder and the proper packages are present. You don't have to use UDK frontend unless you have some sort… -
Re: Random name engine! Woot!
The Markoff model (might be spelled differently) is a system where for every combination of letters probabilities for the next letter are calculated. The result is mostly nonsense words but all of them sound somewhat like the language that was used to build your database. The Markoff model can also be used with words, some… -
Re: Community Colleges: training ground for game dev?
hehe, I wonder what school you are talking about. I went to Richland and Northlake community colleges in Dallas. AA degrees are a joke. This is just a school trying to cash in on a flood of students who think, mistakenly, that they want to go into games. I'm not an expert but just reading what Miles posted, maybe they… -
Re: i hat yo normal maping
Seriously, I'd use Doom 3/Quake 4 for rendering the normalmaps, ORB creates much more obvious seams and it's limited to screen resolution. I'm not too sure how I made those LWOs though the header says "Lightwave Export Script for Blender 2.36 by Anthony D'Agostino http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/scorpius". What… -
Re: Roads on large-scale terrain?
I never dealt with terrain that large, so I can only guess. Although I do play a lot of World War 2 Online, which is 1/4 the size of western europe. It looks like they extrude roads along a path, but they are not attached to the main ground mesh. Their terrain also does not deform. Operation Flashpoint used this floating… -
Re: Maya Rendering - Invisible occluding object
Well, that would be exactly what I'm looking for... ...buuuuuuuut it doesn't work with the vector renderer. Just turns it black and renders normally. :( Google turns up only one previous discussion of this in which they seem to have just gave up. Thanks so far, though, at least I had something to search for. Would it… -
Re: Does Maya have an equivalent to Softimage Prop Model Tool?
I think P is looking for soft select? http://softimage.wiki.softimage.com/xsidocs/sculpting_UsingProportionalModeling.htm If you're running 2008 extended (I think it was rolled into 2009), you can toggle it on/off by pressing B. You can hold down B and drag left or right to increase or decrease the falloff. There might be…
