Re: Normal maps hate me - please help
First off, it's not true that you'd have to redo the cage. You can export the actual cage that you've built with the Projection modifier. In the Projection modifier, under the Cage dropdown, there's an Export button that lets you export the cage. You can then take that cage into xNormal and just use it. Second, since your… -
Re: Confused about mixing quads and tris in retopology
As an environment artist, I use plenty of triangles in my work. If your mesh is to be used by another professional down the production pipeline, you have to validate your retopology with them. So, a rigger might impose quand base retopology to character artists. Otherwise the in engine result is your guide. It's generally… -
Re: Displacement map "Surface Dithering" problem
Oh maybe because you're using the old Displace modifier? Which renderer are you targeting in Max? If you're using V-Ray, it's better to use the VRayDisplacementMod modifier. -

Re: [3DS MAX] PolyUnwrapper 4.0 Released
Unfortunately there are some limitations when working with the UVW Unwrap Modifier, and these are one of them. Although they could be implemented, that would need to be in the UVW Unwrap Modifier source code, but it is not legal to modify and distribute it. -
Re: Tiling and AO
Mini Tutorial: * Apply a Unwrap UVW modifier. (Make sure the channel is set to 1), save your layout as UV1 * Apply a second Unwrap UVW modifier on top (technically you could do it all in one modifier but I've hit too much bugginess switching channels.) * Change the channel to 2, click Edit * In the Editor window go to Face… -
Re: Request: Critique my UVW work
Based on your print screen, you may be overlooking a couple things: Unwrap UVW is the main modifier for editing Uvs, but before you get to that, UVW Map is another modifier that gives you more options to get started with (planar, cylindrical, box, face, etc). Not sure if you're skipping that or not, but if so, it can be… -
Re: MAX going confetti on me
some questions if you dont mind: do you have at least max9 or higher? - perhaps you have max8 and you tried functions that are not available for example from texTools ?. if you worked with TexTools on a modifier level try to delete that modifier and see if the garbage stilll remains. The way I wrote most of the texTool… -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2025

Re: Abandoned Space-Station [UE4]
I've iterated on the lighting using the feedback everyone provided. Here's what I've done: * Most of my lights were set to dynamic (some were set to static, need to pay more attention to that). * Materials that were wayyyyy to shiny were modfied. There's a few more materials that will need to be dialed down. * The exp…
