MEL Materials/Textures
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting in the tech talk section. I've been messing around with MEL Script for some time now and one of my buddies suggested showing some of my code to a larger audience to receive better feedback. I don't necessarily want to learn MEL thoroughly, but it's nice to know enough to be able… -
Re: Affinity Photo - decent replacement for photoshop?
Many thanks gnoop :) So the answer is still no. Still no easy selection cage. But maybe we misunderstand each other here. What you describe is a quick mask, followed by a move tool, followed by an edit <- is this the part where you can finally adjust the size of the selection rectangle? As told that's what keeps me with… -
Re: Learning Maya's Animation System
Let's see here. Off the top of my head: [ QUOTE ] First there is orientation alignment of bones. When you have for example three bones in the forearm (one for the elbow, two for the twist) you want them to be perfectly aligned. In max you could simply select a clild of the elbow and align it to the parent's orientation.… -
Re: Repeat command at mouse position
If one position of a point is here; Mouse position : 947 540 0. Then it must be possible to take that point and select, like symmetrical do the same thing on another point except opposite world coordinates by storing it into a empty array, selecting another point and applying the same world coordinates to the other point… -
Re: inverting a gear wheel?
I'm not really sure what end result you are picturing so this may or may not apply... - Select the tops of the gear teeth (using angle select, or the graphite modeling tools select outer) - Set the gizmo to "use selection center" - Scale them negatively toward the center until its inverted. Or if you meant make the valleys… -
Re: 3dsmax snaps help?
another perspective-monkey here, although i frequently hotkey to various ortho views. the weird zooming can be countered with zoom extents selected, it resets the zoom of the view. and it zooms in on sub-object selections as well, which is nice, when working in details. i've also changed rotation to arc-rotate selected.… -
Re: noob born babe
collapsing the stack is the problem. collapsing tells it you are done adding uv maps. do this instead: 1) mesh/poly select 2) select polies you want to map 3) uvmap 4) uv unwrap 5) move the mapping to a distinct area 6) mesh/poly select 7) select new area 8) repeat steps 2-7 until you model is fully mapped if you want at… -
Re: Most useful shortcuts nobody knows
maya- ctrl+f8,f9,f10,f11,f12 convert selection to obj,vert,edge,poly,uv (just got to check that maybe shift) photoshop- -ctrl+click on channel: creates selection mask from greyscale values -ctrl++click on channel: adds to a selection mask from greyscale values -ctrl+alt+ click on channel: removes a selection from greyscale… -
Re: [3dsmax] UVW seams to Smoothing Groups?
Here's a script "UV borders to hard edges". The algorithm is quite simple: 1) Select UV borders (used part of Renderhjs' script for Roadkill uwrapping) 2) Convert UV edges selection to EditPoly edges selection (Max is a real pain in the ass!) - my part of the script 3) Make smoothing groups in hard edges style (used script… -
Seperate UV Island in 2nd Map channel how?
Hello there, I have my object mapped in Channel 1 for diffuse and normal. There are seams everywhere. I want to select the polygons around the seam and re-map ONLY those polygons on Channel 2. This way I can erase the seam in PS. So my stack looks like this. UVW map 2 - the map sees only the polys I have selected below)…
