Re: Need help with something that is supposed to be easy
In maya I would have the entire obect selected and then extrude. Not sure how object/component selection works in max but basically you want to extrude all the faces at the same time. If you extrude in the negative direction you'll have to reverse your normals afterwards. -
Re: Help needed with Perceived Pixel Density shader
Hey guys! Sorry if I use the wrong terminology. I'm still figuring this out so I might be off on things. @Eric Chadwick Well I'm not writing for a particular engine since I haven't started building yet. But it will most likely be Unity since I'm most familiar with that one. The link you showed me unfortunately does not fix… -
Re: Portfolio Critique For Student 3D Artist
Focusing on the room scene in particular: It looks like you were generally aiming for a low polygon count as if the scene is meant to be for a video game, yet certain subjects such as the sheets (posters?) on the walls have way more polygons than they should. Then delete it and try again. Why are you leaving in something… -
Maya 2013 weird obj/sub-obj selection
Greetings everyone! I spent last week on studying Maya, everything is perfect but there is one thing that drives me crazy!

Re: [HELP] Is projecting all in Zbrush same idea as baking normal maps?

When importing object from zbrush to maya, do people usually delete the base mesh after they're done retopoloy? Whenever I click on the object it select the original object(the one… -
Re: Pass with an Overlap?
@Aniceto & Slum: That coloured material ID pass is useful. @Cryrid: I'm not sure how to do that but I think it may be the answer to my next question. @Perma: Thanks a lot for the image. Yeah, I think I have an inbuilt thing not to read instruction sheets :) @Bbob: That's the prob I was having with the M/S/R material; as… -
Re: Animating using matinee and lighting
Hey Zac! You can actually bake shadows down on movers, but it would produce awful results on your windmill. The shadows would spin around on your mesh and look silly. Here's some check boxes to take a look at when you are dealing with dynamic objects: Use precomputed shadows: off This'll bake lights onto your object.… -
Re: [WIP] Industrial Pump
The wear and chipping of paint is very random. The rust is uniform across the model. There should be a difference between rust spots (ie. places where rust has eaten the underlying metal and the paint above has chipped away) and paint wear (ie an area that is very exposed to rubbing and scratching with other objects). If… -
Re: Help MoP with Maya 2008!
hmmmm..... Been struggling to get anything workable together, I came up with : - string $objectList[] = `ls -o`; select -visible $objectList ; FrameSelected; fitPanel -selected; which works, but only with objects that are hidden via CTRL + H, the script stores a list of all objects within the scene, then it filters them by…
