Hey all!<\/p>\n
There are no excuses for this exceptionally tardy post. I fixed my computer problem back on Monday (turns out I’ve got two bad sticks of RAM). Then I contracted a nasty virus the same day, so I’ve had two delirious days where I could’ve posted the video. I’ll try to make it up to you on the next one. I’m thinking of a double feature on uploading to YouTube since I’ve been getting a lot<\/em> of questions about that over the last few months. Think that might be useful? Let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n This last week is a good one! We’re looking at an old school technique where you can render an object in 3dsMax, extract the diffuse map and alpha map, and then re-use them as elements in another render. It seems rather simple, but it’s actually a very powerful 3d technique! We Bryce 3d users used to use it back in the old days to pack detail into a scene that our computers might not otherwise be able to handle. Alpha mapped plane objects should be part of any modeler’s pipeline- especially you low-poly junkies out there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey all!
