I use mostly customized max hotkeys - I pulled this section out you can use. 1) Run the macros 2) Set rRemove under category Robot to a hotkey It doesn't do the exact same as the max remove -- It won't remove a vert from an edge if the angle around it is < 170 degrees. To change the degree number, change the section in red…
- The quickest way to make sure normals are pointing the right way is to turn "Face Orientation" on in the Geometry > Show Overlays menu of the viewport in Blender. It'll highlight anything flipped in red. I'm under the impression the original tires have flipped normals, so when you flip the mirrored tires to match them…

All smoothing groups do is decide how the normals along edges will smooth, hard or soft. If these polys are in this group and its neighbors are in another then the edge between them is hard/broken. If they share groups then its soft/unbroken. You can have a bunch of broken edges with only two groups just by assigning every…
I think that UE4 only checks UV boundaries in the first UV set. Don't remember where I saw it, but it was somewhere in there. I'd have to do some serious testing to see whether this is actually a problem, and I have a pretty strong hunch that it's not. There are definitely still problems if you save the smoothing data, I…
Ah, what I did was I saved out my texture as a PSD at the resolution I wanted to work with. I then opened up a new blank document at that same resolution. I imported the texture into the middle of the screen, then changed the canvas size so that I had room enough to fit one more of of the texture on each side, creating an…
it's pretty easy to code this with tangent-space normal maps. basic concept: save every pixel in to a 2D Array with it's current R and G (and B) Value (B will not change). R and G convert to a vector of 3 dimensions (while only 2 have a value, which is x for red and y for green and z is defined as following) with angle in…
I love things like these, I just tried rt_break and its kinda cool, although I very rarely break vertices. I like the create shape from border and the detach to element without a popup window asking if you want to detach to element or object each time. It doesnt seem to do anything in edge mode though, I replaced the edge…
I had some problems with the script posted above, It seemed to give me some incorrect results on more complex models. I decided to have a go at it, so here's my take. Basically I build a list of all the UV islands using a UV modifier, then set the auto smooth threshold to 180 and run auto smooth on each island. I'll post…
Hi everyone, I have a 3 step process (3 Level Sequences) that I want to program Next and Previous buttons to play through. I have this working fine in a test scene, see the attached images. Basically the buttons check what my "Chapter" variable is at and play that animation, then update the Chapter value (considering it…
