Re: Maya paint effects conversion
mmh. If you use modify->convert->paint effects to polygon it should convert the viewport mesh 1:1 to polygons(unfortunately to triangulated, no quad convert supported). I just checked, works fine. -
Re: Teaching self maya. bwaaagggillyglyjaaargfunkit
daz: aah thanks, that way is much better. Ive been doing it in settings>preferences>polygons>polygon display. -tick show normals, make an object, untick it.. still got the normals sticking out of it. -
Re: Remington ACR / Magpul Masada
Well, I've been modeling guns for years, and seen a lot of gun models, and usually in that polygon range there's a lot more detail and smoothness. It's probably those rails that are eating up your polygon count. -
Re: Maya - Vertex ring?
It sounds like you want to use curves. You can convert any edge selection to a curve (Modify > Convert > Polygon Edges to Curve with a Degree setting of 1), then you can duplicate that curve and loft it as a polygon surface. -
Re: Maya[n] Woes
maya in vista works normally for me, but who knows.. check the custom polygon display dialogue (think its in display>polygons), and make sure all the settings are how you want then hit apply- see if that does anything? -
Re: WIP: T-34/85
the smoothin error on the turret comes from a polygon in "tension" try moving the verts around so the polygon is perefctly square. If its supposed to be curved or be part of a curved object you need to add in more edges to support the curvature -
Re: high-poly modelling for non-organic objects
whatever you think its best for you... I would use zbrush to make a start and then use polygons snapped to it to make the bevels and such. I know ppl that makes it from scratch and start with polygons and they do it very well. -
Re: Zbrush 4R7
How far do you guys think the new polygon modelling tool will be taken, because I see them currently being really good for base mesh creation but not as efficient as traditional polygon modelling. -
Re: can Maya control selected edges with bezier curve
Hmmm, maybe a transfer attributes between a curve and your polygonal mesh ? This way you could use the curve to control the polygons. I'm not sure if you can constraint it to only a certain number of vertex however... -
Re: Jack Frost
Hi, Here is my progress, detailing in Zbrush. This head model is at around 20 million polygons. I had to break the model up to Subtools, as 44 million Polygons was too much for a 12 gig machine.
