Re: SG127 Tank
The UVWs have quite a bit of room available for use. It's generally a better idea to place UVs right next to each other. Sometimes rotating them a bit or using some Tetris logic to fit them as tightly as possible is required. For the UVWs, the scale should never be rectangles. It should always be perfect squares. The way… -
Re: Maya to 3ds Max tutorials/transition help?
Also, a summary of what you need Cortis : - Creating geometry : on the right part of the layout, first tab 'create'. Polygonal spheres, cubes, and so on. - To start modifying this : right-click on the primitive you just created, convert to > edit poly (bottom right of the popup menu aka 'quad') - Now the panel on the right… -
[MAX] VRay and Lightmap generation storing "Shadow info" on alpha channel
So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain. It seems to read the alpha channel from the lightmap and use it as a multiplier to the lighting… -

Okay I having some issues with http://www.chuggnut.com/scripts/unwraptools/TurboUnwrapUVW_BETA01.zip Now He claims it works in Max 6 and I have did a goggle search where I read a claim that it works in Max 7.

Move UV shell to absolute position (not ".moveX")
Hi, i couldn't found out how i can just move the selected UV faces to an absolute position (means, the center of the selected shell would be on the new position after moving). I want to move every shell to the same position so they overlap each other. In my case every face is one single shell and i want to have them at the… -
Re: Ctrl + Backspace - Remove not working ...
I use mostly customized max hotkeys - I pulled this section out you can use. 1) Run the macros 2) Set rRemove under category Robot to a hotkey It doesn't do the exact same as the max remove -- It won't remove a vert from an edge if the angle around it is < 170 degrees. To change the degree number, change the section in red… -
Re: 3DSmax - UVtools - Straighten selection messes with spacing?
I see, I was just explaining how to enable the W box. But setting W to 0 is one line of script. selection[1].unwrap_uvw.movez 0.0 -
Re: My first model
Glad to see you posting on Polycount so early! I posted my first model here too and these guys have helped me out immensely. Looks pretty good for your first model. Just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it and be able to make more complex stuff. But you definitely need to work on unwrapping (unwrapping the model… -
Re: UV Relax on an Axis? (Max)
Huh, I didn't realise that, Funky Bunnies. Thanks for the tip, I will try it out and see how it compares! My Maya scripting was not in vain, though! It doesn't exactly do what unfold does - it basically "pins" the end-points of the UV line where they currently are, and "relaxes" the rest of the line between them, so you…
