Always wanted to make this knife. Heavy use of the Bend and Twist modifiers in 3DS Max helped. The blade and handle we modeled straight and then UV'd. With the twist modifier applied afterwards so the UV shells remained straight and clean. Many more renders on my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/d09XrX
Does anyone know how to create the scattered polygons shown in the picture under the Modified Normals text in 3ds max? I know that this is from another thread but it didn't exactly explain step by step on how to create the modified version of the object.
I am making this squirrel and wanted to use the Fur modifier and do a render to texture bake but I am not sure if that is possible...any ideas? I just see these amazing results from the fur modifier and wanted to bake it onto a map.
Is there any way to use the FFD modifier only on a few vertex that I selected before adding the FFD modifier? When I try to do that, the FFD change all my model once I try to save or go on edit poly again.
Hi all! Can someone help me modify this script to prevent negative value?
Lowest value that I need is 1, not 0 or -1. (local currMod = modPanel.getCurrentObject()(if (classof currMod) == Editable_Poly then ($.edgeChamferSegments -= 1)else ($.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].edgeChamferSegments -= 1)))
Hey, I would try Edit Triangulation in the Edit Poly modifier. If that doesn't improve things you could have a play around with the Edit Normals modifier.
You should play around with the "shell" modifier. You make a single poly thickness, and the shell modifier gives it actual depth and connections. It's awesome for this kind of thing.
From the top of my head, I would look into simple deform modifier to twist the cables or model a tiling twisted segment, followed by an array and curve deform modifier. Checking "Stretch" and "Bounds clamp" for the curve can be useful. Good luck 👍
that definitely does not sound like a max error, but something on your behalf. i assume you do not collapse your UV modifier down, then do stuff to the mesh and then your modifier doesnt apply anymore?
