Re: Wonky Normal Generation
At all your 90° angles you shouldhave either a hard edge and UV seam or just a chamfer, if this is already true and you are still getting those results you can try to run the 'getnormalsfromface' script with all the large faces selected which will push all the smoothing errors to adjacent polygons. Here is the maxscript… -
Re: zbrush into max
You can't export it as vertexcolour (which is basically what it is) - the only way to get polypainting out at the moment is baking the colour to a texture - if your lowest subdivision is already UV-mapped then this should be easy, just use Col->Txr button in the Texture palette. If not UV'd then you'd need to either import… -
Re: long faces in low poly causing baking issues
The reason for this is explained here in the normal mapping category. http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/shane/hotfix_4_3ds_max_2011_3ds_max_design_2011 Optionally you can average the normals of all the vertices which are planar, this would reduce the distortion and make it possible for the normal map to be used on a LOD model… -
Re: Maxscript making a self installing mzp
Did you examine the code of the installers, that I mentioned above? For exampel RTTAssist installer: the mzp.run code name "RTTAssist"version 1.6treeMove "tempRTTAssistFolder" to "$temp"run "RTTAssistInstall.ms"drop "RTTAssistInstall.ms"clear temp The RTTAssistInstall file that do the installation - copy files, create… -
Re: What are you working on? 2D! 2016
Time for some gummy pigs! The design is over, but now I have to find someone to mass produce them for real :D Also posted in my sketchbook thread here in polycount: http://polycount.com/discussion/92606/sketchbook-martin-vertexbee-punchev#latest -
Re: Approach to mass-modeling texturing
here you got a quick example, of what you could achieve with procedurals: http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_education/vertex_map_wear/vertex_map_wear.htm http://saschahenrichs.blogspot.com/2009/02/procedural-concrete-material-xx.html http://saschahenrichs.blogspot.com/2009/01/procedural-materials-in-3dsmax.html -
Re: Please Help with Photoshop: Editing Bakes
Just out of interest, do you find that using Liquify, or similar methods, is faster than editing the cage? Especially since if you're doing something like baking out vertexcolour/material colour as a guide for texturing, plus AO, plus normals, that's 3 maps you now have to edit and keep consistent if you do it the… -
Re: Character : Face Hugger
@ Davision3D - toned down the baked in shadows and still playing with the spec, thanks for the comments. @ vertexguy - Thanks for the color suggestions, they were really helpful. I still need to address the normal map a bit, that will probably be the last thing I do. @ Conte and Gauss - I get that response a lot,… -
Re: adjusting object transforms
I wrote a quick script for Maya that simplifies the Snap Align 3 Points to 3 Points tool. Just select 3 verts that are across the same plane and run the script. Should snap your object to the origin with an accurate rotation (you may have to center the object still). { $sourceVerts = `ls -fl -sl`; polyPlane -ch on -o on -w… -
Re: school assignment - Spaceship?
Hi thanks for the crit Vertexguy , yeah i have been trying to get more contrast by higlighting the color shifting in the color map, im new to specular and haven't truly understood it yet but i'll give it a try when i have time thanks.
