Re: Particle questions
Ok so you got a material that offsets the vertices, on a particle, thus the particle doesn't understand the vertices are not outside the bounds? Correct? It is not the best for performance, but can't you simply set a huge bounding box on those particles then? So big that it will never be occluded? Easier than changing the… -
Re: JHS
@Stromberg: I planned to switch between several parts of the mech, so i thought it would be good to have them in different maps. Maybe i will bring them together later. I tried but the strange is the normal map has nothing to do with this effect, even without normalmap it shows the radialgradient. Something is going wrong… -
Re: Low Poly Lettering
It is so painful to use the text tool in Maya lol. I can't begin to guess why it hasn't been upgraded since so many versions ago. There's definitely no magic trick though, but you'll sweat for it ahah I usually get the text I need as a polysurface, get into edge mode and select all the edges of a letter and delete them.… -
Re: How can i revert a chamferd edge?
1) Select a vertical edge in the newly chamfered section, click ring, click collapse. Probably need to click each vertical edge and make planar to straighten them out as it might slope the sides. Doing it this way is most friendly to your UV's, unlike welding which is time consuming and destructive to UV's. 2) Symmetry on… -
Re: Maya to Max
lol, so we can select a whole section and move/scale/rotate it with one selection drag. But thats why theres an option box for it Give max a little time and you'll start to like it more. Frankly, I only use a couple tools when I model. I shift drag edges to extrude edges. I target weld vertices. I collapse vertices. I cut… -
Re: snail shell
Well, seems like I must be pretty bored... Anyway, here is my attempt, pretty similar to MoPs idea: (Using 3dsmax, also ) Use Skew and Bend on a box in order to get something similar to the leftmost object. Delete all but the front faces ,(Could propably have used a plane all along ), and weld vertices. Fill up the centre… -
Re: Gothic Knight
Looking better....what you will want to do though is move the vertices to follow the flow of the body. Example would be his back vertices---they could be moved down, and probably forward a bit more to give the crevice created from the shoulder blades. The verts could also be pulled back in his head to give a more round… -
Re: maxscript that exports UV as selection into photoshop
made another script. this one exports the UVs as vectors into photoshop. it doesn't work on objects with more than 1000 polygons though, photoshop just throws an error. trying to figure out how to work around this currently: (if selection.count > 0 then(output_file = createfile "C:UVWscript.js"docusize =… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | May - June (66)
You're doing a great job capturing the feel of the buildings from the concept. :) I think the issue you mentioned about the buildings needing to be larger points to something about the way the concept is presented, as opposed to the actual scale of the buildings. Your composition is horizontal, but the concept is… -
Re: skinning skin tight clothes Maya
Awe!! Its all good! At least i know its not an uncommon issue I'm having here! I've been playing with the copy Sking weight tool and im starting to see some results, it seams to work perfect on vertexes that are right on top of each other but it starts getting freaky when it gets to parts of the model that aren't meant to…
