Re: 3ds max Rig and skin for posing
@coven Add my script above as a button the the skin modifier. And if you do let me know, because I have more scripts that should be integrated. :lol: I recommend doing both. Freeze Transforms will help prevent gimbal lock. And in the Curve Editor it's nice that all the curves emanate from a value of 0. Set Skin Pose saves… -
Re: [SOLVED] Maya, distorted uv after scaling
Freezing transforms applies those transforms to the components, then sets them to zero as you noted, as well as placing the object pivot back at the scene center. When you say, scale a cube out to a rectangular shape, the vertices of the model themselves go untouched, they're still cube-shaped, the scale transform happens… -
Re: UV-Remap: A New Tool for Rearranging the UVs of Textured Models
Thanks to everyone for the detailed feedback. In the meantime, I have implemented a configurable checkerboard for the background: Regarding your comments, I have the following answers: A Linux version is in progress! A very interesting idea, but UV-Remap only transforms uv islands and can not perform individual vertex… -
Normal Map Problem with using Transfer Maps/Maya 2014
Ive been reading lots of threads about Transfer Maps lately and have not found any solution in this particular problem. I have baked normal maps before and this just blew my mind. Only problem I can come up with is the UVs but the distortion is everywhere, cannot see that possible even with some streched UVs. I tried every… -
Re: Rain Slicked Surfaces
Aha! Thanks sprung, that's exactly the kind of thing that I was looking for! I've managed to isolate the chunk of the material tree that creates this effect: Panning Orientation Masks Normals Blending Unknown It seems that the approach here is to create three planar UVW 'projections' and then blend them all together. I've… -
Re: [maya] froX : an xNormal script exporter for maya
coming from max cages were typically auto generated through the projection modifier, but essentially all it was is geometry duplicated and pushed out along its normals (i believe maya calls this an envelope in transfer maps). what ive been doing as a temp thing for maya is just that.. duplicating my geometry and selecting… -
Re: More then one Lerp blend Shader possible?
If it is indeed the same problem as mine, then Vailias method works best. It's much easier to control in the long run on a complex shader. The other cheap way to do is to add all your nodes which are going into your Vector Transform nodes by a empty Reflection node (subtract the Reflection node by itself and add/multi it… -
Re: nDo - Normal creation toolkit
awesome tools, thanks for sharing! I'm having problems getting the "transform" button in the UI to work though. When I click it, it gives me the transform box but I can't actually manipulate any of the points. I can use my regular transform hotkey though so I guess its fine... but I need to close the nDo UI first and then… -
Re: Maya questions
unless u r only transforming one component at a time... "transform component" only aligns to 1 axis predictably. ( and is creating history every time u use it. ) orientation for multi selection pipeline: from a selection of components ( a face row loop fer example ) whose axis is obviously "not aligned"... press a make… -
Re: Are more 4K textures being used in games now?
I also wonder it too. I use 2k mostly and 4k as a rare exception. Mostly in form of long stripes 4kx512. Never worked for FPS although. A material when exported from Substance Painter always needs /2 down-scaling to be pixel to pixel efficient in my experience. Due to working not in snap to pixel integer values but rather…
