Pretty similar in Maya: set up your curves for the arch and the profile: Go to Surfaces>Extrude>options with the curves selected (profile first): If the tube/arch is inside out, you can rotate the profile curve or go to Curves>Reverse Curve Direction. A node called nurbsTessellate has the value for the number of divisions…
You know how there's four different ways to access the curve editor? Well only one of them makes the curve editor work properly. If I click on the curve editor button on the main toolbar, it brings it up and evrything, except it doesn't show curves! It's just completely blank, and no matter how many objects I select it…
Curves>Open/Close Curve? Or holding "c" while using the move tool, you can constrain points along the curve, drag to the end so they overlap. You also wrote "curve this CV curve", so if you wanted to convert the type, open the Rebuild Curve dialog and change the degree from 1 to 3.
Hi there! I'm currently trying to recreate this object: But since I have limited time and am not that proficient with sculpting, I thought I'd try making it with curves in Maya. Which I have some experience with but not much and tend to struggle with it. I thought the best option was to make one side with the bezier curve…
Hello everybody! Im new to polycount, but I heard its the biggest online community for game developers and designers. I used Maya for many years, but now, I started using Max, so I'm new to this software. I wanted to ask you about a problem I've been having with 3ds Max animation curves: I Can't see the animation curves…
Hi, I'm in the process of rigging a snake character. I'm loosely following a tutorial from 2017 that both uses Advanced Skeleton, and is manipulating the rig using a non-linear deformer in the form of a sine wave. I have rigged this snake with an IK spline, which is supposed to have its first pass animated by point and…
Hello Joakim. That Curves tool in Photoshop is performing a mapping of the colour values. You plug in a value A and it outputs a value B. In mathematics, the name of the device that does this is a "function." In order to transfer that Curves tool to a pixel shader, you need to devise a way to input a value A and get a…
thanks guys. i had another go with the wire tool and had some success. the process is a bit slower than that maxscript but i seem to be able to do the same thing. so my process was - create sphere > select a few edges > convert edges to curves DELETE HISTORY ON CURVE (could prob rebuild the curve to contain only 3 CVs) >…
Hello I have been trying to kitbash my own brushes with curves. I am trying to make imm curve brushes like wires cables belts etc. when i try to draw them on a curve, the scale of the brush is too small in comparison to the actual brush size. When i make the brush even bigger the stroke curve points are too far apart to…
