3Ds Max polygon selection changed
Hello! I'm fairly new to 3Ds MAX and don't really know all the options and shortcuts yet and I've ran into a small hiccup. When I go into the select polygon mode, it doesn't select the whole polygon anymore ( it doesn't become pink) but it looks like the edges around the polygon are selected instead. The polygon still gets… -
Re: Polygon fill tool still can't cull backface?
It still happens... To prevent this, one must single-click every polygon. -
Re: Tris = Polygons?
A line is a geometric shape made up of 2 points. A polygon is a geometric shape made up of 3 to infinity points. A triangle is a polygon with 3 points A quad is a polygon with 4 points An ngon usually refers to a polygon with more than 4 points. -
Terminology, Polygon/Face
Hey guys. I was just curious if there is a difference between the polygon component called "Face" (Maya only?) and a "Polygon"? Or is this just two different words for the same thing? Within Maya they always refer to the surface component of a polygon object as a "Face", well except in some menus where you actually find… -
polygon fill often misses or paint incorrectly, what to do?
Is it me or is Substance Painter polygon fill painting isn't quite responsive? I zoom all the way to the polygon and click on the dead centre of a triangle, it often doesn't register, or worse, paint a triangle on other side of the mesh. If you paint by mouse drag (draws a rectangle on screen) and it follows the Maya rule… -
[Maya] Smoothness without having too many polygons..
Hello Polycount. I have a question about topology in Maya, I see a lot of 3d models that have very smooth surface but with least amount of polygons. How is it possible to have that kinda of smoothness but without having many polygons?… -
Max- extruded polygons have no smoothing group
when I make a cylinder for example and I extrude a cap face, the polygons have no assigned smoothing polygons where as the original polygons are assigned to 4. It's not that much of a problem, just a huge annoyance when modeling. does anyone know how to fix? -
UV Unwrapping Multiple Identical Polygons
Ok so I need a bit of help with unwrapping this mesh that I've been working on. It's a set of wings which has a lot of feather polygons. What I need is all of these polygons to be stacked on a single place in the UV map. This is what I mean by that . This is because I need the maps applied to every single polygon. Is there… -
3ds Max Q- Selecting a specific polygon
I need to select a polygon by its name (Polygon 123). I've been having an issue with baking in xnormal and have narrowed down the problem to that face. I've never had to get a polygon by its number so I don't have a clue how it's done in max Thanks! -
Strange polygon shades
Hello, i have a probably simple question. Sometimes i get a strange looking polygons, mostly when i try to manipulate vertices and edges. When i clear smoothing groups i still get it but when i apply problematic polygon to any smoothing group the problem is gone. Same with Smooth>autosmooth, it helps. Third thing is when i…
