Re: BroDynamics, spring-like simulation tool for character animation
I've had a bit of a play before I head off. Got good potential here, simple and easy, I like it. Two things I'd adjust is: Overwriting peoples shortcuts. This could just be a coincidence of me breaking something on my Maya. But I just wanted to check with you if you are. Secondly maybe you could keep the last selected… -
Re: Help needed.
I just finished up a weapon for centaur, and there are definitely some weird things that go on with his bones. I'm not sure what it is but I use Cinema4D and with any other item I've worked on I am just select all verts on the object and select the bone and hit bind. With the centaur weapon I had to manually paint all… -
Re: World war 2 stick grenade
Cylindrical mapping, or simply select the edgeloops at either end of the cyldrical shape of the handle, convert to seam. You can also select one of the loops running vertically (if the grenade was standing up) and do a unfold strip from loop and simply scale it until correct. (in uvw unwrap modifier, 3ds max) There will… -
Re: Noob question: Swift Loop Not previewing/Looping in Max
As an update, closing and restarting Max again did NOT help the issue. I unfroze the other piece of geometry in the file's scene, and the Swift loop function, preview and all, WORK great. This problem only occurs when I select this new piece of geometry, the Swift Loop mode neither previews, nor actually produces any loops… -
Re: Weird triangles appearing in low poly
Put a Smooth modifier on it, tick the 1 button, then Collapse the modifier stack. If you want, you can do your modeling in the Editable Poly modifier below it, and use Show End Result (the test tube icon) to see it smoothed while you work. However, you'll need to prevent the sub-object selection from being passed up the… -
Re: Artifacts on baked normal maps
I'm not sure if Max has a similar function, but if I needed to do this in modo what I would do is: 1. Select all the faces that are wrong 2. Break them off and move them 3. Select all the edges for the holes you just made by moving the faces off 4. Do a move and sew operation, which will bring those pieces back, but… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
@TannedBatman Are you trying to get just that outside piece as a squarish island? If so the easiest thing to do is this: -Select the island -Hit Unitize under the Polygons menu in the top menu bar -Select all the edges then deselect your seam as well as the top and bottom seams in the viewport -Then Move and Sew UV's (or… -
Re: Maya textures changing and not assigning without warning?
I've plenty of other materials problems, but not that, sounds infuriating! Are you using Viewport 2.0? I'm assuming there's nothing special going on in your shader networks. My first guess is that you have doubled faces- if you box select a single face, does the poly count HUD show more than one face selected? Second guess… -
Re: Max to Maya: Help Make It Easier
so i dont have a .gif or anything for this, hopefully the question is pretty straight forward.. i have an object made up of say 5 boxes.. i want to select all of the elements and scale them relative to each other. i know this is easily done if the elements are different objects, but im looking for a way to not have to… -
Re: Noob questions on Maya manipulator
You can double click on the Translate icon on the left hand column of icons. Choose "Normal" for the move axis, select the vertices you want to move, and move them how you want. It will move each vertice along the specified normal axis. The limitation is it can only do it by verticies, not faces, but you can select…
