Re: Blender to Maya LT questions
oglu- Of course Maya changed but comparing to Blender amount of changes is small. In 2010 maya was superior in modeling but after ngons in blender 2.63 everything changed. I follow release notes of maya, max and blender and overall progress of autodesk softwares is 3 times slower than blender. electricsauce- I forgot that… -
Re: Maxscript, color per vertex -> ascii output
ok so, having had a proper look at that, basically my next step is to eliminate duplicates, get the GEOMETRIC verts by their position, looping through the vertPosList, and assume for each vert found, the vertPosList colour is equal to the vertColList thats really pretty stupidly complicated, youd think autodesk would have… -
Re: Best UV relaxing tools?
and lets not forget you can frickin define rule sets like edge loop constraints, edge to axis constraints, linear flow pinning or regular pinning that are all incorporated in the relaxing algorithm. mine too, its super fast workflow wise if not the fastest application I know besides perhaps silo. No bloaty autodesk… -
Re: How/where to further my knowledge of rigging
Thanks for those links Ark. I already have the Paul Neale rigging tutorials from cg-Academy and I'm aware of the other sites. I've been subscribed to Digital Tutors for around a year, and to be honest, I found more useful information on Youtube for free. I'm currently looking at the Autodesk 3ds Max 2013 Bible on Amazon,… -
Re: 3ds Max - FBX Z-Up Bug?
FBX is their shuttle service between the apps autodesk has, the Y-up fix is meant to get the models into Maya and other Y-up apps. They have updated FBX a bunch of times since 2008, and a few of those updates monkey'ed with the Z-Y axis flipping issue. I'm not sure you can update FBX on its own or not? You might want to… -
Re: 3DCoat Mega Thread
I wouldn't say 3D coat is far from Zbrush sculpting capability, with a user interface clean up; it would surpass ZBrush. The only reason why ZBrush is the standard is it's well known that most don't consider anything else; that alone shouldn't rule out 3D Coat by a long shot. You can do everything in 3D Coat you can in… -
Re: How to make a Poly-Sphere in 3DS Max video tutorial
That sure is a protracted way to make a polysphere. I'm not saying the tutorial is bad, actually it's that 3DS Max doesn't provide such a commonly used primitive. I can make a polysphere in just 3 steps in Blender: Add cube (shift-A), subdivide cube(Tab>w>subdivide), scale to sphere (alt-shift-S). Metalliandy even made a… -
Re: Mudbox AO map large border??
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
Ok nevermind I figured out what the issue was. For anyone else who might run into this, the plane mesh in Mudbox is not a power of 2 so when you render out to a power of two texture, there's a border. Really terrible oversight of Autodesk if you ask me. Anyway, created my own plane, used a sculpt map to get the terrain… -
Re: High-poly to low-poly
I'm assuming you used qRemesher with both curve guides and masking and at least 3 tries... because it's a lot of trial and error with that tool and these kinds of automated operations in general... but in the end manual retopo is the way to go especially if it's a hero piece, and it's gotten much more streamlined these… -
Re: Quixel Suite - GDC 2015 goodies (to see, not touch)
Thanks for the awesome update. Can you go in detail about the subscription model perhaps? Just interested to know if this will be a classic subscription model ala Autodesk/Adobe where you have access to the service as long as you subscribe or something like Epic's prior GDC were you renewed the subscription in order to get…
