Re: Alien: Isolation inspired environment
On the issue of softening all the edges, I usually select and soften all of the edges (not the object) and then do filter selection based on angle to isolate the edges that are closer to 90 degrees and harden those. definitely beats going in manually and selecting every hard edge. -
Re: Maya LT Placement Tool

Re: Exporting textures to hand paint in photoshop
Yes like Joopson said, you just overlay your Exported U.v.'s over the textures in say Krita or "photohop". In max there is an option when exporting wireframe "u.v.'s" , you can take away the inner lines of the wireframes and keep the outter wireframes. Do not have 3dsmax in front of me nor on this p.c. but its selection… -

Re: Maya Triangulation Error
Try running this while the object is selected (and NOT in a component mode), it'll break all faces and re-merge them: string $curSelObj[] = `ls -sl`; PolySelectConvert 3; //verts polySplitVertex; polyMergeVertex -d 0.0001; select -cl; selectMode -o; select -r $curSelObj; -

Re: How to count your polygons and tris?
If you press "7" on your keyboard with an object selected, it toggles an in-viewport polygon counter on and off. If you have an Editable Poly object, it will tell you how many polygons you have selected in any particular area, it's in the Selection rollout in the Modify panel. -
Re: Maxscript model exporter troubles
ok in further investigation it seems the problem is caused by missing TVerts. it seems the amount of TVerts is set by how many verts you have in the uwv's (for example by breaking poly's on unwrap uwv you get more) now, by needing all vertices in the mesh including redundant ones (num tris * 3) instead of actual all-welded…
