Re: Local symmetry breaks when rotating subtool in Zbrush
In this particular case I would use array duplicate of the same object and rotate the array instance. then you can edit your main mesh and the array duplicate will get all the details. When you move your array mesh its pivot will be always at center of your main mesh which can be annoying. Here I explain how to move the… -
Re: Suggestions for creating Ivy in Zbrush
Unfortunately u don´t know how to edit the pivot inside of maya. But maya should have something like place along a path or something.A Spline is just a line.The pivot point is just the origin of your "leaf ring" and i said place it manually to make sure that it behaves right when you place it along a path(you don´t have to… -
Re: Riggin in max 9
I feel your pain also. Skin needs a rewrite, preferably by someone who has used it day in and day out for a few months. It works best if you do skin by the book and never screw up... ever. Even then you can't expect it to work like it should. The more you use it the less likely you are to do something it doesn't like.… -
Re: [3Ds Max] Scene management and/or exporting with MatID
I've been trying additional stuff while waiting. I have discovered a couple of interesting things. OBJ is interesting to me because it specifically has the option to import as a single mesh at will (in addition to giving an option of importing as poly rather than just as a mesh). However I was having issue getting MatIDs… -
Re: Max: edge extrusion not following along Move gizmo's axis
Yeah, incredible that Max doesn't handle this simple thing by itself. You might want to install Funky Bunnies FB Sub-Obj Pivot http://www.funkybunnies3d.com/tools.php The script align a working pivot to a sub selection. Very useful. You could then select top and bottom vertice of the hole, align, then shift extrude the… -
Re: Bone Help
Did you reset your items pivot to the origin, lock it's transforms and clear it's history before binding it to the bone? The best thing to do in my opinion, load in his default weapon and position your item in the exact same spot/orientation before resetting the pivot to 0,0,0 and then bind to the bone. Someone with more… -
Re: it's over! the great game of UV-puzzling is dead!
i like physically pulling a mesh apart, mapping it, and then putting it back together with a morph target. In fact, morph targets are for gaybummers - really you should be picking pivots, rotating your elements from them, and then rotating the elements back from the same pivot points (that you've written down on a piece of… -
Zbrush > Max scale problems
Hey there, I'm having a scale issue with ZBrush which I've never encountered before. I exported a base mesh OBJ from Max, just a single mesh. Imported it in ZBrush, subdivided, sculpted, exported to OBJ. Now when I import the mesh back into Max, the scale is totally different and the pivot point has changed entirely. I… -
Re: [Newbie] Retain the Transform/Rotation Values of Object after Import?
Hi @cupsster Thanks for the answer but again I don't want to bake imported pivot. Baking imported pivot means "dummy object upon import is in 0,0,0 rather than the actual position in Maya" Anyway, I went into a rabbit hole in a reddit post here:… -
Re: Building kits in UE4? Lots and lots of pieces...
FYI, in recent times, UE4 has gotten better about FBX support. I use MODO and I know that if I set the "center" in MODO to where I want it on my mesh, that becomes the pivot when I import it into UE4. Don't have to move anything around. Might work the same with the Max pivot ... I don't have Max so I can't check but might…
