[Max2012] Imported objects not rendering / Losing modifiers
Scenario: Two files, same model. One is game mesh, one is high-poly. I want a normal map. Importing High-poly into Game-poly The high-polys don't render at all. I just get black.

Im trying to sculpt on a circular extrusion onto this cylinder without effecting the rest of the cylinder but dont know if im being too ambitious with Mudbox's abilities or if Im just taking the wrong steps to acheiving my goal.

Slightly confused: Baking normal maps onto a low-poly object!
At the moment I have a high-poly model. I'm beginning retopology for a low-poly version, but I've never baked normal maps before. The model doesn't have any UV's as of yet. So I'm feeling lost. Did I screw up completely by not UV mapping first? If it's any help I'm using zBrush. How do you folks create normal maps for a… -
Retopo on complex object
So I made this robot bust in a kitbash sort of way. The highpoly is as detailed as I want it, but now I want to retopologize it. model The problem is that it contains lots of holes and gaps, for example under the tubes between the neck and the shoulder, and parts underneath that are less important. (The gaps show up a lot… -

One thing I wanted to get you guys opinion on was how you would go about modeling the body here. I went in and used booleans and some… -
3dsmax: using a non-square texture on an object
Say I've got a modeled and textured asset with all the UVs fitting in the top half of 0 to 1 space. Does anyone know a simple way to tell it to use only a section of uv space? If I feed it a 512x1024 image now I believe it will take that and stretch it out to 0 to 1 space, when I really want it to sit in 0.5 to 1 space (on… -
Re: [MAYA] Arnold is not loading properly on simple exports of objects, please help
obj/mtl is a super basic format and doesn't handle any kind of advanced shaders, even Arnolds standard surface. It also uses the shading group node, not the material for naming, but that's a minor point here. If you're trying to move objects from one Maya scene to another, there are much better options- namely copy and… -
Maxscript - Spinner to control object in viewport lags. Ideas?
I'm working on a tool that uses a spinner to tweak the projection modifier cage in the view port in real time (yes, I realize that's how the projection modifier already works - bear w/ me :poly124:). Pretty much trying to mimic the same spinner in the command panel of the projection mod. Mine however lags like crazy and…
