Except the rows doesn't disappear when you finally fit the islands.
Imagine if they disappeared if you fit them together too perfectly.

And wasn't undoable.

speaking of uv mapping i hear it's really really well designed in modo. one pixar employee stated that someone was having trouble unwrapping a model (hours of failed attempts), handed it off to this guy (who uses modo), and he unwrapped it in a few minutes.
really modo just looks like an all around fantastic program. gonna try it out next week.

Nice, that first one definitely looks like a picture (from a bad camera).
For a second there, I thought it was a reference.
I'm having some issues with blotchy-ness in a VRay night scene, my usual fixes for this don't seem to be working. Any ideas?

Quick question. If you're supposed to split UV islands based on smoothing-groups (one smoothing group means one island) when baking normals, what do you do if you need the diffuse map to run seamlessly across multiple smoothing groups?

You probably need to increase your interpolation samples in Irradiance Map.
Progress on my car:

Just started today with 3Ds Max, could someone recommend me a good tutorial or something to get me started, I know there are thousands of separate tutorials out there but I wanted to hear which ones you guys recommend.
And so it begins...

Shit, could I get some help? I thought I might have flipped my normals but apparently not. What've I done?

Forgot automerge is only a few seconds after posting. Excuse the double post.

what is this blastfounded UV grid you are using and why does it look vastly superior to checkerboards?

Pretty sure I just googled UV Checker but here you go:

Any solution for my problem?
Oh my

What do you think guys, should I try? I only know a fair amount about rendering to around the extent of DOF and good looking lighting. I felt really honored to get this but I am a mostly modeler and texturer, not to much of a render genius.

Whenever I get requests like that, it always reminds me of this one comment I got on one of my models on Game Banana.

The normals aren't flipped, the UV's are just mirrored.
I know 3ds max has a mirror function when unwrapping in both horizontal and vertical direction.
Just select the mirrored UV's and click here. But you might as well unwrap it all before you mirror it.

Cool I'll remember that for the future. I knew about the mirror function but had never had that happen before. It seems to have fixed itself though oddly.

Those are pretty good renders.
I assume you used vray?
Also that dof is way overdone.
[QUOTE=woolio1;36151373]Polys?[/QUOTE]
Too many, it's a high poly and since I can't normal for shit I'm still trying to figure out the best way to make the low poly.
It's also a crate from Tribes :v:
