Re: rant on: stupid UVW unwrap
sigh... yea I have it all wrong. The method I've been using for the last 2 years, probably about 60 times a week is totally broken and doesn't work. Good thing the unwrap gnomes burn the midnight oil while I'm gone... Or You didn't quite get the method, totally understandable I didn't cover it very clearly. Who said… -
Re: Why is triangle used instead of Quad?
To add to what's already been said and hopefully clarify a few things: there's a number of different reasons why an artist would choose to use a triangle instead of a quad when creating an arch. The relevance of any specific answer really depends on the model's intended use and the desired outcome for the project. Looking… -
Tutorials for cleaning up meshes for subd modeling
I'm trying to learn some hard edge sub-d high poly modeling (mechanical objects). And I was wondering if there are any good tutorials for cleaning up meshes. I hope the following isn't too noobish. I want to cut a hole in my mesh (just making it a square for example ease). But I don't know how to keep the form without… -

Blender-UV Display in uv/image editor issue
I am having this issue in Blender uv image editor. Is there a way to display uvs in the editor as I select edges and vertices without using the ''keep uv and edit mode selection in sync''. The problem with this mode is that if I want to move a vertex or an edge, the other edge/vertex moves with it. So How can I display… -
Re: What Are Maya Shelf Must-Haves? (semi-Maya n00b)
I find it very handy to have slide edgeloop and collapse edge there. Also the delete edge/vertex tool so that deleting edges doesn't leave any floating verts. I have a section of "selection" buttons to quickly switch selecting edgeloops, edge rings, border edges etc as well. Loads more but those spring to mind as useful!… -
Re: Why do my normals look bad in CE3? No smooth transition.
Huh? Is there a guide I can read on smoothing edges. I didnt know you dont smooth when the edges are >90 degrees. And yes I exported with the crytiff plugin and correct preset. Actually I just did an -> average normals, on certain faces and exported that into ce3. It seems only soften edge or harden edge works in ce3… -
Re: Sci-Fi Character WIP
@Nuclear Angel : Sure man anytime! Yea, its pretty much the same workflow in Modo as max/maya. I'm originally a Max user. The main place where the workflow differs in Modo is when you use the "smooth shader": "Rounded edge width" workflow, that Tor Frick pretty much made known to the 3d community. If your interested in… -
Re: Newbie needs help with 3DS Max!
It jumps? odd, I think these 3d programs are designed to pivot around a selected object or by the world space by default ... or most recent position ... so i think you need to select something and click on the option for recentering your viewport nav thing ... sorry this isnt very concise, its actually been a while since… -
Looking for advice on hand modeling
Hello everyone and thank you for reading. I have been following James Taylor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spi4lGxnMZg character modeling tutorial on youtube. I like his workflow and I find it useful for buidling a character's basemesh for sculpting. I am practicing everyday and I am trying to memorise the whole process…
