Hi, I'm experiencing some weird flipping on joints when executing the orient constraint on a shoulder twist set-up. From what I understand, flipping happens when the source and target does not have an equal axis/joint orientation. However, in my case, they are the same hence the case being "Weird". You can see an…
Latest Update: April 8, 2015 Original Post: Hello, I modeled a BMW 6-series E63. However, it is not smooth and I feel its a mess to work with. I'm starting from scratch and will post the results here. I'm planning to model, texture, and light in marmoset. I'm new to 3ds Max and have been using edge modeling. I will post…
Hi All I have some timeout from work so would like to refresh my script library and i`m looking for recommendations from other Environment artists for scripts you couldnt work without. The few that i`ve always used over the years are... LocalTools - re-orientate axis for current selection from edges,faces,etc LayoutTools -…
Ok, i feel like a total noob asking this, but what is the shortcut key for "constrain to line/surface" or whatever it is that makes your verts/lines move along that axis. Ive been hitting it my accident a lot lately and then i cant figure out how to turn it off Edit: I should probably mention that im using 3d Studio 7
Hi I am a Student new to Maya and just have a couple questions I could not find answers for. I seemed to have lost my in view editor. It is checked in heads up display but does not pop up when I use a tool. I have also lost my little blue axis. I looked through the preferences and can not figure out what to change. They…

I'm trying to symmetrize some UVs through the specific tool (Symmetrize) in the UV editor. I want to set the symmetry axis by clicking on a central edge. At first it worked like a charm, I managed to select the edge and the axis would move accordingly. But then, at some point, it stopped responding. What I do: .: Open the…
Hello everyone :) This is my first post here on polycount, and my first piece of art. I've used mudbox for a bit impractically and decided to have a crack at modelling this weird mud puddle type thing. Really, I am just seeing what can be done in mudbox. Any critiques are welcome, and tips even more so. My questions: -How…
Uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhg... I wish I didn't have to make a new thread for this, but I couldn't find anything on the interwebs that helped me solve my... "problem". All of a sudden when I go to use my rotator tool I can't click "within" the tool to do a rotate-in-all-axis. Instead I can ONLY click on constrained axis. I've tried…
So, I work a lot with objects that are mirrored on the X axis in order to save texture space. But my meshes have this very visible seam along the center. See example: https://i.imgur.com/OZRgIqfg.jpg In this example, the mesh has a visible seam already and I haven't even baked yet. So, I've tried using custom vertex…
