[Maya] How to properly bind chest IK controller to spine bone?
I've created a low poly (~450 triangles) male human model in 3DS Max, and have brought it over to Maya for rigging. Following a tutorial on creating IK controllers, I've got most of them properly set. But I have an issue with the spine IK, where the chest's spine bone only rotates horizontally, and not vertically. The… -
Re: Is there a efficient way to auto Unwrap Uvs by material ID?
i attached a quick Blenders geometry node example that packs all same mat ID UV islands in sort of automated style as rows. it uses material id index to shift UV in U direction each in 1 . So each UV islands having mat ID 1 shifts to 1 , islands with matID2 shifts to 2 etc. They all scales back to 0-1 in the end . I have 4… -
Re: Transformation2D Offset function question
Thank you for your insights poopie! I'll definitely check out Igor's particle system nodes. I have a long learning curve ahead of me. I gave it a try with Pixel Processor as well as Fx-Map. With pixel processor, because I use sample gray node, it wouldnt let me alter tiling mode. With FX-map it was pretty straight forward… -
Re: [WIP] Datsun 710 Violet
Intuitive insights for subd modeling cars in Max At a glance it's obvious you've put in some prior research which is a key element when approaching this type of object for the first time. So just a few additional points I think worth mentioning: * I'd suggest modeling the entire mesh as one object, to begin with * Use as… -
Re: How to unwrap a VERY HIGH-POLY ONLY model in Maya 2020? Help me please, I wanna die...
Wow! Looking at how you are doing this it looks sooo simple! Thanks a lot for showing the process as well! When I tested unwrapping, what I did is first i did Planar Uv's, then I auto-cut it, then unfolded it with Unfold3D and then with Legacy unfold just to make sure it unwrapped better both horizontally and vertically.… -
Re: Dynamesh giving me extremely faceted/strange results
This is because dynamesh is like subdividing without smoothing. By adding points on flat faces, you basically "break" the smooth interpolation between normals, which ironically looks worse than the less defined mesh. To get what happens, you can create a low poly cylinder in max, and add a tesselate modifier (edge, tension… -
Re: Creating Trim Sheets 4 Part Tutorial - Polygon Academy
Really thank you for the entire series! This is one of tne most in depth resources on it to exist, aside from Jacob's breakdown. I had a few questions that most people don't really talk about. 1. Would making a trim UV for eg 1:2 ratio vertical (2k*4k) and sticking a texture variant on it be a bad idea? Or should you only… -
Re: [CE3] City Mall Interior
Hey, what are your plans for the walls/floors? As is they feel a bit empty for a place that's been broken into. Maybe some graffiti or signs of wear and tear. Also, if I may suggest, the arch/semi circle area of the window ceiling feels like the supports are sort of randomly placed. Not the grate area.. just the area where… -
Re: Cyberpunk Street [Unreal Engine 4]
Nice cyberpunk scene! Really nice to see you posting your continued progress on it. I think the most significant contribution at this point would be to work out a more solid composition; currently it feels like there is a lack of a focus, or anywhere for your eye to travel. The lighting and neon signs you've added at the… -
Re: Need some help on an asset
3DS Max is, of all of the poly modelers, the one I know the most. But nowadays, literally every 3D software has a pivot point that can be freely moved/rotated/snapped at any moment. No matter if you're working on the object level or the sub-object level (edges, vertices, quads, etc). And this makes a tremendous difference.…
