Hex2 painting: weathering, rusting, dirt, etc ? - Polyloop

marcovth · 17th April 2006, 18:24

Hello ...

I can not wait for Hex 2 !

Are there any special painting features build into Hex 2 to make objects look rusty, dirty, or old (paint coming off) ?

The Modo team announced that they add fur, hair & grass paint tools to their 201 version. Can we expect any of that with Hex 2 (or 2.1) as well?

Modo 201 will also come with a photoshop plugin that will export uv layouts as photoshop paths, ... any chance Hex 2 (2.1) will come with a photoshop plugin?

- Marco.

I believe the fur, hair and grass paint is to do with their renderer. Since Hex 2 is a modelling and 2D texturing program, how will they include such a thing?

When did they announce this?

The last I heard they had a way of simulating it with microdisplacement but no true hair/fur tools.

That's not hair, it's micro polygon displacement, something that happens only at rendertime. Modo 201 does NOT do hair. It can be simulated but officially, there is no hair plug-in, add-on or code built into the program at the moment.

A quote from Brad Peebler of Luxology:

"They make it do things that were never intended. Like what you say? Well, as you probably know 201 does not have a hair/fur system."

I am presuming it should be very, very simple to do Marcovth. Has anyone been trying out the WOW texture painting brushes in the trial version of the Microsoft Expressions Graphic Designer? I would imagine Hex 2 will be similar.
