Re: How do you accurately calculate eularAngles to avoid flipped orientation?
I wanted to share my solution that seems to work. I wanted to make some dynamic function that accounts for all scale problems (as that would be most diverse)... but since the problem seems unlikely in most circumstances, I'm stopping for now with the following code. I hope it helps someone. Essentially, if you need to have… -
Re: Max 2008 back to Max9
Newer versions of max files won't open in previous versions (usually) so the best way to get aroud that is to export as .obj. Before you do so you may want to take the time to make sure your nurms or mesh/turbosmooth and any other sub-div modifiers are off, reset your x-forms and if it's only a single object your… -
Re: Strange normal map seam.
Generally, for best results from Max-> Toolbag 2: 1. Triangulate before export, TB2 may triangulate quads in a different direction than max (or any other app), which will result in X shaped smoothing errors 2. For OBJs, Make sure "export normals" is on, "export smoothing groups" is not enough as SGs are a max specific… -
Re: 3DS Max save/load animation problem
If all that fails, select the Pelvis in the first file and run the first script. Then select the pelvis in the second file and run the second script. This is pretty much guaranteed to work. If it doesn't work you have a separate hierarchy or pivot problem. --SCRIPT THAT COPIES THE ANIMATION CONTROLLERS OF THE SELECTED… -
[FILLED] Character Modeling + Weapons
We are an Indie team of 2 guys working on a TopDown RPG game. Our art direction is stylised. We would like to have a character with a similar style and shape : We need : - High Poly of the Character without equippement ( ZBrush file or fbx / obj ) - High Poly of a similar Sword and shield ( ZBrush file or fbx / obj ) -… -
Re: Arm and Wrist Pain - how did you dealt with them?
The slowdowns I see with that are: a) you need to be constantly aware of your camera position and in which axis you want to move. That always take me a second of thinking, so it loses out of the box.b) with ZXY, I can never hit the right button without looking down at my keyboard. c) actions that don't need to be precise… -
Re: Strange mesh smoothing on high poly meshes
It's a little hard to tell what the problem here is, could you highlight it? I'm seeing some weirdness on the rail and maybe some odd shading on the slope coming down from the rail as well. Is that what you mean? We do have a known issue with high poly meshes, sometimes sections of the mesh will appear to have slightly… -
Importing a Character
Hi I'm looking to get started in UE and was hoping to get pointed in the right direction when it comes to uploading characters and animations. I have a character made up in 3ds max, textured and ready to go. I'm about to bring the base into blender and start rigging & animating him. If anyone has a good up to date tutorial… -
Re: Any way to transfer explicit normals to smoothing groups in 3dsmax?
This might work. 1. Import the fbx. 2. Make sure it's an Editable Poly and run the script below to select hard edges' vertices. 3. Convert selection to edges. 4. Add Edit Poly modifier to remove explicit normals. 5. In Edit Poly set everything to one smoothing group. 6. Go into Edit Poly edge mode, selection should be… -
Re: Rigging Question.
Here's the script for adding multiple bones to multiple meshes: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> //global proc CRaddMultiInfluence() { string $sel[]=`ls -sl`; string $objects[]; string $bones[]; for ($node in $sel) { if (`nodeType $node`=="joint") $bones[`size($bones)`]=$node; if (`nodeType…
