Re: architectural hard edges in mudbox
Haha, yes...Max's smoothing groups are a pain in the butt. It should be a piece of cake for a building though. Ticking 'By Angle' in the Selection tab helps for selecting polys that are facing a similar direction, just select each wall and give them all a different smoothing group number. -
Re: Nabooru of the Gerudo
Hey Alexis, have you tried baking using the ray distance calculator in xnormal? 1, go into tools tab 2, select ray distance calc 3select your mesh in the popup window and press go.

Re: 32bit depth pass maya 2010?
If by 32 bit you mean 24 bit color with 8 bit alpha/transparency, then I have something working. Also, if you're wondering about a file format, .tif works fine.

Re: [MAXScript] Detect Mouse Position Event: In/ Over/ Out
It's all the time, my idea was having the selection type to toggle between box/ lasso but whenever the mouse is over an object it will change to paint selection instead. Something like how modo works on it's selection. Max's default feels a little bit 'stiff' compare to modo :\ -
Re: Practice texturing skill
Clouds can sort of work, if you then select each brick and rotate/flip to get back some seams. Though it might be simpler to just select a few bricks (unconnected ones) and run clouds, then select another few and again, until you've had all. -

A good way to check this is to select everything that is still visible (Don't just marquee select an area- ctrl click on individual shells) and then invert the selection. Resetting your Xform usually fixes it-- in my experience. -
Re: Nice feature update in Maya 2008 extension 2
Hmm, thank god they finally put soft selection in. Soft Modification tool was just about the worst implementation of a soft selection thing I've ever seen Multi-selection should be nice. Will have to see if we can get this update at work, should be useful. -
Re: Mental Ray AO is all black.
More then likely the UV pieces need to be flipped. If you're using 3dsmax go into the UVEditor window, select face mode, click Select > Select Inverted Faces. Flip anything it highlights. If you used the mirror tool it inverts your UV's and they always need to be flipped. -
Re: rednering elements to alpha
problem is luke if you select each colour with the magic wand you get horrible ragged edges. is there a better way to select your colours and get clean edges like the alpha channel does? select by colour range still gives me slightly weird edges -
Re: Help MELscript - component editing
manipPivot -p repositions the gizmo of your component selection in world space. xform -ws -piv repositions the gizmo of your object selection in world space. I don't think there's a way to move a shell selection to world space with a single command that also retains component spacing.
