Re: I need some clarifications on normal maps and tangent spaces
You should always ask your client whether their pipeline allows custom normals or not. They may want you to avoid custom normals even if their pipeline allows it, because it's easy to destroy custom normals in Max if you're not careful, making it more difficult for them to make changes to your deliverables if they need to.… -
Re: REQUEST: Great big Blender thread
In Xnormal, have you got the normal map swizzle set to X+Y+Z+ and the 'compute binormal in the pixel shader' box checked for the MikkTSpace tangent space calculator plugin? (You also need to check this box for UE4 and Marmoset MikkTSpace.) You can use normal maps that have a X+Y-Z+ swizzle if you pop in an RGB curves node… -
Re: Say, "Wacom"...
Wack-om. Waycom always sounds funny to me (and is apparently incorrect huzzah!). Disappointing that it's the most popular. I used to say "Zed Brush" as did a bunch of my friends but we eventually came around to saying zeeeeebrush after one of our instructors pointed it out and bugged us about it. Zbrush is one word, it's… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] Object Angle Based Fade
That's more of a fresnel opacity kind of thing, right? You can combine both for making more complex stuff :) Regardless I thing the dot product is the way to go: 0,0,-1 in camera space means pointing towards the camera and the ObjectOrientation points to the object's z+ axis. If you get the dot product of both, you'll get… -
Re: 3dsmax . stacking order
The problem with the AxisFromMouseMove script, is that it'll lock me to one axis alone. You'll have to toggle it on and off all the time (if you wanna move ex. XY at the same time). Modo just disable/lock the angle youre viewing from (with the viewplane), which ofcause makes total sense. Max doesnt even take this into… -
Maxscript Mesh Duplication?
It might just be that I'm not totally thinking straight it's 4am, however I'm working on some scripts for a project and was wondering if anyone knows how I could lets say duplicate a mesh in my max file to a new location in the same scene. I have a mesh in my file called "box01" and an array of x,y,z coords. I'd like to be… -

Re: Beginner Sculping, tips and suggestions ples
@Wex Forgive my ignorance, but when u say "poles" do you mean faces? I've just never head that term before, my bad. In terms of the head sculpt, is it sort of a rule that I should have basic lip (and ear) shapes on the low poly mesh, or should one or either of those be sculpting in z-brush? I guess my question with head… -

Re: Walk Cycles feedback
One thing that is a easy fix that I think would give more contract with the ground is to look over the foots one more time. Just before they hit the ground they are almost flat in some of the walks. Put the heel down first then the rest of the foot. A litle trick is to tilt the whole foot, just a litle before it lands on…
