Re: Normal Map Question
Hi there, apologies for the late response, I know how frustrating it can be to get answers from forums when people reply like half a day later haha. Right, so in Xnormal , you can actually import a separate cage file into the program or you can quite easily generate a cage file in the program itself. --- In regards to… -
Re: Workshop #3 - Havok
I totally agree with the shell'd planes, but if you want to try a spline approach, I would use a Loft object, rather than a sweep (Max's rail extrude) - a shape like that will tend to twist the extrusion path in max :( If you use Loft, you can add profile segments where it twists, and manually crank them back into… -
Re: .-| Week 8 - The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
Figured out the topology thanks Jurassic, I am certain the proportions are correct I used the pdf reference images to verify. Topology Layout Green lines: Lines of symmetry Blue Line: Topology (8 sided cylinder) Yellow (The small extrusion coming out) Pink: Areas to extruded out from Black/Gray: The Pipes Black Sides: The… -
Re: From Maya to Max
thats weird, I have searched around on how to extrude splines without extruding the sides as it does when using the extrude button on a spline, and there are alot of posts referring to use shift drag, or maybe because i said spline and not edge? I have a hard time believing everyone push the extrude button to extrude then… -
Move/Scale Faces Along Normals
There seems to be no way to move faces along the face normal in ZBrush (A simple alt + S in blender. This is essential because when I extrude something, how do I change the extrusion depth without scaling/moving along normals. And yes the face move tool has move along normals. But when I have polygroup on, it moves all the… -
How to create a column out of edges?
hello, i use 3ds max. so, to what i need help with.. i had an extruded wall [a box] and wanted to make windows on 3 sides [the front, the left and the right]. to achieve this, i extruded the window-area on each side. because i extruded areas on the 3 sides, these areas are now connected.. i know it sounds strange, so i… -
Re: Sketchbook: Frank Polygon
Subdivision sketch: Hotdog. This is a hotdog on a bun. It's very easy to make using basic subdivision modeling. Here's how to create one of your own: -Insert a cylinder capped with a quad hemisphere and mirror the mesh. -Add loop cuts to evenly space the decorative slices. -Randomize the decorative slices with a series of… -
Creating diagonal extrusions
Hey all, I have been rattling my brain trying to figure out how to go about making a red diagonal lines and wanted to see if maybe any of yall had any suggestions. I am using 3ds max for modeling and zbrush for sculpting. I will attach a clip of the concept i am working from: -
Re: Hardsurface artists: The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way...
Maya does have an "edit poly" type workflow, but its not very obvious and awkward to set up maya creates "polyTweak" nodes each time you edit your mesh, say you extrude a face, move the some vertices, then extrude another face.. your history will look like this: polyExtrudeFace1 polyTweak1 polyExtrudeFace2 if you then… -
Re: max NOT vs maya (a positive thread to try and make life as a polygamist better)
Why can't maya have the free-form transform manipulator tool like max Why can't maya mirror cut a mirror cut object and keep it live like max Why can't maya have a simpler way of cutting and pasting live poly extrusions along splines like max Why can't maya have extrude edge along spline follow the curvature of the spline…
