Re: Adding thickness to clothes?
There's an option in MD to export it as a thick garment. You can also quickly add thickness to it in 3D packages, doing the full back faces or keeping only the rim if it's a close fitting article of clothing: I usually advise to export it as a thin mesh and selectively add thickness later to make retopo easier, but that… -
Re: need a little help with maya
From what I gather you wanted to "copy" certain faces of a model with ctrl+c/ctrl+v? I'd advice against this workflow in Maya. There's a menu option called Duplicate Faces which you could use instead. The reason you get errors regarding exporting when hitting ctrl+c is that Maya actually exports a file and imports when you… -
Re: Wooden crate texturing practice
Well, what I'm driving at is that if you bake and export with non-triangles in the mesh you are hoping that Max and Marmoset are going to triangulate those polygons in the same way. If they don't, you'll get bake errors and weird things here and there. If you triangulate yourself before baking and exporting, you have… -
Re: Modo to UDK
There is also the ase export script and Chai's pipelineIO custom FBX exporter. Out of the box with Modo 501 your best bet is the Autodesk FBX 2006.11 file format, haven't tested the collision meshes with it yet though. The regular "Autodesk FBX" file format from Modo is fairly broken in UDK. Collada works pretty good… -
Re: Zbrush symmetry help
If zbrush doesnt cooperate, do it the oldskool way. 1.If you still have your base mesh, just shift the model onto the origin in maya, re-export to .obj. If not, you can still export your current lowest level and realing in maya. 2.Go back to zbrush, go down to lowest level, click import, pick the newly exported obj, the… -
Re: Texturing pipeline question
jstyles3d is right. Your lowpoly should have uvs. Paint the highpoly in zbrush and export the mesh with colorized active (under polypaint) then point xnormal to your high poly and lowpoly and bake any maps you want. I use max to retopo my characters so I have a decimated version of the highpoly in max. I build my lowpoly… -
Re: 3DSMAX to Unity 3D
Hey man, thank you alot for your insight! Nah, the only modifier is the SKIN. I guessed that it was "normal" to export the mesh and that the bones kind of had to come together to "sustain" the animation into the mesh. That´s why i created this topic, to find a way to bring the animated mesh without the bones, so by doing… -
Re: Animation sharing with scaling?
i think its just an "comunication" problem what maya export and infos the engine get. You can make a group in Maya with your joints, scale it up, visualy its bigger. That group is for example in my case is not respected by the exporter in any way, the animation will get the scaling it has without the group. I don´t say… -
Re: Holes in mesh in Game Engine
[ QUOTE ] Delete history, Freeze Transformations, and Polygons->Cleanup (check the help file for tool description). Also, Normals->Set to Face. And go to yoru attribute editor for the object, Render Settings, and uncheck "Double Sided." [/ QUOTE ] Do all of what professor420 said, but also triangulate before export. For… -
Re: Modo Rules!
The whole smoothing issue is kind of pointless in my opinion. At the moment I don't think there are many engine exporters for Modo anyway, so you will have to bring your model into another 3d app to export it to the engine, so you can just set up your smoothing groups there instead, before the export. For the baking, you…
