Turbosmooth wont smooth.
Dearly beloved, something strange has happened inside of 3dsmax. I was using turbosmooth (as I normally do) to created my HP and prepare it for baking. I applied TS and for some odd reason it only smooths via smoothing groups. It wont let me change this option no matter what I do and it's very frustrating. Look at the… -
Smooth the input mesh of a ncloth
Hello! So as the tilte says, I want to smooth the input object of my ncloth. I'm using Input Attract so the flolds are low poly-ish and it doesnt render good, even if I smooth the output mesh. And when I smooth the Input mesh, some faces of the output mesh dissapear, leaving holes everywhere in the mesh. Thanks a lot, -
[3DSMAX] Convert Smoothing groups to Creases (Data Channel Modifier?)
Open subdiv does not support smoothing groups as input. I would like to use MatID or Smoothing groups as input and output selected edges or creases. I want to use the Data Channel modifier to convert manual created smoothing groups to creases and use those as input for the Open subdiv Modifier. Is this possible with the… -
Smoothing groups "cheker"
Hello people. I am modeling in 3ds MAX only using smoothing groups and quad chamfer. I was wondering if there is a script or something so when I am aplying different smoothing groups in complex objects, sometimes, I can't keep up with what parts of the mesh I have assigned a Smoothing group and wich not. So is there… -
Max Smoothing groups vrs Maya Hard Edges
So I have been out of the 3ds Max game for a while due to using Maya at work and now that I am getting back into Max with some personal projects I have run into a snag. In Maya you can smooth an object and harden specific edges. In Max you assign entire faces to be smooth and separate things by different smoothing groups.… -
Smoothing errors in Max
I've been working on a TF2 item and I'm nearly done with the low-poly but one thing that's preventing me from finishing it are these smoothing errors. The areas of the helmet shell that are chamfered are making hard edges in the smoothing when I want it to be a smooth surface all over. Here's the areas I'm talking about.… -
Re: Bevelling, Smoothing & Edge Padding with Normal Mapping?
the problem you're seeing here is not because of the bevel. It looks like a problem with your lowpoly UVs or smoothing groups. I bevel edges all the time and do not get this problem. Smoothing groups increase your vertex count dramatically and can waste memory. You should use them very sparingly. My working method is to… -
Are smoothing groups really necessary?
I am accustomed to use custom normals rather then smoothing groups . Those groups rather complicate modelling imo. My geo and its shading look perfectly fine after import but each time I see that "no smoothing groups in fbx file" error. Should I care? Can it create some issues and smoothing groups are really necessary? -
Re: Sculpted Dragon Head (wip)
So thought i share how the render come along. Now here is how it turned out and I will say I already got some feedback and will fix it but thought i see what else I could get. This is feedback i got. "can see you have used a grungy, much more yellow saturated texture for the teeth. I can see some height values taking… -
Normal Map - Smoothing groups / beveling edges
Hi polycomnunity, I have couple of questions but first I write what I know for better understanding problems. When we creating normal maps (in this case tangent space) for creating nice transitions in corners for illusion of beveled edge, we can have one or more smoothing groups , we can have one UV or have multiple UV…
