Chest looks like... I don't even know. Almost like he ran through cobwebs or something? If they're supposed to be scratches, they don't look like scratches.

Alright, I set up the bones and such, but when I move a limb around I get this weird stretch...

What would cause it to do that?

Some of the vertices are not associated with the bone.

Are you using the skin modifier to rig?

How would I fix that? Do I just attatch MC to the skeleton? Or is there a process to it?

Not that I know of.

Add the verts manually to each bone and set the weight to how much the bone affects each one of them. 1 being highest i think, 0 being not at all.

JK-47 · Post by **JK-47** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 12:43 pm

Do you mean, go in and select a vert on maybe his leg, and attach it to a bone? Or weld?
Also, what's the purpose of the envelope?

Alright guys. Haven't been here for a while but I've got a question about rendering.

When ever I try rendering my scene it turns out extremely dark.

I've added an omni light in front of his face and it doesn't help.

I'll then add a daylight system and it makes it way to bright and too dark in the shadow.

Anyone know why this may be happening.

Also, in my perspective view port, it doesn't display the bump map or the specular.

Is that normal or is something wrong?

No, that is normal. But the other parts I don't know why that is happening. By default the light should make your render bright. Maybe your light is in negative.

r u using bump map or norm map? if u are using bump, you might want to try norm. also i have a question, why does it when i add bump map the black part of the bump turns the scene really dark and norm works fine?

Alright, it was that the settings. I messed them up some how. I got the what I think are the defaults from an other scene. Now, with no lights, the render is extremely bright.

I then add a light and it seems better.

They still seem bright, any ideas?

Keablr · Post by **Keablr** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:09 am

I say to get the default settings merge that file with a new blank file. So then you would have default everything except for the 3D model itself

DEEhunter · Post by **DEEhunter** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:40 am

No I see the problem. He still has the alpha maps in the .dds file when he used them in 3ds max.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:57 am

Which is not a problem, he just needs to go into the diffuse slot and change the properties.

DEEhunter · Post by **DEEhunter** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:04 am

The reason why it seems to look so pixelated is probably because he extracted the bitmap in .bmp format. When I do that it tends to do that. Be sure to extract it as a .dds.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:08 am

He should try this.
