Re: Answered: dDo, smart materials and UV seams
I think the 'official' response is "no, it must be checked at the time of creation" but I'm pretty sure you can enable it just by editing the project's xml file and adding SeamTermination="true" to the end of the first line inside the closing bracket >. (You should maybe make a backup before following my crazy advice.) So… -
Re: GOW Sculpting Technique Breakdown !
Looks to me like a sculpted edge was re-used to apply detail to the edges of different highpoly modules. To get an edge to conform to different situations, I would look into deformers (e.g. bend, curve). If that doesn't do it, cut it up into segments, pose/deform, blend together anew. An argument for that approach, would… -
Re: Workflow for Morph Targets (Unity Engine) and Normal maps!
Morphing usually only changes the vertex positions, it doesn’t do any changes to the material nor textures. So you only have one normal map. However you would have to implement your own custom setup to also blend textures at the same time. It just wouldn’t be a default workflow. It’s also more taxing on performance &… -
Re: autodesk maya: busted rotation gizmo
Yeah that's not the behavior I see. Did you check the Help file? The video they have is pretty instructive. https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2025/ENU/?guid=GUID-169906C5-CBC4-45CD-8DFB-F716D51D6168 I'm betting you have some non-default option enabled, or you have some other constraint active on the object. Some… -
Re: Mirroring and stacking UVs leads to tangent discontinuity and seam
* stack / offset in UV1 will always create butterfly effect in texturing. As for seams, default materials that use material finish filters or if you use finishing filters in layers this is totally normal behaviour. *To avoid finishing filter seams you make logical UV seams so that seams are hidden. -
Re: Texture baking features?
Okay, I think I understand better now. For instance, say we have a car with windshields just like any other car, and we decide to bake the car's AO as is without consideration to remove them from the baking process. Naturally, they will contribute to AO baking process and depending on the AO's baking settings (i.e. here)… -
Re: Nightshade UV Editor (Maya)
I am not sure if this is a bug but i can reproduce this... I have two (or more) separate meshes and they are unwrapped with nightshade. The objects are very different size. After unwrapping i want to combine the UVs so i can use one texture map for more than one object. When i select all UVs of objects and select LAYOUT… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
What, it's just coincidental that the games they bitch and moan about are ones that are more inclusive of LGBT people, people that aren't white, etc? There's no conclusion to take from them saying that any gender except male is "political" and that LGBT characters merely being included - sometimes in as little as a small… -

@MBauer17 thank you so much for expressing your concerns. I want to assure you - as the person building this technology - that at no point is your work being fed into any database or used by anyone else. As an artist first, and someone who’s personally experienced the pain of having their work used without permission, I’m… -
[SOLVED] 3dsmax 2024 force peel to use LSCM instead of unfold
Hello there, All is in the title. I recently jumped from 3dsmax 2021 to 2024 and after being quite surprised by the new "Unfold" or "Unfold3D" or "Unfold3D Optimize" algo they put everywhere in pack, peel, relax. My question is : is there a way to set any algo I'd like to have by default for everytime I'll go and edit any…
