Re: Workflow with 3DS and Zbrush for real time scene
2 things that could help: 1) Turn off "SMT" beside the Divide button. That will make it so there is no smoothing applied when zbrush divides your mesh. So you can leave it off for a few divides, then turn it back on for your final ones and it will mostly keep the shape with just a little rounding of the edges. 2) If you… -
Re: Mirror poses in Maya via script?
You have to add all controls in the left list. If you look in the Mirror Table the left list only has R_Foot, COG and simplebot_rt_knee_py_ctrl. The right list only tells their targets on mirroring. So what happens is that only those three controls will receive mirror values. When the script starts for the first time it… -
Re: Maya Extrude Along Curve Question
For the first image, I'm not sure whether you are using Extrude with a curve, or the Bridge tool with a curve. If you are using Bridge (and you just may want to for that specific example) you can adjust the Bridge Offset attribute until the polygon twisting is resolved. For the second image, there is a tool call Wedge or… -
Re: Path Deform (WSM)
Also sometimes when you make a path spline from an edge selection on an object using the "Create Shape From Selection" the only way I can get the object to deform correctly to the spline is by creating a spline object like a circle> attaching this to the spline from selection> deleting the circle object and then applying… -
Re: Hacky Normal Map Correction

Re: 3DS Max: How to avoid relax errors in UV unwrap?
I use relax with cylinder and planar projection, all the time. My main method of unwrapping involves planar mapping the entire object, creating seams, breaking and then relaxing, or just selecting faces and hitting quick peel which skips to the end result of the relax function. Relax will have trouble unfolding long flat… -
Re: How do you setup your references in 3DS Max?
If your using the freeze method and image planes turn gray, this is the best fix I know of. Make the planes the correct size as the bitmap, apply the texture, then select the reference planes, right click> object properties. Then uncheck frozen in gray. Now you can freeze your planes using the right click context menu,… -
Re: Maya Modeling questions coming from Max
The bonus tools (an "official" plugin) have an xray selected objects option, under the display menu. I find the new modeling tools don't work very well with multiple objects.. and it's kinda annoying, for example, you can't even select two objects, both in vertex mode, and drag a selection over them anymore. Freeze… -
Re: {wip} watchtower
I suggest using Unreal 4 if you want to learn how to create "modern game assets", because UDK doesn't have PBR shaders and some other features. For your overlapping problem ( I know you already corrected that but it might be useful ), if you're using 3Ds Max you can easily select overlapping UVs with the select menu>select… -
Re: IK Leg issues
Try using a pole vector control object as well to control where the knee points. 1. Create any desired object that will be your pole vector control object. 2. Place it in front of your knee, not too close. 3. Select your IK handle, then shift-select your new control object. Make sure you select them in the right order. Go…
