Is it possible to bake normal maps from several low polymodels down to a single lower poly model?
I have 4 environmental photogrammetry meshes created using Autodesk ReMake. They're all super hi poly. My plan is to arrange them together into a single environment, and generate a single lo poly mesh that I then bake the textures from the hi poly meshes on to using Marmoset. But they're super super hi poly! And I'm not… -

I have a strong preference for hard-surface modelling and… -

Sluggish performance in Maya 2018 LT Quad Draw
I've just upgraded (or downgraded as the case may be) from Maya 2016 to LT2018. In the Quad Draw tool I'm getting a noticeable delay when drawing polygons in the time between when the mouse is clicked and when a new quad appears. It's not unworkable, but it significantly slows down the process. By comparison, in 2016, I… -
Re: Tips for modeling in maya?
The instanced mesh being black is actually a new feature, in the sense that it prevents a potentially dangerous behaviour related to xforms orientation that many new users weren't aware of. The black (flipped) display is basically a warning, in a sense. In order to display the instance mesh "inside out", you need to turn… -
Re: best shaders.
to clear up a few things: -if you have max 2011 with the hotfix or max 2012, you can use the official "qualified" normals fix with any compatible shader. both this and 3point's solutions look identical, but it's a true fix by autodesk rather than a bolt-on to max like 3point's modifier. xoliulshader supports this and lets…
