We are pleased to announce that a new MAXScript is available for checking 3ds Max models for CheckMate Pro v2 compliance. The new tool works with 3ds Max version 2010 and later. CheckMate Pro v2 Tool 2 flags possible fail points such as poles and T-vertices. Please refer to these blog posts to learn how to determine whether the flagged …
CheckMate Pro v2 Specification: Checking Edge Flow
Before submitting your 3D model for CheckMate Pro v2 certification, perform a couple of simple tests for good edge flow.
CheckMate Pro v2 Specification: T-Vertices
Part of creating good topology for CheckMate Pro v2 subdividable models is to avoid T-vertices, the convergence of edges in a T formation, unless they are absolutely necessary for the flow of the model’s shape. T-vertices, or T-verts for short, when used incorrectly, will halt edge flow and cause poor subdivision. Any vertex with only three edges could be consider a …
CheckMate Pro v2 Specification: Realtime 3D Models
Realtime models are allowed in CheckMate Pro v2. Such models don’t need to be subdividable, but should have the lowest poly count possible.
CheckMate Pro v2: Updating Your Pro v1 Catalog
Want to upgrade your Pro v1 models to Pro v2? There are two easy ways to do this.
CheckMate Pro v2 Specification: Objects in Layers
CheckMate Pro v2 requires objects to be placed in a named layer to make it easier for customers to work with your 3D model.
