Re: Gradient texturing on modular tiles causing visible seams
I'm honestly not sure what you're aiming for (to me gradient texturing suggests the use of lookup tables and shaping curves) but... if you want it to look like a bunch of floor tiles it sort of already does - using a box shaped gradient would make it look more tiley if you want it to not look like a load of floor tiles… -
Moving vertex along edge in Maya?
Anyone know a way to move a vertex along an edge without shifting the edge itself? I saw this done in 3DSMAX once and trying to find something similar in Maya. -
Highlighting sharp edges?
Just out of curiosity, is there a method of highlighting the edges of an object? I have more than a few models with mechanical edges (delineated by bevels, unfortunately, not really sharp angles) where I need to align 'paint chips', and doing it the old fashioned way is highly tedious, especially where I have to match… -
mudbox: edge padding on mirrored seams?
using mudbox for painting, I tend to find when I have a mirrored model, and paint down the center, there's no edge padding- I can see occasional bits of pixels that the paint hasnt caught down the seam edge. My uv's are on top of each other atm- if I move them off 1 unit, half the model is a different colour in mudbox and… -
Odd Edges in Tessellated Normal Map Bake
I've been trying to convert the Substance Skewmesh baking process from 3ds max to Maya. I'm running into one odd problem though with my test. One piece always seems to bake weird. The lines are wavy and on the other edges the seams are somewhat visible. When it is baked normally, that edge problem goes away but the bolts… -
Can Maya ever preserve edge orientation on import?
No one: Autodesk: what even are polygons? I did a search and didn't come up with anything I was satisfied with, as they just want to figure out how to get quads through to Maya from max with FBX. But triangulation is important and packages/engines do it differently, as well as is preserving where the invisible triangles… -
Dark edge problem in Maya?
Ok, today I stumbled on a new problem in Maya when polymodeling. When I extruded an face the edges of the face got dark. (see pic) Tested to harden/soften the edges but it didnt do any difference. Any tips on what I've may have done and how to fix it again? Thanks a bunch in advance. -
Can't select multiple edges :S
Hi, I'm using 3ds Max 2010 and I used to select multiple edges by holding Shift, somehow it stopped working and now I'm forced to click on every edge with Ctrl. Anyone knows how to fix it? -
Re: Maya Select all by Componets (verts,edges,faces)
Here's a workaround, maybe not usable for what you want. But you probably know that F8 goes to object mode, F9 to vertex mode, F10 to edge mode and F11 to face mode. Combine this with the CTRL button and you get a convert action. So you can convert a face selection to a vertex selection for instance. You can also go from… -
Re: Hard edges on UV seams for character models?
For a mesh like this, where all the shapes are generally soft and there is enough geometry to represent the harsher angles, there isn't much benefit to setting uv borders as hard edged. There may be some drawbacks to doing it, especially if you need to make LODs. Generally with organic shapes, you'll get more issues with…
