Re: Maya: move component tool reorders verts...
What's happening when you use Transform Component on a quad mesh is your cage becomes stretched and compressed in some areas and the triangulation that happens behind the scenes tends to favor the shortest distance between vertices. The stretching and compressing of those faces will change the triangle edge's direction… -
Re: How to mirror my actions to all parts of same shape.
Don't avoid modifier stacks. Just learn why they can break, so you can avoid doing that. They're not bugs, they're just a part of the workflow. Some modifiers are dependent on the vertex count below them. If you change the vertex count, the modifier will reset itself. For example, if you delete some vertices in Editable… -
Re: Maya - How to model crown molding around a corner?
I started using this script for setting up corners, works like a charm for 90 degree angles. What usually works best for me on these is to make little prototype chunks that have the vertical UVs laid out and duplicate those around, like caffeineadic mentions. Things like Straight, Bend90in, Bend45out, etc Then I can just… -
Re: 115 Madison Avenue in the Style of "The Division"
Yeah, you can all of the channels for vertex painting. Just connect the first Lerp that you created into the B slot of the second, then the second plugs into diffuse, spec, normal, etc. There is an order of heirarchy, so whatever is used in the second lerp will cover the first, and the third will cover the second,… -
Re: Large landscape texturing wip [UDK]
I would add a layer or 2 of erosion that crosses over the distinct boundaries of textures you have, something that isn't simply based on height and slope. If TerreSculptor doesn't give you that then go look at World Machine 2 or GeoControl 2. The grass values ought to be increased, more grass and less dirt, but should also… -
Re: Norman Survivor Update
I'd keep an eye on ~0:05, the linear speed that the character climbs up the ladder kinda breaks the flow of the narrative. It'd be better for it to desperately to climb up quickly and slow to a tired stop near the top, or inversely struggle to climb up slowly before reaching the top at a desperate speed. At ~0:07 the… -
Re: [WIP] Winery Environment [UDK]
Maybe try to work in some wooden support "Pillars" in the scene. A proper lighting setup will help this scene as well, make it look more interesting rather than the flat , boxy look you've got right now. Right now the only small props you have are the wine bottles. Make sure you create some other small props to place… -
Re: Daves Female Character Thread...
Epic image to open with, i know (more can be found here, for science: http://page3-cms.firstclarity.com/page360/ ) So, first few things i noticed, her body is proportionally wrong. typically her shoulders should be three heads wide, and her body should be around 7 heads high. the outer point on her hips when looking from… -
Re: Great Maya UV's unwrap new script
Hi SUNCHIRP, yeah that is the exact workflow we have been using for the last 9 months. Like I said I have a simple script which unitizes, moves and sews then unfold vertical constraint and am left with what you have in your final screenshot. The tricky part is getting rid of all the diagonal edges in the unwrap so our tech… -
Re: I got rejected from multiple jobs, what am I doing wrong?
I would suggest to work on your wood textures a lot, they dont feel like natural wood to me atm. with the blunderbuss you have wood grains going horizontal with bump details and then the albedo has vertical grains running up, thats pretty confusing. they are also pretty over the top so you could notch them down a bit. for…
