3DS Max - Set working pivot to Object?
Hey Guys, I've been using Maya at work for the last couple of years and have decided to start toying around with Max again at home. If you have an object on some strange angle and it has lost its transforms/Xforms, what is the fastest way to recover the correct pivot alignment permanently? I can quickly setup a working… -
Re: Mech: Individually animatable Modular sections,
Ok. This project has changed a bit now since last time i posted. The original aim is now not complex or needed enough for it to be considered useful for a thesis. However, the new aim still uses a mech character, but will be a much more focused project. For the aim i intend to have a mech character with its two arms able… -
Re: Shape of the model is different when imported to 3.04
Transformations can be applied to both groups and their objects. Check to ensure all transformations are set to 0 in Marmoset Toolbag. Because transformation information is stored with the object reference (afaik) , reimporting will not correct the problem, either try deleting everything and the reimporting it, or fixing… -
Transferring animation between CAT rigs
Got a quick question, hopefully the solution is simple. I did it before with Biped, but can't seem to make it work with CAT. So basically I have one character all rigged up in CAT and animated. Now a simple change was done to the rig to add a couple extra bones to it. I want to transfer the animations from the old animated… -
Re: Biped Keyframe Per Frame when saving BIPs
Sure no problem at all, glad its working! I found another way to fix it, scale might not be an issue after all. It looks like the dive.bip file was saved out with quaternion curves and the biped in the scene was set to Eular. Changing the scene biped to quaternion before or after loading the dive.bip file seems to fix the… -
Re: hair techniques
[ QUOTE ] ... work around sorting issues with mulitple draw culls ... they number the layers of hair planes in the order that they will sort ... [/ QUOTE ] Thanks arshlevon. Yeah, this is the way we do it too. Usually we tell the exporter how many and which chunks of hair to divide the surface into. Then a particular… -
m2u - development and feedback
Hi there, this is the first beta-release, so there may still be a lot of bugs, limitations and only a basic amount of features ;) But since it allows you to place at least existing objects with the tools of maya, it may be useful to some of you, so we release a first version. I created this thread so we have a clean spot… -
Re: Maya 2017Blend Shapes effects rig even when the blend shape node is underneath skin cluster (inputs)
Normally I'd guess that you have weird transforms or frozen transforms on your blend shape source. You could try using match transforms in that case. But it looks more like it's sliding along one of the head bones, were transforms frozen before you skinned it? Head mesh as a child of a head bone? -
Re: Workflow question: generating height/normal before Substance
I sorta agree about manual craftsmanship , Designer included . Every time I do a material in Designer I know they are paying me for gaps and mistakes of scanning contractors . And often I just take my own camera at weekends. Feel myself a camera replacement. It's so weird . Yet we are discussing extracting material id… -
Re: Transfer Uvmap from a model to another 3dsmax?
Try projection modifier. it's one of its functions. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/3DSMax-Modifiers/files/GUID-A529E28F-4444-4E90-BBAD-7E2DF108479C-htm.html?us_oa=forums-us&us_si=0dd04406-1698-4866-88d4-6151e2a35db6&us_st=projection%20modifier Works pretty…
