    The colors don't look quite as bright to me. Is there a bloom effect missing?

    simply awesome ! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    I'm suprised valve hasnt approached you about some of these tools, it would really benefit other dev's or even mod teams

    Sell the program to Valve and you'll make a bit profit! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    I was able to create an 3d engine that loaded directly from 3ds max files in school using this page <a href="http://www.martinreddy.net/gfx/3d/3DS.spec" target="_blank">http://www.martinreddy.net/gfx/3d/3DS.spec</a>

    But it was a while ago so it might not work for the newer versions of 3dsmax.

    So this is intended for models, textures, or both? Sounds like a great idea, i'd love to practice my art that way <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    A single texture?
  • Cyborg16Cyborg16 Join Date: 2006-11-18 Member: 58656Members
    Maybe something like bump-mapping, parallax or similar? Wouldn't be obvious in that shot anyway.

    Pretty cool viewer you've got. Did you base it on any graphics libraries or write it all yourself Max?

    its waldo goddamnit. he's just gotten sneaky in his old age. no more red and white stripes, its all cammoflage and tiger striped face paint.

    try to look for his pompom beanie.... or his walking stick... or binoculars....

    GIVE IT UP WALDO, WE KNOW YOU"RE IN THERE!!!

    I'll give you guys a hint: There shouldn't be any blue, and take a closer look at the CP.

    Oh there's definitely some missing texture there. I don't think that blue checkerboard is quite right. You can see it very clearly on the box behind the CP. Doh.

    Cool looking tool.
    It definitely would be useful to mappers too.

    The animating logo above CP is missing.
