Re: Selecting uv island from poly - 3DSMax
You can use this script. It's pretty old since I made it around Max v6 or v7 in 2004. But it should still work. Select a vertex, edge or face. Then run the script. ( --//function to convert selected subObjects to shell fn expandToShell = ( --//Get the modifier, exit if not unwrap uv = ModPanel.getCurrentObject() if classof… -
Re: Normal Map Baking - Hard Edge Problem
That isn't the cause. You should still be able to get a functional normal map out of that low poly. It just won't be pretty on the curved areas. To the OP, try increasing the max frontal and rear search distances for your bake. Also increase the dilation slider to give your map some more padding. If you could post a… -
Re: Shotgun Revolver
Looking pretty good! My only suggestion which is from a functionality standpoint is that the barrel doesn't line up with the revolving chamber. Take a look at some reference for a revolver and u'll see what I mean. U just need to raise the revolving chamber so it lines up, and maybe make it a little bigger, adds that… -
Re: Using atlas-texture and UV-sets for texture variation on prop
If I make a uv offset function in a material instance to decide what part of the texture map is shown on the model, doesnt that mean that I have to make 15 different materials, all with different uv offset values? Isn't it all the same if I make 15 different meshes that has 2 material instances, one with a material for the… -
Re: another hero of time
cool. if you can think of anything to make it better id definitely like the input. I could add more larger functional pouches. like i wanted to have one of the back like i had in the concept and similar to how it on in tp, but i was worried about clipping. ill add some more like one ore two on the side then post the… -
Re: what are the most important basic skills and styles any "digital" artist should know?
Yep, this. I think it's very important to learn how things function so that you can make informed design decisions. So things can look cool AND believable, as opposed to just looking cool. For example, if you're making a chair in 3D for a game, it better be put together in a way a chair really would be, or else I'll be… -
Re: [Maya][Python] Logic Revision in a Display Toggle Script
In the code you posted, if objects have po=3 then they will only be toggled to 1 if no other object is 1. Let me know if there's something you didn't understand. The strangest thing might be the enumerate function, which returns a tuple (a read-only array) that is being unpacked into the 'index, v' variables (aka multiple… -
Re: How to center the pivot point in Marmoset Toolbag2?
Is it possible to duplicate a mesh in Marmoset Toolbag 2? I was assembling a room in Toolbag 2 but it involves a lot of symmetry and so being able to set up half of the room and duplicating/rotating the rest would save me a lot of time. I'm sure this is a pretty basic function I must have missed or something but I haven't… -
Re: Kerryaislinn's WIP Thread
I've really been pushing the lighting and functionality. I still want to add a lot more detail but I've finally figured out the issue I was having with the water levels and I'm starting to feel this place come to life. The advice I have gotten here has really helped me focus in on what I need to do! Looking forward to… -
Re: [NoobQuestion] Baking normals in 3ds max/xNormal
Is the max one you posted actually the outputted file, or is that the preview that you copied and saved as an image? I've noticed the preview max put's out when baking maps is misleading. Also, have you tried just baking the normals of the high poly without projecting it onto the low poly, then just editing the low poly so…
