Looking for exporting tips with ICE topology - SI2014

2013-05-09 Thread Eric Cosky
Hi, I've recently started using ICE modeling to help with some low poly models with tiny textures. The general idea is to make very small components, set up the UVs as needed, then make a larger model that is composed of many copies of the component. I like this approach because it lets me

Probably hitting the ice optimization problem? Make sure your UVs are correctly set by putting a log values just before your set data node. 2013/5/9 Eric Cosky e...@cosky.com Hi, I've recently started using ICE modeling to help with some low poly models with tiny textures. The general

change the c++ to get ice attribute directly or change the ice tree to set the uv cluster property... its up to you :) On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 4:08 PM, Eric Cosky e...@cosky.com wrote: Thanks! That’s very helpful. I suppose it’s probably possible to add some nodes to push the attributes into
