Re: 3dsmax spiral geometry relaxing advice
I would use Editable Poly, select the end cap of the helix in Polygon mode, then use Soft Selection and move/rotate the cap to match the straight piece. If you want precise loops, make a Cylinder primitive and use a Twist modifier. You can adjust the Twist center to create the Helix radius. -
Re: Need some help to remove tris on a 3D model
In Maya, you can use quadrangulate on smaller face selections rather than the full model. Large areas that were "straight" quads like a normal grid clean up nicely, just be sure to stop your selection short around 5+ sided poles where the geometry changes flow direction. -
Re: What are some of your best practices for baking normal maps?
edge split modifier, it allows you to have hard and soft edges in blender, throw the modifer on the stack, check off marked edges and uncheck angle. Than start makeing edges selections and hitting control+e and selecting mark sharp. or us a script to marke all your UV seams as sharp. -
Re: Maya - Materials For Different Renderers

Re: trouble with vertex constraints
You could try selecting the vert you want to constrain with a Mesh Select modifier and then add a Linked XForm modifier to attach your controller. However I don't have much experience with this, there might be a simpler/better way, this was just the first solution I found, and by no means stop looking for a better method. -

Re: UI Performance for 3DS Max
Its better in 2015 However. I have been using the layer pallete to organise my scenes since they forced the new (slow) scene select dialog on us. You can leave it open all the time and on 2012 its like a million times faster than the normal scene select window -
