Maya Grid Hides Geometry & Components
I haven't modeled for many years and I've got Maya LT and I'm having a hard time figuring out why the grid obscures my work. It's not camera translation/clipping. I can still marquee select geometry and components when they're not visible. In the screenshot I used the front camera viewport to select all the geometry but… -
Two questions regarding Maya mechanics.
Hey! As a native 3ds max user heavily under the influence of said applications mechanics, I have a question regarding a function I want to exploit in Maya. The problem revolves around being able to select multiple edge rings at once and applying an edge split (Maya). In 3ds max, the action can be achieved by selecting the… -
Re: Unable to remove faceting
Odd! I re-read your post and you mentioned switching to smooth preview and you still get faceting. Generally, everything in the smooth preview should be smooth with no obvious pinching or dark patches. If this is happening then it's a problem with the geometry of the model more than it is with the edge normals. Select your… -
Re: Character WIPs
Fred2303: Thanks man! theslingshot: Cheers. Yea I was trying to get that balance with the pedestal without it being too distracting. garriola83: Thanks.

Re: Blender's objects & shading
Unwrapping in Blender guide: The keyboard controls are identical to the 3D viewport. CTRL-tab to switch selection mode, right click to select, G/R/S to move/rotate/scale, X/Y/Z/shift to lock to axes, ctrl to snap. All of your auto stuff is in on the of the menus at the bottom of the 2D viewport. However, the best way to… -
Most hated hotkey
You know the one, the key you accidentally hit in that software you use all the time that messes everything up. The space bar in 3ds max or accidentally switching the top "top" viewport because you accidentally hit a key. Using E and R in max and having to remind yourself that softimage uses X and C. Pressing Q to switch… -

Re: Weird shading on model, Topology to blame or what? (blender or max same deal)
Or even better, change the angle of Auto Smooth to 180 degrees and mark your sharp edges manually. That way you have a full control of smoothing groups in your low poly mesh. One more benefit: Once you're done with your sharp edges and you'd like to UV unwrap your mesh, you can quickly select all of your sharp edges with… -
Re: I can't remember how to unwrap stuff in MAx anymore :(
There are quite a few ways to unwrap in max but its hard to point you in a direction without knowing what kind of objects or the workflow you used in Modo. You can use peel mode to actively relax the model then select and break edges to relieve tension as it relaxes. You can select faces (often with angle select turned…
