Kokos why are you not posting on mapcore anymore you're missed ://

For the last time SWATY - NINEAXIS: Keep this crap out of mapcore. Seriously. If you wanna fight go to a gay bar or do it via email.

I have 2gb of level design references and all in JPEG format. Just no way of easily sharing it

Dropbox =)

SWATY: Nice map. Could look better with some custom textures and a better backdrop though! Another problem is that the atmosphere/color palette doesn't fit the theme imo.

This is the color palette that comes to mind when I think of disney:

or maybe even Spirited Away, which valve used as inspiration for TF2 textures:

Who's this annoying girl they have talking about Kinect? So fake!

I'd do her anytime

Kinetic looks amazing, it's much better than I expected =)

Looks ugly as hell but will probably be as fun as Fallout 3 =)

Hey guys! I've been doing a quick normal map test, but I'm coming across a few issues with shading across smoothing groups. What's the best way to go about smoothing this piece? It has weird smoothing that seems to make it look like there are more triangles on the model than there really are!

I have a high poly model baked onto a low poly. Does the smoothing of the low poly before baking effect the normal map? I tried a few different smoothing groupings on it and tried baking new normal maps, but it looked the same each time.

Cheers fellas.

Are you using only one smoothing group for your low poly mesh? I see lots of people doing that and I never really understood why since the crappy 1-smoothing group low poly shading gets baked to the normal map as well.

Max's normal map baker is kinda bad too, have you tried using xnormal for this?

Check this out btw, i learned so much from this video:

Nice!

Would be cool to actually make some 3d levels with obstacles and shit, instead of just an empty 2d background!

Really nice chair. I think it's one of the best investments one can make. I got a good one last year but I'm getting a little tired of it, might sell it and buy a new one soon =)

fuck microblogging

Somehow Sentura, I believe that if you ever make your own twitter it won't be a big success... You'll get a few followers that absolutely adore your posts and think they are the best shit ever, but most people won't understand them.

oh man, the latest media looks so horrible... this game is at a mediocre mod quality at best. I'm sure the mod community can put something together that looks better than that.

yes... YES!!

Thanks everyone =)

PogoP: I think I'll start a WIP thread for this scene instead of spamming this thread. I'll include a viewport grab from max with some of the modular assets in the next update then!

Bought a vuvuzela to annoy the crap out of people during the world cup!

Quote from Rick_D

max has a reference system that pulls in other max files, and you can update it whenever you want, I believe maya has this as well - multiple people can work on a single level, all referencing each other's files.

Really? I always wondered if you could do that on Max How do you do it? XRefs?
