Strange normal map high poly to low poly using maya
The solution, as pointed out by haikai, is that Ignore Mirrored Faces must be checked under Transfer Maps > maya common output. thanks to everyone that helped. since i modelled half the geometry while instancing it, combining the two sides of the mesh mirrors the UVs, as best is my understanding. this creates the strange… -
Baking issues
Hey all, so I have been searching the forums for the answer for this, and I'm sure it has been asked a million times before, so I hope I don't piss anyone off be reiterating this. Here is my issue, I made my high poly, then tried to transfer the rounded edges and such with Ultimapper (softimage), transfer maps (maya) and… -
Best way to bake out hipoly color information using Maya 2016.
So I am making a complicated technical mess of a car engine. I know we maya users got Transfer maps, but after 10 minutes and it only going to 1% for a 512 texture I don't have the time to see how long it will take to actually finish. Also I tried exporting to Xnormal using the xnormal file. Turning off *ignore vertex… -
Re: Hard Surface Modeling - Standard SubD Modeling VS ZBrush VS Houdini Booleans/VDB
Hello, This is a tough topic to comment on because you seem to have already decided that polymodeling these detailled helicopter parts in Zbrush is somehow a good thing, or something impressive somewhat ... even though this is objectively pretty much the most tedious way one could ever chose to tackle such a task, and by… -
Re: Mesh to displacement/height map in Maya ?
You can use Turtle or the Transfer Maps editor. Guide for Turtle: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/MayaLT-TextureBaking/files/GUID-6DD4CE1F-7693-4894-BE82-7685BDD1F557-htm.html Guide for Transfer Maps… -
Re: Displacement From ZBrush to Arnold (Maya) gets twirly when animating facial rig
This was it! The UVs were created after the blendshapes deforming while they should be done prior to any deformations/skinning. Since I couldn't drag the UV inputs via the inputs editor (it was undraggable) I simply unbound the skin and deleted the blendshapes node, and then re-imported them again (super easy if your'e… -
Re: retopologing a zbrush object
If you're finished with the sculpt and ready to bake the detail onto the final retopo'd mesh, progams like xnormal can handle the transfer. Just export the highest subdivision level or use the decimated version (if you find settings that work well for you) for the high-res target. If you want to continue sculpting on the… -
Re: Correct vertex normals for foliage?
Alright, got it working. So I basically did what Eric told me. Extrude each face on the branch, then merge the vertices together again (creating 2 faces). I then stretched a half sphere to cover up the entire tree Selecting the sphere then tree, I went Mesh>Transfer Attributes and made sure only Vertex Normals were being… -
Maya - Advanced Skeleton - Custom Controllers / Driving Systems issues
I'm trying to follow the techniques for corrective controls shown in this video from about 40 minutes to 50 minutes, but I'm having some issues. I'd love some help or solutions! https://youtu.be/w17feznCBPc?t=2414 1. When I rotate a rig control (elbow in this case) further than the degree I set when I clicked, "Pose -->… -
Re: UV sets between Maya and Max, helpppp :\
Bring in the model with the diffuse, and use transfer maps to project the diffuse onto the new (normal map) UV layout. Or use 3dsmax's Render To Texture and projection to do the same thing. As long as the models share the same space it's a snap. EDIT: Watch out for Global Super Sampling and anti alias settings they can…
