Re: Having some issues with seams...
You are probably right that the texel density might be off between faces or the UVs are stretched causing the seams. I used Headus UV Layout to unfold the shells but I'm thinking that perhaps I should try "optimizing" them in Maya or something, see what happens with a different layout. I didn't think UV layout would be… -
Re: SoftImage questions from a max user
Add a tally to the list for me. Softimage gave Autodesk quite a few good things when they were rolled into the fold. the newest point release actually merged unfold 3d with XSIs UV tools, which were in desperate need of an update. Don't forget the ICE system which has been a boon for creating all sorts of cool effects. So… -
Re: Game of Thrones
I felt Catelyn Starks monologue was unnecessary, so much book stuff they could have included instead. I don't mind them fleshing out the story a little more, I quite liked the crossbow scene, but not at the expense of content actually related to the book. Her schizophrenia doesn't pertain to anything in the future books,… -
Re: World war 2 stick grenade
Cylindrical mapping, or simply select the edgeloops at either end of the cyldrical shape of the handle, convert to seam. You can also select one of the loops running vertically (if the grenade was standing up) and do a unfold strip from loop and simply scale it until correct. (in uvw unwrap modifier, 3ds max) There will… -
Re: Max 8 Videos
The WAY the guy in the video uses pelt mapping is complete overkill. He spends forever in the pelt mapper trying to get a "perfect" unwrap; big waste of time. They way you -should- use pelt mapping is just to quickly establish where you want your uv seems, and unfold them a little bit and then just hand them off to uv… -
Re: Obama's address to Congress
Obama contributed to the largest spending package last year (along with McCain and most clueless morons) by voting for the TARP. In one shot they spent more money than the Iraq war & Afghanistan combined. He's contributing to what should've been a 1-2 year deflationary recession into something that will unfold into a… -
Re: Need Some Advice
I'm with Chris. It took me a full twenty-five seconds to get through the initial load, then another four for the site to finish unfolding. It took around five seconds to go to the WIP page and have that load. My first instinct was to close your page after the first five seconds of loading, but a morbid curiosity pulled me… -
Re: [WIP][Vehicle][Prop] GAZ 69
I did another uv re-pack and to get better texel density and and did another texture iteration First I grouped the uvs of different parts and scaled them so important parts of the model get more texel density and less viable or hidden parts get less. When I do the final uv packing with unfold 3D I make sure the shells pre… -
Re: Maya uv editor pin/lock uv's or sew to edge.
In this particular case, if you move and sew this section into place, select the UVs in the centre and unfold, it will put them back into place. As for general sewing of uv shells without distortion, there was a script called ESALsmartMoveAndSewUVs.mel from jocose… -
