Extruding edges in local
Another question apologies i've been hammering max last few days - extruding edges via holding shift works fine in view space however it doesn't allow you to extrude edges along the local axes when using the local co-ordinate system. The gizmo just kind of flips back to view space co-ordinates momentarily although the edge… -
The best way to control EDGE bevels/chamfers in 3ds Max?
I can't find a good way to set custom chamfer weights for edges in 3ds Max. In Blender it's very easy: there is bevel weight for edges or vertices, I simply set 0.0-1.0 and that's it. In 3ds Max I found three solutions and all are bad: By crease weight - doesn't give the same results at all (it chamfers not only edges, but… -
Re: Are my edge to hard for normal mapping?
putting an FPS gun on a 2048 is very common these days. in FPS games the gun is right in your face 95% of the time, so a map that large is warranted. it may get scaled down to 1024 for consoles, but in all my time working for clients i've always been asked to texture fps weapons at 2048. tbh you're totally off-base about… -
Zbrush Brush for enhancing edges...?
HelloI have a scan of a rock. Usually the various edges of the rock are not that sharp (happens to all scans to a degree). I would like to "enhance" the edges of the rock so it would be more "sharp", like a proper edge and not as a smoothed edges (due to scan blurrines to a degree). What Zbrush brush should i use for this?… -
Maya MEL Script help needed (UV border edges)
So I'm starting to get into MEL script, spent about 20 minutes tonight trying to make this script, and for the most part it was a success, and actually easier than I thought it would be, which is nice. Script overview: For any arbitrary object, find any UV border edges, and make those all Hard Edges, while leaving all… -
Re: Proper Support Edges
If you make sure a loop goes around all the hard edges of models, they always naturally have places for loops. That is the true correct way to do it. I think insetting the sides will work here. Maybe twice is needed, since there are ngons. That will give you the loop around the edge that you need, and any messyness will be… -
How to "Paste" Edge Selection from CreaseSet modifier to editable poly?
HelloI have a problem, i want to get a selection of "outer edges" of any mesh (See picture below). Im using the CreaseSet modifier in 3ds max (2017) for this (with default settings). Its makes the selection of "outer edges" of the mesh easy as nothing. Im not aware of any other technique (maybe some plugin/script?) that… -
Supporting edges script idea
Alright, I don't any maxscript experience and haven't any real programming experience besides a some visual basic and some C but I had an idea that seems pretty simple. Basically when adding supporting edges for sub-d you just use this instead of connect edges, it would keep track of the edges and when you wanted to remove… -
Maya not smoothing edge in preview.
I have a weird issue. Maya won't smooth an edge that should be rounding due to a lack of supporting geo. It just keeps a sharp edge no matter what. The faces are connected and merged so it's not an issue of separated faces. I tried converting it instead of just looking at preview and the same thing happens. That edge just… -
Modo - Copy subd edge weights to new weight map?
OK, so a post I found on another forum got me to thinking about a way to work with Modo that I hadn't considered. You could work with edge weighting for the development of your mesh. At the end though, you'd have to add all the supporting edge loops because edge weights won't transfer to other packages. HOWEVER ... Someone…
