Re: Several questions about modeling in 3ds max.
If you attach an object with modifiers stacked, these will automatically count as the final geometry in the attachment process. So if you've twisted things around with an FFD, this twisted mesh will be attached to your original object, and so forth. Attaching a mesh with a TS modifier will attach a very heavy mesh, since… -
Re: Rotation Transform Axis Constraint?
I could do, but I'm not much of an animator, at that point I'd rather fix it all manually, especially if it has some complex geometry on it. I assume there is an easy way to do this somewhere in Max, but if not it's just going to have to be done by eye :D Edit: Yeah soft selection seems to work fine after playing with the… -
Re: Interactive BMW (on a Phone?)
to build on what BARDLER said, you need to add more geo! Dont be afraid to use splines to block out edges in 3d before getting in to the mesh, and use lots of mesh modifiers (youll need so much geo that adjusting vertices by hand wont be viable anymore unless maybe if you use soft selection, but im not a fan of it) Most… -
Re: Looking for UV unwrapping/packing critique
You can weld the belt seams together and still have hard edged smoothing groups on them that are visible after baked. Smoothing groups and UV unwrapping do not influence one another. It's possible to have textures of rectangular shapes: 64 x 512, 1024 x 128 etc. and no redundant padding is required. This is absolutely… -
Re: Half-Life 2 Model Pack
thanks for the advice! :) I didn't end up using an FFD because I wanted to keep the inside of the pump un-curved, but I did end up getting rid of the pinching by using the double-smooth trick. well still, it was worth fixing i think thanks guys! so, little progress report: Brightside is done with the crowbar and the… -
Re: 'Soul Remains' Devlog(?)
The chances of this amounting to anything are looking pretty slim if I've managed to drag modeling one character out half a year, but... I worked on Murgheal's texture some more today...? [Full res] The process has been a mess, I think I may have been better off starting from scratch than relying on the AO and Lighting… -

FFFUUUUU This is really awesome! Well done Funky! -
Re: [WIP] Rogue (x men evolution)
I've done some stylized characters in the past, so if I have to chose, I guess, i'll take the second option. I've never played FFXV, or any Final Fantasy for that matter, so I dunno...maybe. Meanwhile : At this point, I'm interested in what material is her costume? Is it leather or rubber or latex? What kind of texture… -
Re: 45 degree move angle
Hmm that'd work for sub-object selections etc, is there a way to use it when using modifiers like FFD etc and moving the control points? -
Re: .-| Week 8 - The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
How are you meant to wrap around the pistol grip patterns without using an ffd modifier? Having a hard time finding any info on that, and the use of skin wrap modifier in max. From the examples it looks pretty easy to do with ffd modifiers because the grip is sectioned off into almost planar surfaces. Although what if I…
