Help applying a spline to a cylindrical object
Not sure if the title is worded correctly, but here's my issue. I have a spline in the shape of flames from Illustrator that I need to convert into geometry to add onto a cylinder. For what I'm working on, I can't alter the original spline, except to help bend/wrap it around the cylinder. If I convert it to an Editable… -
Bake AO of multi-texture object ?
Hi ! I am looking for a way to bake ambiant occlusion maps of mesh with more than 1 textures (For PS2 -> only 128*128*16)... Xnormal, faogen and some other softs seems not doing it... I tryed with mental ray and Turtle (I use Maya), but I never could get those AO maps. Do you know a soft/plugin which can do that, or a… -
How to lower poly count around edges of this object?
I'm trying to make a shape like this: Currently I have this: I'm trying to get rid of the edges that are very close to each other on the upper right corner. To clean up the inner corners (circled), I used diamonds to allow for evenly spaced quads in the center (as I want to add more shapes), but I am unable to do the same… -
fixing vertex normals quickly between seperate objects in maya.
Hey so I have a lot of terrain that is cut up into pieces for light mapping, I need the normals between pieces to be shared to bake out correctly. ie I need to have the border edge normals have the same value between the overlapping verts. The best way I've found so far is to use the vertex normal edit tool and just shift… -
[MAYA 2017] how to move objects around during animation
like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEcoA5Fyq2g what setting needs to be checked to let you use the move tool and such during animation? This is just one example but in some other videos I see people grabbing primitives and moving them around with the move tool during animation without keying them. EDIT:… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hi @Fabi_G Thank you for your patience. I really appreciate your support. I can share the specific model if needed, although I’m not sure it’s necessary. I did some reading and experimented a bit with baking at 2x resolution and then downscaling and normalizing the normals. The results are definitely much better now. See… -
Normal map of mirrored object acting weird
Hello, i seem to be having a weird problem with the normal map of a model. It is a cat, which is made by making one half of it, then using mirrored copy and manually connecting the halves (did not use the auto merge vertices option because some weird lines appeared, so did it manually). When i bake the normal map,… -

3ds Max, aligning two faces without affecting entire object?
Sorry if the title is confusing :expressionless: I am modelling an APC in 3ds max and I'm trying to align the exhaust flange to the bodywork, here are some screenshots. I can provide more of needed. As you can see I need the exhaust flange to match the angular bodywork, how can I do this accurately without rotating… -
Mirror unique object, skeleton and skin weights (Maya)
I've imported a hand mesh skinned to a right arm skeleton ending in a neck joint (the skeleton for some reason has imported as only constraints and no bones). I'd like to mirror the hand and skeleton (constraints) around the neck joint so that I'll get a unique left hand with corresponding left arm skeleton. When I try to…
