Re: "Use Pivot Point Center" in Maya equivalent
Yes it does. On a Editable Poly object (or within the Edit Poly modifier) you set the pivot to "use pivot point center" it will scale independent selections around their own pivot center. You can also use a edit polygons tool called "outline" to shrink each selection based on its individual boarder. Oddly if you select… -
Re: PolyTrans
what about demo-ing it first? i do not believe at all that polytrans handles whatever you throw at it. i used to use it way back to transfer between max and softimage 3d and it was as limited as any other scene translator, meaning that some things just could not be transferred. if you're only dealing with baked down… -
Re: Is PC gaming dying?
I feel the same way. I mentioned this in #md the other night, but was talking specificly about the FPS genre. Many of the most popular PC games are simply older titles brought to new life with better graphics...while the gameplay is still years behind. One of the reasons these games have thrived so well is the ability to… -
Re: 3Ds Max Skin Question
hehe, I can feel your pain. Actually it will crash every now and then when collapsing to skin and then selecting the now greyed out SkinWrap modifier even if you do everything right. The simplest workflow would be like this: On the one hand you have your skinned mesh, on the other your new one with the modifications. You… -

Re: HK UMP45 WIP
Download textools and use the UV shells to smoothing groups tool. This will save hours of fiddling and it will ensure it's done 100% correctly. Each UV shell should have its own smoothing group. You want to separate the shells based on where the hard edges are. Having a UV split, and thus different smoothing groups, on an… -
Re: Jeremiah Bigley - Maxscript Adventures
thanks for the info SimonT! I went a little MIA there... got busy with work. Haven't had much time but I got to play around with this. What it does:It will jump to the current subobject level of the object you pick when you run it. Notes:Haven't had time to test it out really. Definitely not for production yet. :P Still… -
