XSIs ease of use and workflow is simply excellent but I feel a little trapped sometimes.

I and a few other XSI users have been running into a few issues with proceduralism and interface in XSI. One ...

Does anyone knows how to make Soft 3D shader (Legacy Shaders) in XSI? I followed the tutorial on Ed harriss

web site but failed to works.


Can somebody help me?

Sweet

Hehe np, so it did work out?

It's found under "surface properties"

Hehe

Hehe well then it won't matter
But for further use this may be a stupid technique, not sure if I did everything the easiest/smartest way

Yeah

But as copy
Not instance
This might screw up your'e smoothing groups
Not sure about that part

I have an idea involving duplicating it and converting it to mesh/poly then select all and use "flip normals" or somehting like that

A box for example consists of 6 faces
Turned outwards
Wich gives it a box look
Well it's not about converting it as much as making a set of faces
Turned the opposite way

Well a face is not two sided
There is no such thing as a true solid in 3d studio

Ah got you
Hm
Are you sure you want to atach the "new" face right to the back of the other one?
That would give it like a "half-tube" look?

I'd go at it this way, duplicate the object (or just the face you want to "duplicate"), flip it, atach it again

.3ds file
Not wrl
It's working with object animation, but for caracters it's not very nice

I wanna export an model animation (with bones) for a game .. and i wanna convert bones animation into vertex animation ?? any idea ??

right click - properties - visible to reflections/refractions

Hehe
Yea i guess it does

I do for the most part
Hehe
Depends if im using something built to metric or imperial I guess

No1 works in meters in max ?
Course they do
Anyways, it would seem its a units issue
Check it all correct

Heh
Why do you have a scene full of primatives?

Where i could locate a tutorial for Pflow's object simulation with particles? Ultimately I want to have an object created as sparks burn over the surface..

You guys say 500 poly is low poly?
