That is what was confusing me, I know that when an object has its scale changed outside of sub-object mode many operations will not work properly. However in my examples I did not scale them, I just created a primitive, converted it to editable poly without making any changes to it and then extruded a few faces and added…
not a blender user but those things should all work via fbx with the possible exceptions of: - non uniform scaling - where you have a non-orthogonal transform matrix. eg. you rotated the object off axis and then scaled it non-uniformly in world space (or it's parent space) it's most likely that unreal is upset about what…
It snowed, work closed down for the day so in between building snow forts with my daughter and working remotely from home I worked on this scene a bit. I mostly created the export script I talked about earlier. What it does: Records the objects current position. Moves it to 0 0 0. Triangulates the model by adding a turn to…
Oh I didn't read "next to" in your post. I thought you wanted to move one object to the same position of another, not align it to one of its extremes. In that case snaps would work pretty well. Regular align would also work with it set to Min/Max. It would align the current object to the bounding box of the target object.…
I did see some very old posts regarding this issue and was hoping there had been a change since then. guess not. I'm starting to use wide or long textures for materials more often and it seems super odd that there isnt a stock solution for this. I did have to make a new reference object, which turned out to be pretty…
Yeah, you're right. The timer actually redundant as I commented the first line and nothing happen, the code still works like what I expected. I don't quite understand your point with the "intersect" though, the original code was for making a list of object under the mouse cursor, hence return the array of objects like what…
Hey haiddasalami! Cool idea, this is definitely useful for working with UDK. :) One thing I might suggest is that you investigate Sets with custom attributes on them (eg. export path) so that if the user exports a selection of multiple objects to a specific path/filename, you then store those objects in a new Set, name the…
Even still, you're wasting a -lot- of triangles. Bricks should not be chamfered, broken bricks and cinderblocks have a lot of redundant loops, the center loop of the tire doesn't contribute enough to the silhouette to exist and the inside can be much sparser too. In total this prop is ~5k triangles... far too much for some…
I've imported an OBJ object into Zbrush (pre UV unwrapped) and I understand now that OBJ files don't transfer UV's to Zbrush? So I was trying to import a Maya ASCII file for the same object to transfer over the sculpted detail onto it and then export. When I import it into tools in Zbrush, it imports one part of the file?…
Don't know if this is the right forum for this but this caused some confusion for me atleast. It is an error in the Helpfile that is the cause of confusion. Under the helpsection on the Characterize tab. The section about reference "Reference While you do not need a Reference object during the mapping process, this slot…
