Re: *SOLVED* FBX vs OBJ? Why is my mesh baking bad with FBX?
The problem is you set the turbosmooth checked on, Painter can't recognize your turbosmooth modifier and just import the un-turbosmoothed version. It's kinda confusing that the setting seems like asking whether you want to keep your TS or not but in fact it's asking you whether you want to keep and export your TS modifier… -
Re: Where should I start?
https://vimeo.com/31405112 By non destructive, I'm just referring to 3ds max's modifier stack which is like the bread and butter of 3ds max's modeling advantages. it essentially is a stack of modifiers that can manipulate your model in a linear ascending fashion in which you can toggle each modifier on and off or rearrange… -
Re: Are 3ds Max's Modeling Tools Good Enough for Us?
For now I'm staying in max, later maybe I will target maya, softimage, modo. What I am missing in other applications is max's modifier stack, I will say the modifier stack is max most useful feature. Maybe there is a way to build a modifier stack in other application? I will do some tests when I will finish the tools and… -
Re: 3ds max bip file
Thanks for responding monster, it helped a lot. I was wondering if you have recompiled the IPhysique.gup for your Skin2Physique maxscript to use in 3ds Max 2012? I have some models that are using the biped with a physique modifier and I wanted to transfer them to skin modifier. Another option I was thinking of is exporting… -
Re: I am totally stumped with chains.
Hey @Rise! Welcome to the world of 3D Modelling. I'm glad you like the design, though I'd appreciate it if you linked to the thread or the artstation where I posted it. :) Fearian is correct, I modelled two chain links (separate objects) and then gave both objects an array modifier. I also used a simple deform modifier to… -
Re: Spacedraw for Android
Thanks for your message, and sorry for the bug. There were two things wrong, actually: Confusingly, there are two commands named collapse in the menu: The first, which is always there in the modify-ribbon is to simplify the mesh. The second, that appears when a modifier is active is to change the modifier to a normal mesh… -
Re: Is there a way to edit the mesh after skinning?
you should be able to make changes in the editable poly section below the skin modifier really. also, you can insert an edit poly modifier into the stack and do the changes in there. a better workflow in general in my opinion is to keep your skinned mesh as it is and use it as a skinning proxy from then on. then create a… -
Re: LOW-POLY ART
after trying to be smart with doing it all in unreal with layered materials, i checked the shader complexity and decided to break it all down to a few small textures now. its a few tilable normalmaps, and then some tiny color gradients and spec/rough/metal mask. the guns are still materials, will move them into the texture… -
Re: Max vs Maya
Since this thread seems to be fairly informative I thought I could ask something right here instead of starting a new thread. Sorry for the long read, but it's part of the fun so it seems (hi Prof!) I have been looking into quite a few different modelling programs recently - trying to find a possible simple alternative to… -
Re: Blender Edit Mode Performance
Yeah, a screenshot of the UI or preferentially a video would help to understand what's happening and what's unacceptable performance for you. Here for example I'm on a scene with 2m tris and take barely a second to switch to edit mode on a 700k object on my old computer - and I'm okay with that -, while it can take over 3s…
