Animation compiling help
Greetings! I posted this on the Dev forums, but I thought I may find some help from the animation experts here too. :) I am running into difficulty getting custom animations to appear in game. I'm working on some attack animations for Juggernaut. I ran into some problems - mainly in compiling the QC file to include the new… -
Re: Need help baking normal maps using Maya
Here's my Maya to Xnormal workflow using custom cages. It should work every time. 1. Export your highpoly mesh as an .OBJ file. An export straight from Zbrush is fine. 2. Export your lowpoly mesh from maya as an .OBJ file. Check that the .obj export settings have both normals and smoothing checked "on" before you export.… -
Re: Xnormal problems - use cage only projects outward?
Can you post some screenshots with your settings, normal map and cage setup in xNormal, pls? And... did you see any error/warning while exporting the max's cage using the SBM exporter? Do you mean "Use closest hit if ray fails" option? In theory that should be always checked to avoid errors if the ray fails.... but can be… -

Re: Is there a Maya equivalent of uvHelper?
I'm using Maya 7. I don't think relax or unfold work quite the same way uvHelper does. From my experience, uvHelper works perfectly, either the first, second, or third time, removing stretching of uvs near perfectly. I've found a way to use it though, but its kind of backward. 1) Backhack from Maya 7.0 (because my 7.0 obj… -
Substance painter workflow
* Hello everyone. I am sort of new to Substance, and I have some thoughts about the process. I am modeling in Blender. My method of modeling is to model all parts separately, and then assemble them to the complete model. This can ramp up to a lot of objects (e.g. guitar - made of many small parts). My question is this:… -
Modo - PipelineIO + Vertex Normal Toolkit?
I want to start and use PipelineIO to export my meshes for bake in xNormal to speed workflow a bit. Usually (in Maya) I just set my soft/hard edges by angle and then adjust some edges manually if needed. Since Ariel's script doesn't have that functionality I was wondering if it would be possible to use the vertex normal… -
Re: How can I UV a model when its subtools had been merged and decimated? Confusion in the workflow.
Ah ok. You can polypaint the decimated merged model in zBrush and export it, probably best as fbx to Maya. From memory you have to have the colorize button (polypaint menu/ tool shelf) active in zBrush for the export. That will export the painted vertex colors. For vertex color you dont need uvs. Normally you would… -
Re: Asking Maxers to recommend Alt.
There are two things that are wrong: 1. No axis selction when exporting. So when I work in Z-up axis, it will be converted to Y-up axis on export. 2. FBX export automatically break edges if there is something wrong. I can't say option for memory right now, but in max you had to uncheck single box to prevent it. In any case… -
Re: Triangulating in 3ds max before baking?
My example stands, it's not like i am making meshes with errors on purpose :) What fbx export settings are you using? i can not reproduce this. As soon as i turn triangulation on it changes the way triangles are built from max. even with preserve edge orientiation. interestingly enough if i export an editable mesh, even if…
