Re: Max won't mirror my imported .obj mesh
Hi, first, you can try to convert your Editable Mesh to Editable Poly and back, to see if it is a mesh problem, at each conversion the geometry database is rebuilt and some errors could be fixed. Then apply the Modifier. Second, you can use the Symmetry modifier, then collapse the stack, rather than the Mirror with copy.… -
Re: Maya or Max for Environmental Modeling
I can imagine the 1st diss for epic rap battle MAX:Yo MAYA, Sukah Cant Do shit proper so You need a Tech artist to modify yah! Bitch I got Them Modifiers! MAYA: Bitch please , Ever see a movie animated in yah? This is why Pixar will never love yah! Go home and Cry to your mom , and while your at it tell her to teach you… -
Re: Modelling bandages
Yes you can export with modifiers such as shell or turbosmooth. But you'll want to make sure you uncheck isoline display in turbosmooth so you export proper subdivided geometry. With the shell modifier, i've used that to create wraps before, but would extrude plans around my object, then shell it, collapse and remove the… -
Re: polys turn black from simple adjustments
export the mesh as an .obj file, UNCHECK the box that says "normals" within the "geometry" section. then re-import the object, and you can apply smoothing groups as normal. i've had this issue too, if i've used the 3point quality mode modifier on a mesh, but then needed to change the mesh later. i'm sure i've had it in the… -
Re: Best way to model a net???
I don't know which package you use, but in Blender you can model the net using only edges: And then apply a Skin Modifier to it to add an actual mesh with clean topology that follows the edges: You can fin the documentation for it here. If you use something else other than Blender, there's probably something similar in… -
Re: Modo 10.2 Features Revealed
Meshfusion is now absolutely wonderful, the modifier stack is still really simple when compared to 3ds/houdini/C4d especially in it's implementation with ghosting required for manipulation. I am going to continue using the trial until it's over but have already had several crashes in a fairly simple scene. (I realize that… -
Re: symetrizing a mesh
For max. http://www.rpmanager.com/plugins/Transmographier.htm What you meen is called TOPOLOGICAL symmetry - I.e. the topology on both sides of the mesh is identical, but not the actual positions of the vertices. Symmetry modifier sucks if you need to symmetrize an already unwrapped or even skinned mesh. Without it you… -
Re: Models vs meshes
As Ive always understood it, they are elements if they are separate from the primary mesh but still exist within the modifiable structure of the original mesh. If they are separate and require a unique modifier then they are objects. Mesh is a general term referring to the complex structure of vertices and edges.… -
Re: " Puppetshop" problem in Max
Physique is dated and a old relict back from the character studio plugin days (like max 2 ,3). It has not been updated for ages whereas the skin modifier had a recent big update in Max 8 and probably some fixes in between. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here. The skin modifier has a better support and all in all… -
Re: Blended normals hack for fake SSS
Chronic> Ah, thank you for confirming this with the modified diffuse model. I was trying to compare with my shading solution and I could not figure out how you got that result by just modifying blended normals. Either way, I think it works fine. It's all a matter of tweaking it to a nice level but not too far. I agree that…
