Re: Need UV/Unwrap Help
Glad to have helped. Read about the edge smoothing (maya) / smoothing group modifiers (max) to understand why that shading issue occurs. It's a prretty common thing -- easy to fix once you know it but understanding how the normals work is pretty important for a lot of reasons. -
Re: HIgh Poly Texure - Low Poly Texure Baking? TexTools, Xnormal or Max?
That generates vertex colour data. no uvs needed. For generating cavity/convexity data you'd be better off with a modifier like tension http://rpmanager.com/plugins/TensionMod.htm Its much faster than a script. or use XNormal. Both will generate the data with no uvs on the HP mesh -
Re: Texturing, how can i get better?
I here ya ^^ (This is my 3rd proper model so there is still pretty to learn) But if i modify my base mesh after unwrapping the UV's doesn't it mean i'm going to get plenty of errors or is there a method that i can use to conserve my UV's -
Re: Importing vertex colour from Max problem
It sounds like the vertex numbers are changing when you paint, but on reimport its just getting the positional and color data for those same vertices rather than updating the entire mesh data. Is the vertex paint modifier the very last one in your stack in max? -
Re: New Web site live for Super Kart Racing
Almost there. The base vector illustration is completed. Now to polish up with some paint scheme/decals overlaid. Have to pay special attention to this part of the illustration as I don't want to infringe by reproducing real world logos, etc. They will all have to be alternate or modified versions. -
Re: Highpoly environmental doodles
Thanks :) Everything was done in Max so far. If you are working with cylindrical shape then play around with Bend modifier (or Path Deform) and use Array (or shift+rotate if your pivot is at the centre) to duplicate and rotate your shapes. Other apps should have similar functions. -
Re: Low poly help
So I would need to model a shape of a character that isn't low poly and then in the end, I would apply different modifiers to make it low poly, right? Is there any other way that I would start modeling instantly in low poly that isn't too hard? -
Re: Problem using New from polypaint after spotlight
YES THAT IS THE LAST OPTION I WAS THINKING FOR THE SMOOTH BECUASE IS LOGICAL IF IT LOOKS FACETED SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE SMOOTH SO I PUT A SMOOTH MODIFIER AND WUALA!!! IS FIXED SO IF SOME MAX USER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THATS THE WAY TO FIX IT THANKS ANYWAY :) :):) -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge April 2014 (18)
Hey everybody, quick update here. Just wrapping up with the roofing. I wanted to use a modifier to get a little more control out of an array in 3ds Max and found this little plugin. I've found it very useful so far. http://www.mcgreed.dk/misc.asp -
Re: How do I add a spiral edge-loop to a cylinder in 3D Studio Max?
You can also use the generate topology tool - a forgotten gem from the glory days of Polyboost -that is buried in vert sub-object>polygon modeling>generate topology, within graphite. There is a spiral loop preset. You can also use the twist modifier for similar.
