Re: Unwrapping modular pieces for tiling textures
Hi, Try this: ( if(selection.count != 0) then ( /*max modify mode;*/ modsCount = $.modifiers.count; print modsCount; unwrapsCount = 0; if(modsCount == 0) then ( addmodifier $ (Unwrap_UVW()); ) else ( for i = 1 to modsCount do if(ClassOf $.modifiers[i] == Unwrap_UVW) do unwrapsCount += 1; print unwrapsCount; if(unwrapsCount… -
Re: Monthly Noob Character Challenge Discussion
We do have a pretty solid consensus on the choice of concept art. I don't think another poll will be necessary. It seems like this thread has served as a pretty good model for selecting concepts. We should use the same method in future months. As Fnitrox suggested, we should start a new thread on the last week of each… -
Re: Adding Jaw bone to biped in 3ds max
It's there in theory but in practical application it just doesn't work the same. Here is the positioning of CAT, which is the same as any custom bone rig. Biped rubberband mode has you select the joint higher up to move the position of the lower. If you want to move the elbow you select the bicep which has its pivot not in… -
Re: The correct method to combine/mix/overlay normal maps?
There's a pretty easy and completely correct (from mathematical point of view) method to combine two normal maps in PS. Say, layer A is basic NM, layer B is detail NM. So to put detail from B over A you have to do the following steps: 1. Clone layer B - B2 2. Go to blue channel of B2 and fill it with neutral gray. 3. Set… -
Re: Straight lines in krita
You need to use a different tool. If you use the Line tool (it's right next to the Freehand Brush tool on the toolbar), it draws lines using the Brush Preset that is selected, with dynamics and all, as if you were drawing by hand. You can hold SHIFT to snap the line to angles, and you can control the pressure of different… -
Re: [WIP] - Historical British 7th Armoured Division (EL Alamein)
Hmmm... then it might be the install of the mod tools, or something in your system. Ugh. What version of Windows are you running? And does Company of Heroes 2 (the game) work fine for you? Are you running the tool directly from the file manager, or via the Steam interface? I have only run it from the Steam interface so I'm… -
Re: What is UV count?
Yea I was looking into this a few weeks ago when I needed to break the edges on a bunch of models along UV boarders. Its nearly impossible because max doesn't transfer edge or vert selection out of the UVW Unwrap modifier like it does poly, it's totally retarded and broken. Actually, according to renderhjs it is more or… -
Re: Recommend me a modelling app
I would actually recommend NOT doing that. Just learn the MODO way of doing things - that's what the program is best at and trying to bend it so it feels like another app that you're already familiar with is going to lead to lots of little things that aren't the same and make you wonder why you bothered switching in the… -
Re: Maya Saving and Exporting Issue
I forgot to ask what version of Maya. And just to check: when you say upload, are you saving the file to a local drive or somewhere on a network? Either way, try saving to a new file in a different location? The inner/outer thing shouldn't be a problem unless you mass-welded and created some non-manifold joins. Try… -
Re: (WIP) Hand-Painted Fantasy Sword
You get lynched for bumping, you'r technically already dead :/ To fit the 1:2 or 2:1 ratio you need to first fit every thing in to one of the half of the 1:1 UV space. Lets say the lower part. When you'r done fitting everything together you mark all the UV shells and select the scale tool. Then you want to scale in just U…
