Hi, at first sorry for my english if you find any error. I´m working in a character and I´m having some troubles with the normals baking in some areas.I´ve started with the high poly sculpt, followed by the retopologized low-poly. The cloth has a sewing lines wich separates the diferent parts of the pattern, and the main…
Back again with another update to this one. This time I've: - Pushed the lighting. I liked the godray shining onto the runestone to attract the eye a bit more and thought I could get some storytelling going there with the ravens having flown in to sit menacingly on our little runestone. - Moved around some pillars and…
Hi guys, I wonder if anyone might know of an easy way to insert multiple edge loops into a mesh similar to the way the "Insert Edge Loop" tool allows in Maya? I am an experienced Maya user but I'm trying to pick up 3DS Max. If no such tool exists, I would be interested to know how experienced 3DS Max users go about…

Versus starting with a box or extruding edges and building the surface from scratch, Im using splines (too many years of Illustrator I guess). As such, the tutorials I have seen are only of limited value since they focus so much on the…
Either way works, I wouldn't shy away from ngons. I rig and skin characters all the time and ngons aren't problematic, in a lot of cases they are ideal. You do need to be mindful of how it will triangulate because that can cause issues but that is really easy to manage. Most of the time I focus on weight painting and don't…
Create a helix, decent amount of edgeloops, and then adjust the helix until it resembles the overall shape of the object you are modeling. Then, you can easily use the continuous edge loops to reduce the triangle count and flatten out the outside edge to get that flat cylinder look. I am not sure if that made sense, but…
This is driving me crazy and I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix it. I'm trying to set a hotkey to select edge loop, but don't seem to be having any success. In the Customize User Interface menu I set the group to Editable Poly, and the category is All Commands. I go down to "Select Edge Loop", which shows the hotkey…
