Yes.
Not sure why you would want to use it so badly, unless you've got something against occlusion and multi-step processes...

Can you tell me how to do it then? Parallax mapping is PERFECT for texturing.

Hi guys! Once again I have a problem. If I wanted more than 1 MC in my scene, say 4, how would I do that?I could just import thw models for each one, rigg, ect..but that takes more time for me, because im slow at rigggin. I have tried exporting my rigged mc as .3ds and .fbx when i import them I get a blank Mc( No textures) and the biped is not with the Mc the size of the biped is different. I have done it before and t cam in perfect but I have forgotten. the FBX, is also weird, its also a black mc, but the biped is shapped weirdly.

File -> Merge
Or just... duplicate it. Come on...

I turned my MC into a character, so I can import as many as I want. Same with other bipeds and weapon models.

Jordan how would i do that?

And Veegie, I tried duplicating it, but when I go to the skin modifier the MC i duplicated disappears. I tried to merge but nothin happens

Duplicating works for me.

SneakyIndian · Post by **SneakyIndian** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:06 pm

Maybe, Im confusing Duplicate and Clone? I been cloning because I haven't found the duplicate tool.

Edit: After I just posted this, I googled how to duplicate in 3ds Max and I saw a tid bit that said hold shift, and bam! it worked, Sorry for being a nub! Google works wonders!

Edit2: How can I make Spartan a different color? When I choose a color from the composite..it changes the color of all mcs.

Just duplicate the material and use that.

Anyone know why 3ds Max inports the models so small? Before I reinstalled XP. 3ds Max imported at the right size, is there anyway to fix this? I asking because Im trying import a pistol into the scene and its not the correct the right size..

Veegie · Post by **Veegie** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 10:06 am

Just scale it up...

Does anyone know how to fix Some UV Maps, because when i extract models of large object (ie. In Amber Clad and Cairo) i get hugely messed up UV Maps

BTW, i Use Cinema 4D, but i do have 3DS Max installed on my computer

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 12:04 pm

What are you exporting with?

Cheeze Man · Post by **Cheeze Man** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 12:28 pm

ADI, i would hate to use entity since it doesn't export the LOD with the name of the mesh
EDIT: I Just Tried using entity to extract the model, but it still messes up the UV Maps

I would but I scaled it up 5000% just like my MC. I cant get the right size for the pistol.

I also need to know how Enhance my bump maps, (I Use Normal Maps extracted from Entity)

as they look really sucky and low-res

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:41 am

Wow, I actually like that super-intense reflection on your wraith!

As for "enhancing" your bump maps...
The best way to do it would be to make your own, at a much higher resolution using the original extracted normal as a reference. Some are better at it than others.... Jean. <_<

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:45 am

The reflections on everything are way too high.
