Need opinions on round edge normal baking workflow
Hi all, I have been following quite tiring workflow to get a nice round edge look on low poll meshes for game assets but not sure if this can be improved or if I'm doing some unnecessary work. Well, to get a seamless baking, I separate all hard edges on lowpoly model on Maya and then bake high poly model into lowpoly in… -
Maya - supporting edges to make high poly result in nasty bakes
Hello everyone. I am working on what will eventually become a fuel-cell. I am modeling in Maya, and baking in xNormal. I have Zbrush, and I am moderately OK with it, but I am a complete amature with the polygonal modeling mode - I'd rather just use Maya, but I am starting to think I need to learn it in Zbrush as well.… -
Maya edge selection issue [Solved]
I'm following along with a tutorial and I must have hit some button and now it's seriously hindering my ability to follow along. When i try to select and edge the target edge turns green and the edges next to it turn red, when i modify the target edge the others react as well. I know its some sort of group modify tool or… -
Solved: Issue with edge masking
Hello, I'm having a bit of a trouble, when I try to use one of the masks for edge wear in 2.0, there are some issues on rounded objects, that were never there in 1.8. Here's what I'm talking about: I can't find a good preset that gives me straight edge wear (straight running along the low poly edges)...and I can't pinpoint… -
Tips for baking bevel onto hard edges?
Hi, I am working on a project where we are limited by polycount budget (because it's a Sims like builder game, we need to be conservative with polycount and texture). And one thing I am doing, is to use hard edge on models to maintain silhouette, and use a higher poly model to bake smaller bevels onto normal maps. For… -
3dsmax - Edge moving in EPoly causes crash!?
Right, this is an intensely annoying bug which only appeared in the last week or so. I haven't installed any new plugins or software between when it was working fine and now, so I highly doubt it's that, and I can't think of anything that's changed to bring this bug about. Basically I can do anything to a selected edge in… -
Newbish Maya question - Low poly meshes and Face edges
Hey guys, so I have a buddy here at work who's a rigger/animator and works in Max. Our studio mainly uses Maya (which is what I also use,) but he's requested that since we're working with very low poly meshes, I tweak some of the 'face edges' to allow for better deformation when animating, (the dotted edges inside a face,… -
Re: UV seam - edge selection, how, max
sorry about that, I was not behind a computer - I had a similar trick used in some related issue with my texTools somewhere. But it seems that it does not contract the selection towards the outer edges the way you would usually expect it. Anyway since I like you I wrote a script for you- its not fast but it should do the… -
Does Maya allow multi-cut on symmetry edge?
I have been looking at a tutorial from Autodesk Japan and found it was using multi-cut tool with symmetry enabled. Specially starting from the symmetry edge. When I try to do it, the symmetry edge loop prevents me from starting on it (showing a disabled cursor), starting from anywhere else is fine. Has Maya changed in… -
ROUND SHAPES WITH HARD EDGES.....where do I put the support lines?
Hi guys. So, this has been an issue I have been avoiding for a while now. Everytime I create an object that has a combination of curves and straight edges, I have a whole world of trouble getting the hard edges I want to not effect the smoothness of the rounded areas. A picture is the best description:) where do I put the…
