Getting the right scale across multiple apps
I'm using (and prefer) Modo, but I have a project that requires I export from Maya. What is the right equation to get Maya to recognize my Modo FBX files at the right scale. I've tried the typical x100 and x.01 but it must be something else. I've also set both of the in-app units to "inches". Anybody know the answer to… -
Re: Feedback from those who know about 3D art.
You asked for it. Remember you can also ignore this post. If you did not appreciate the response. Long story short; its very cold & mechanical but i don't see much cuteness & fun factor, (for me). Think a stylized approach to this kind of design would've spoken louder than a startwars rolling bot (one of the many they seem… -
Is the low poly getting baked? Normal map question.
This is with lo and hi poly together (lo in pink): here with the cage: and here is that section in the baked normal map: To me it looks like the protruding low poly is getting baked too. When setting up the projection, I select PICK and select only high poly objects. Any thoughts? -

Re: Toolbag 2 is on Steam! | Marmoset Toolbag 2 | News & Announcements
Thanks for all the love guys! Its great to see so much excellent art. Im going to try to respond to all the questions here, if I miss something, just let me know. You can load your diffuse map into the albedo slot. This is really just a terminology change, as albedo is a more physically accurate term. Animated content… -
Re: Maxscript "walkcycle_Creator" WIP
Yeah....................i see what you mean which is really weird. For some reason even when your TijdSpinner has a value of 12 by default it still reads as zero through the listener. Just have this line of code run first before you set your global variables to fix this bug.TijdSpinner.value = 12 Now if you looking for… -
Re: Normal Map - Seams - I'm getting to old for this grinding diarrhea
Marmoset isn't properly synced to anything unfortunately, baking in maya and then doing "lock normals" before export may be the closest bet for marmoset display as well as setting hard edges to uv seams helps. Also make sure to export your model with the Maya plugin, using OBJ may be less predictable. Really, to get a… -
Re: [WIP] Inca-Inspired Cave Ruins
Hey! Great step to start posting online. It's a really good habit to have since you'll learn to communicate about your work, making nice screenshots (even the WIP ones!) and getting feedback :+1: This is a great start so far! Right now it could really help to flesh out your meshes and blockout so you can see how the scene… -
Re: Driving to a studio to apply in person - Good idea, bad idea?
Do a lot of studios in the US not have reception areas? I was going to say I don't see the harm in it but then I read the replies. I've actually walked into a studio before to hand in an application for two reasons. Firstly, I like to know my application has actually arrived on the desk of the person who should see it (and… -
Handy things to know! that I dont know yet. (Help Maya)
Hey, got a few questions about Maya. 1: array (or I think this is the correct name.) for example: I made a book and now I want to put it in a array so that it randomizes the x for every new book on the shelf. (I have seen a similar option available for particles.) 2: Face normal placement If I grab a object I want to be…
