Re: maya hotkey questions! (from 3ds max & SI user)
2) You could probably use extrude, in Maya 2012 there is a thickness option, in previous versions you can go into your channel info and modify the Z Translate for the same sort of effect. 5) Tool Settings of Translate/Rotate/Scale Tools have these options. 6) Select face and then go to the Select Menu - Convert Selection -… -
Re: in which mirrored side do you work
I almost never work with symmetry on, though I mirror stuff a lot. The actual world direction doesn't matter too much as it's easy to mirror across any axis (x, y, z, user defined) in Modo. That said, I usually have the model/viewport situated so that I seem to be working with the "left" side of a model. -
Re: Plant/vegetation physics
I've experimented with that in UE4 and it does work. There's some issues like it doesn't work with the foliage tool, and performance on my old rig (i7 2600, 16gb ram, gtx 570) was horrible. That said if you created a blueprint that placed a bunch of grasses that aligned to objects on the z-axis, with a strong lod distance… -
Re: Low Poly stylized landscapes
yeah that sounds about right for the Maya equivalent. in xsi itll bring up a window with a slider for X Z and Y values which are super helpful for getting the right look. you can also link it up with a weight map so you can paint where you want the geo to randomize and have the ability to blend it into a smoother surface. -
Re: M37 Shotgun - Need help
Tried this, seem like it only snaps to either the X Y or Z axis. The faces I want to make planar are on an angle.

Re: Diamant Modeling Tools Alpha 1.0 (Formally Diamant UV) release!
Many thanks for this. So as I understand it so far we get the sculpting abilities of Z brush with the Mesh sculpt, The manual UV seams found in Maya Bonus Tools, and I believe Max, and the functionality to retopologize found in Topogun all in one. Awesome. But I did get my custom shelf erased "add" to shelf was actually… -

Re: Access Emissive and other channels trought PP Material?
For the noise, you can use world position x-y-z and make a manual world aligned noise by using the noise node with optimized settings (fast gradient, 1-2 iterations, and plane projecting it on the 3 axes, then blending them like you would do in a standard world aligned texture function. This should not move with the camera. -
Re: New Approach to Handpainted Environments
Nice video! @elementrix Are you painting on flat uvs in CS or are you painting on the 3D model in CS? @bounchfx Mudbux has paint layers that function just like Photoshop (normal, screen, multiply, etc.) And getting your stuff into CS and then updating back and forth is super EZ. I personally still prefer Mudbux for… -
Re: swizzle coordinates in marmoset
Hi, EarthQuake said Marmoset follows Maya standards, which I'd like to know. In my experience it works with plain X+ Y+ Z+. I may be wrong but results seem right. I hope someone can confirm. I usually bake with every axis positive, then use the "Flip green channel" checker in 3ds Max.
