Re: How to model a curved/twisted zip?
pathdeform world space modifier's a good one though I've always found it frustrating to work with. Tried it out and here's the max file incase you wanted to have a browse and the maxscript I used to work out how many teeth I needed is - curveLen = --insert result of curveLength heremul = curveLen / (selection[1].max.z -… -
Re: animating biped arms/legs
To rotate the arm while keeping the hand pinned in space you need to set an IK key on the arm (e.g. "Key Info" rollout > set sliding key) and then select the forearm and rotate it around its local X axis (set the mode to Local in the dropdown box at the top of the UI next to the rotate tool button while the rotate tool is… -
Re: Problem with 3ds Max 2017
Than i woud suspect the pro-Boolean being the bad guy. IMHO It's possbile that the boolean operations produce different output after a scene load due to rounding errors etc. Additionally, booleans always tend to produce stray vertices etc. which i would'nt trust being always exactly the same after the boolean operation… -
Re: skinning skin tight clothes Maya
depending on how lowpoly your mesh is you could copy paste the skinning from the component editor that + having all quads be triangulated the same way would give you the optimal result but is kind of tedious. a friend of mine wrote me a mel script once that allowed me to select two verts and than transfer the skinning from… -
Re: 3ds max connect 2 materials?
I already had this tool created for someone here at work. Paste this into a new script window and go to Tools > Evaluate All. Then you can look in the Customize menu for "Toggle Visibility" You can change the visValue near the top to whatever you want before you evaluate. macroScript PlayfulToggleVis category:"Playful… -
Re: 3d max - how to triangulate mesh
Hi Gerbeiter, this is clueless, but I'd stay away from Editable Patch. I have the bad feeling it could mess up your work. First, if you want to actually see what's the hidden Editable Poly Triangulation you can use:$.allEdges = true -- to display hidden edges$.allEdges = false -- to hide themprovided current selection $ is… -
Re: Dota 2 workshop unnoficial monthly competition - APRIL
So far, so good. Not sure why normals are screwed up on Marmoset, they're completely fine (at least apparently). I plan on painting the big eye part as some gold-ish color, not sure about the backpiece, maybe orange or something. I'm accepting suggestions. I'm having some issues compiling it, and I'm pretty sure they're… -
Re: Character LOD's
I simply use "edit mesh>merge" myself. Make sure to have "always merge for 2 vertexes" checked. Merges vertexes and uv's. I have it set to M on my keyboard, so I just select the vertexes i want to merge and hit M. Alternatively, you can use the "merge vertex tool" and set it to target vertex or center, depending on the… -
Re: Poly Cleanup/Efficiency
Suprised nobody mentioned this before.... In 3DS Max there are several tools that help you optimize, the main and most important one is if you select a loop and hit Ctrl + Backspace it deletes that edge and the vertices attached to it. Other handy tools are located in the Graphite Modeling Tools ribbon interface the two i… -
Re: lightmap combining
What sodtware are you using? If it's maya then that is no problem, in Max I'm not sure if it does it automatically after merging, but I think you have to give it a multi-sub material so different faces of the same object have different materials. Before merging I would also offset the UVS in channel one by one unit it U or…
