Re: Smoothing With Modo
You misunderstand me. I never said anything about smoothing by UV seams for lowpoly/baking. I said the concept of assigning hard/soft edges by a polygonal selection is dumb. Example: Cylinders where one of the side edges must be hard. Simple with edge selection; not so much with polygonal selection. Of course there's not… -
Re: Photoshop CS6 (beta out)
I don't know if you've found out already (or if it's the thing you're looking for) but: from CS4 to CS5 they've changed the shotcuts. Alt-RMB changes the size and hadness of your brush tip Alt-Shift-RMB brings up the color picker. When selecting a color with Alt-Shift-RMB you might want to change to the hue slider without… -
Re: UV sets between Maya and Max, helpppp :\
why on earth do you want to maintain 2 uv channels? why not use 1 layout for both models. converting maps from 1 to another is possible and it reduced the complexity of what you are trying to do. Anywho! You can Copy and Paste UV's in max just fine, providing you haven't changed your vertex indexes. Import the OBJ(as an… -
Re: MAX. Need help with UVs. Noob.
There are a bunch of ways to unwrap this but here is the most straightforward way I could think of. I agree with the help file that peel is best suited for organic shapes and even then I tend to ignore it and planar map the whole thing, create seams and relax chunks. Apply symmetry to get the full sword.* Turn on select by… -
Re: Cinema 4d anyone?
Depends of what kind of precision you need, there are two ways to do that with the Knife Tool. 1) While in Loop Mode press SHIFT to lock the cut, is it working when you can't move the cut, at this point, you can insert a % value in the Offset box. 2) You want to make a loop cut (or multiple) at n cm from a point/edge;… -
Re: [blender] multiple armature + constraint problem
Is the highlighted item a *separate* Armature object or a *bone* within the characters Armature? If it is, try this; 1) POSE mode: create a 'reset' pose for the character and place the cursor where the weapon should be (snap to 'weapon_mount' for example) 2) POSE/EDIT mode: once reset snap the weapon to that location… -
Re: Blender questions
I actually tried unpining them a few times and it didn't work, but after re-pinning the already pinned verts, and then unpinning it worked. Strange. Few new questions: Is their a way to merge selected components to their center with a tolerance value? Remove Doubles give a tolerance slider but merges to the first component… -
Re: MODO - UV from Smoothing group
Should be, in a sort of round-about way, if you get the latest version of my kit (v2.5) I've added a "Convert to Hard Edges" button (middle, bottom row). Soo.... Run that, but make sure "Remove Smoothing Groups" is unchecked when it pops up to ask you, otherwise it'll remove all your smoothing groups after it's converted… -
Re: 3dsmax navigation issues.
Frick, i wrote out a lengthy useful post and then PC decided to crap out. Anyways, MightyPea, to summarize: while yes i have been jaded by working with very stubborn maya users in the past, I assure that this was not the tone in my post. Now for scumworks, hopefully these different workflows will help you out. For the… -
Re: Next gen rigging separte meshes
I can't speak for Maya, but in Max you can apply skin or Physique(yuck) to all the meshes that make up your character. It makes it kind of hard to work with as each piece will have its own individual skin modifier requiring more clicks when you jump from piece to piece. It depends on the engine if it will allow you to have…
