[Maya] Mel command for convertLightmap
Hello guys, I'm trying to make little and simple script for baking the lighting in my scene. Nothing complicated, but I stuck on an error that I can't understand. Here is my little code :global proc RenderToVertex(){ //create backset ? $bakeSet = "ParadiseBackSet"; if(!`objExists $bakeSet`) { $bakeSet = `createNode -n… -
Re: Best techniques for packing UVs
my workflow is pretty much the same as Bartalon. after I do the auto layout so all shells have same pixel density I re-pack them manually in as small of UV space as I can. For instance instead of using full 0-1 space, I'll use 0-approx 0.85 UV space depending on the model. Then once I'm happy I'll scale everything up to… -
Re: MEL: two strings, one line value?
I don't know mel but a wild stab at it would go like this: if (`checkBox -q -v randScale` == 0) { $getScaleMin = 1; $getScaleMax = 1;} EDIT: On second thought though if these variables are strings wouldn't the values need to be enclosed in quotes? like this: if (`checkBox -q -v randScale` == 0) { $getScaleMin = "1";… -
Re: new to toolbag - SP to Toolbag question about UDIMs
Baking with multiple texture sets only works for me in 3.05 when I put all UVs of all objects into 0-1 UV space (and assign separate materials to the objects I want to bake separately). If I don't, baking finishes very quickly and produces empty maps with just a single color each for all UDIMs outside 0-1 UV space. Is this… -

El ZOrR, we dont have a website yet, but you can take a look at your announcement post on the requests forum (http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=276176&an=0&page=0#Post276176) and register on our forums if you wish. And of course, we'll credit you for your work and include the original model readme, if… -
Re: Scarface WIP
Fun idea to model him with his little friend. Very good likeness of him. His face should be a little bit less long (or wider). Something with the anatomy of his body seems off. Can't put my finger on it and maybe it's just because his jacket and suit pants and very straight which could be a little bit more loose. He does… -
Maya 2016 Vertex Alpha
Hi there, I have a problem that is driving me nuts. I have to paint Vertex alpha values in Maya. My problem is that Vertex alpha 0 makes the geometry transparent which i do not want. I would like to have vertex alpha 0 displayed as white. I have mostly spherical objects and basically all verts have vertex alpha 1 so they… -
Maya UV grid or vert snapping going bananas!

Hey guys, I've always used Max at home and Maya at work, I'm now trying to use maya at home as well so I just brought over all my scripts and hotkeys that I use at work, such as UV Nightshade. Although, something really weird is happening. I tried a million different things and I can't figure out what might be causing… -
Distance - store three nearest Vertices to given Vertex .... Getting Crazy :D (Maxscript)
Hoi Folks, Im building a conform script and i struggle a lot how to get the three nearest vertices to a given vertice in one iteration. I coded a little thing to get it for two but Im hardly confused how to do it. Any help would be really nice . Greetings EliderDeli local oldDistance = 1e9 local oldDistance2 = 1e9 local… -
Re: Maya - Gap when mirroring geometry or duplicate special
many thanks for the great advise. I froze transformation and voila. However, I ran into one issue. Basically, I moved the whole object to x,y,z = 0. Then deleted history and froze transforms. It worked, however, I also wanted symmetry but that didnt work. I guess it cos the symmetry line is the issue here since I cant just…
