Hey, guys! I finally got to the stage of UV unwrapping in my current project. First project on this new PC and also the first in Maya 2018. I've always found Maya's UV tools to be a bit convoluted and frustrating, so, par for the course here. I'm experiencing a bug where the UVs of multiple objects, in the same UV map,…
just don't upgrade unless you see a good reason in favor of doing so, i tend to only buy every 3rd or 4th version of things. i only upgraded from photoshop cs2 to cs5 last year, and did the same with maya 2009 when i upgraded to 2012 last year, and the only reason why i upgraded maya was because i was getting into python…
My script does this with something called the "XsiDuplicate" command. It basically replace the default "CTRL+D" (duplicate) command by one more aware of the current selection. - On a object : duplicate the whole object - On a face : extrude (and gives your the previous manipulator you were using) - On an edge : extrude…

*Thoughts from down the line in 2016* If I was handling this issue now in time I would have started with a nozzle cylinder with more Subdivision Axis's (Axis'? Axii?)... A nozzle cylinder with more edge loops (like 16 instead of 8). a lot of the problems I was having here were spawned because I didn't have enough geometry…
caveat: I"m horrible at likeness sculpting, actually i'm horrible at sculpting With that out the way, first thing i'd say is the corner of the lips should come out more, to line up with the pupils. its also possible that instead of that the eyes could come close togather just a smidge. Second thing: it's possible that we…
I'm currently working on hard-surface modeling in Max and am looking for tools that would assist in my workflow. Recently I stumbled upon SyncViewS' GetVertNormalsFromFace script which would be extremely and reduce the tedious activity of manually editing vertex normals one face at a time. However, I'm having trouble…
So I am doing some rigging in 3ds max 2017 and I'm noticing a particularly annoying occurrence. When using the Bone Tools rollout menu from the Animation panel I can go along working just fine. After a while however I notice that the "Bone Edit Mode" button becomes grayed out and unclickable. Closing and opening the…
