Hello. I am attempting to send a model from 3ds max to Mudbox and I keep getting an error regarding a high-valence vertex. I have looked into it and there seems to be no guides on how I edit the model in 3ds max to overcome the high valence, but there is loads for Maya. Could anyone help me out or point me in the right…
This thread talks about it. I would like to figure out how to calculate in Maya the number of vertices that an object will have when imported into Unreal. https://polycount.com/discussion/191096/is-it-possible-to-show-vert-count-in-maya-the-same-way-unreal-does/p1#Form_Comment In that thread, @throttlekitty says: "I think…
I've been looking through Ryan Hawkins 'Vertex' and wanted to try the Jeans texturing method (shown on page 176 onwards) on a character I've got. My question is, how would you go about getting an unwrap as clean as his, in order to then be able to use overlays when making the texture. I know I can relax with fixed boundary…
MaxScript is strange. Some of the more difficult or intricate tasks it pretty much does for you, and yet some of the absolute simplest tasks like modifying a vertex position is difficult or undocumented. The Editable Mesh or Editable Poly methods don't work on the EP modifier, and I can't find anything suggesting how this…
"Same goes to MoI or cad done models . Even if you have to re-do some tessellation parts projecting UVs back is usually simple and done together with vertex/split normals ." Yeah picking up on what gnoop said, a few industry guys I know of swear by CAD workflows which I suppose their inhouse pipelines may support i.e. CD…
Can someone help tell me what is the best method of removing vertex influence from bones? I have a character with rig set up and ready to be used, but when applied to skin modifier (this is required since I will be using MD5 format) some bones have much larger influence on the mesh, and I don't want that. I tried setting…
Hi guys I read this thread here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65348 and I'm mostly using rick's maxscript, just testing things out. I'd like to assign a material's diffuse to vertex colours, and running this script:modPanel.addModToSelection (VertexPaint ()) ui:on$.modifiers[#VertexPaint].lightingModel =…
There is a tutorial by Kevin Oxland that is great for using vertex paint in 3DS for terrain texturing. However, I never actually dl'ed the tutorial, i always just referenced his website and his site is down now. Does anyone actually have the pdf that they can share? Here's a link on this forum from a while ago discussing…
The article can be found here: https://80.lv/articles/001agt-004adk-005cg-modular-scene-in-ue4-blockout-vertex-paint-decals/ Here is the breakdown of my modular environment inspired by Detroit: Become Human and made during CGMA course UE4 Modular Environment led by Clinton Crumpler. Thank you 80 Level and Kirill Tokarev…
