Re: Robot concept
well, some of the faces that you may think only have 4 sides, probably dont. take a square for example. 4 sides. yes. but, if you add a vertex in the middle of one of the sides, that side become 2 sides. the vertex breaks it into two. so now the square is 5 sides, not 4. the square still looks like it has 4 because each… -
Re: Messed up mesh because of undo?
Thanks for the replies. There are no faces underneath the affected faces, and I just can't see what's special about the affected faces. I've tried looking underneath, flipping them etc. I've also experimented a bit and arrived at the conclusion that it's always the same faces that are affected (so it's not just random) no… -
Re: 3d max retopologizing Shrink/relax problems
I want smoothing on the new vertex (turbosmooth add) and keep vertex original possession of the original vertex. -
Re: AO, Lightmaps, and the problem of too many big textures.
Yeah I agree, you could easily use vertex color instead. Not only that but you don't really need a UV channel just for color do you? Based on the engine your using you could just set the color of an entire model that way if the whole model is one flat color. Then you could bake AO into a different vertex color channel.… -
Re: Shader Paramiter questions.
I have a world position offset material that controls an object's vertex positions relative to camera position. I have a point light that does not interact correctly with that shader. ( Example when the vertex move, the point light does not follow the vertex positions.) I have another variation of the shader that will move… -
Idea for a skinning tool for Maya (or any other similar package), wondering if it possible.
I was talking with a friend recently, and an idea popped into my head but since programming or scripting is not my forte, I figured I would put it out to the public and see if anyone familiar with programming Maya (or similar design suites) would know if it is possible. Basically, the idea was for a transform widget-like… -
Maya Locking components, modelling toolkit help
Hey, I was looking for a better way to lock specific components in place and I ran across this on the maya help site: To lock vertices * In your scene, select the components you want to exclude from your transformation. * Select one of the transform tools. See Transform tools. * Do one of the following to lock an axis:* In… -
Re: [WIP] Need Advise for stylized leaf system like this video. These are my attempts.
Hey! These look really cool already. Have you investigated custom vertex normals? Some ideas here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Foliage#Foliage_Examples -
Re: 3ds Max not showing vertices
Doesn't vertex paint on stack automatically sets vertex hidden mode? I've had this problem occur mostly during vertex painting. -
Re: Baking Zbrush polypaint through 3ds max?
So .OBJ is actually quite a dated format now, and alot of programs want to store information in it that it just wasn't designed for. Vertex colour is the best example of this. By default, .OBJ's do not store vertex colour. Zbrush actually has a hacky way to stick the colour information in the file, and then it knows how to…
