The Baker is for transferring textures from one mesh to another, it allows for uv rotations when transferring normals etc. What you describe should work.
After doing hair for the first time it occured to me that maybe one could transfer vertex normals from the high resolution sculpt that you bake your normal map from onto the low resolution mesh. Would this be a good idea, do people do it?
I'm using DDO Manager to assign materials to my models and, once finished, i'm exporting using Maya's Transfer Maps. However, when i import the color map, i have to manually assign the materials. What i could be doing wrong?
I'm relatively new actual rigging and animation in 3ds max. I'm having a bit of a problem that I need to get myself out of. I have an object that was animated by rotating and moving the object itself in Max. Now I need to transfer these animations to a bone so that the animation can be used in-engine. Linking the bone to…
Hi, I've been rigging a very simple, very low poly octopus in order to learn the basics of mesh deformation and weight skin painting. I'm having trouble trying to transfer the skin weights from a tentacle to all the other ones, so I don't need to paint each of them. I'm aware of the Copy Skin Weight Tool but it doesn't…
Hi poopipe! Thank you for the response. Thats actually how I published my node but because the offset is on different Transformation node, when the tiling is on, it's breaking. However if I can get what I want in the same transformation node, the tiling wont break. I'll attached a screenshot the one with the different…
Anyone know if there's a way to transfer vertex colour (RGBA) info from one channel to another in maya? I need to do a bunch of vertex alpha work, but would prefer to work in one of the RGB channels and then copy that info to the alpha channel. That way I can work in shaded wireframe view with opaque objects, rather than…
Hey hey - I've recently formatted my PC and want to get my MP3's off of my iPod. Unfortunately they're all sitting on the iPod with messed up file names and in stupid folders like "F5" folder and "FUD6" file name. Nicely done, Apple. Anyone know of a good, free, transfer and converter? I can copy the files off no problem,…
Hi everyone! I am trying to bake normal maps using the maya transfer maps tool, but the geometry of my low poly geometry seems to distort the resulting Map. Wierd right? here are some Pictures of my problem: Normal map http://stringkeeper.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d33mt4h UV's…
Hi everyone, I am working with a game engine which support changing foot angle in-game but shoes should be imported with default skeleton pose. So I decided to create some animation for foot joint and skin shoes to "right" pose then unwind animation to the first frame, duplicate shoes, clear history and transfer weights…
