If I just have a tileable texture applied to an object. But the object is elongated, so having a 1:1 lightmap would become stretched and be a waste of space. That being said I'm having some problems figuring this out. If I have a texture that's 512x128. Then I need to unwrap the object so that the UV's take up 1:1. If I…
As part of a college project, I have been asked to create a series of 3D models that must be with a 500 tri limit. These items include ! melee weapon,1 ranged weapon,an item of clothing and an object from home. To begin with I've started to produce a series of concepts for my melee and ranged weapons.
Well i'm not doing exactly that, read too quickly ^^ I detach all shells that are in the 0-1 square. But it looks like you made the right thing. The only trick i use is from Jorge "Polytools" Rodriguez. I convert uvs to a trimesh, because mesh are faster to deal with than uvs, not to mention unwrap modifier. Also you could…

I'm working on a model of my Olympus OM-1 as a little practice piece. The current polycount is 8,357. I plan on making a Zuiko 35-105mm lens for it since that is the lens I use on it irl.
Ok I'm working on a model, I've never really encountered this before as it usually works but for some reason no matter what I try the the size of certain objects I've created are incredibly small compared to others. I've tried "rescale clusters", packing my UV's in a bunch of different ways and even downloaded textools and…
Hi, well, just as the title/headline says. Does modeling as a game artist who follow the reference 1-1 and try to recreate it in 3D and make it as close to the reference as possible considered an Art or just a Craft? I remember one time I was watching BlenderBros videos where Ryu have said that Modeling is craft and it's…
DO YOU WANT TO LEARN FASTER? ...GO FURTHER? 1 on 1 mentoring. I only take on a handful of mentees? There are more tutorials than you can ever consume. Tutorials are great but they are missing something very important...interaction and long-term accountability. Why ancient masters always had a mentor? Imagine where you…
So I am working on hacking my way through my first MaxScript and I have run into a road block that I thought some of you guys may be able to help me with. I am trying to create a script that will take my UVs and scale then reposition them into a defined section of the UV layout. For example, as I am making my modular…
When creating animated sprite sheets with 3ds max do you guys animate a higher framerate in max then have a script render out every Nth frame? Or would there be a 1:1 ratio in frames? Seems to me that, working on a higher framed animation then rendering every nth frame is like working on a high rez image that's gonna lose…
