3DS MAX 2013 help needed. Unwrap UVW modifier isn't working properly.
I'm fairly new to 3DS MAX 2013, I've been working with it on and off since September. I have been working on stockpiling some samples of my furniture models (not designed by me, just replicated). Unfortunately I have hit a bit of a snag with the Unwrap UVW modifier. Here is a picture of the loveseat I've been working on.… -
Re: Are triangle counts a thing of the past?
I'm delving a bit deeper and found that some of the characters in Uncharted for the PS3 where hitting 35k. That's on a 10 year old console; right? Shouldn't we be able to push that way beyond that now? Source: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=43975 Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, PS3, 2007 Main characters -… -
Re: [Portfolio] Normalz
One thing i gotta say about the game models is first your polycount can be further reduced. polygons are wasted on items like the hand grenades round pin, which is a coiled cylinder, which could be made where the coils intertwine, you could use polygons to unify them , and let the normals do the job of appearance. there… -
Re: New Mini Tut - Selection
I had an interesting one like this too when I had to select every other polygon on the side of a cylinder. Point was to create a sprocket with teeth, for the Dozer DVD. I spent a while figuring things out with StepRing/StepLoop from the Graphite tools. I was really confused at first since it doesn't allow StepRing with… -
Scifi Missile Launcher Tank [image heavy]
So i've been working on this project for some time although with considerable interruption due to other stuff poping up. Anyway I think it's time to show what I have so far and start a thread about it. So my goal is a new portfolio piece and a another opportunity to learn about hard surface modeling. I got inspired by the… -
Re: Basic topology exercises Giz
Well, 10mins for a full subdiv cleanup + rebuild is perhaps a bit of a stretch indeed ... but still, a part like this could be turned into a clean lowpoly base rather quickly at least, and it could then be given the most appropriate treatment to turn it into a suitable high : either oldschool subdiv, or bevel and creases,… -
Re: Realistic Winter Sabe In-Progress
No, flash does not a better website make. Check out these good looking sites: http://www.polygoo.com/ http://www.brameulaers.com/ http://www.matroskinworks.com/ Super simple and straight to the point. It's all you need. Anyway, presentation is not really important right now. Your work is. (though, one hint: use printscreen… -
Re: Smoothing problem in Zbrush
A little more explanation on what Zbrush is doing: Zbrush doesn't render 3d models the same way a program like Maya does. This is because zbrush isn't a full 3d environment that has cameras or lights physically positioned around the model to work with. It's just a model floating above a static 2d painting canvas. When you… -
Re: My Very First Sculpted Head
Since its never to early to do things right : Make the habit of never working without a clear goal in mind. Sure, you will find tons of 'omg improvised without reference' videos on the web. But all these guys (the good ones, that is!) work from a visual library engraved in their minds eye, aquired after years of practice.… -
Android and iphone Polycount (subway surfers for excample)
Well few of us are making games for android and iphone, because of their simplycity. And I am asking how much polygons should be on the scree so game runs fast? complexity of code is for more or less simply endless run. I watched various games for android and I can tell that probably one gun in android game called Into the…
