[3ds Max] Skewmesh: Tessellate Smoothing Artifacts (Solved)
I'm trying to use the skewmesh technique for baking normals, but I'm having trouble with the Tessellate modifier creating weird smoothing in 3ds Max 2017. These smoothing artifacts appear in the baked world space (and subsequent tangent space) normal map in Substance Designer. I have a finished, UVW Unwrapped, and Reset… -
Maxivz's Interactive Tools for Max
Hi guys, I have been playing with some maxscript to automate some stuff that I usually use and decided to share it here, maybe somebody will find it useful. The scripts are tested in Max 2015 so I don't know if they will work in all max versions. Interactive Tools: Collection of tools that do different actions when… -
Re: 3dsMax - How to get rid of "show cage"?
There's another way to preview your model with turbosmooth as applying it as modifier and delete it and you can bind it to hotkey. Here's Macro macroScript turbosmoothPreview category:"Rav_cfg" toolTip:"Turboosmoth_Preview" ( actionMan.executeAction 0 "369" b = $ c = TurboSmooth() c.name = "Turbosmooth_Preview" hasTurbo =… -
Re: Mudbox! YEah, i want it!
Nope, the latest video shows some sculpting in action, and modifying the base geometry (eg. extruding). The displacement is preserved, just needs minor smoothing at the edge of the modification. My intention is create the mesh in Silo, sculpt it to the main form I intend, use topology brush if need be, then take it into… -
Re: Maxscript question : Converting one Uv vertex to edges.
Pass the selection down to the editable poly and get the connected edges from there before passing it back to the UV modifier. Something like this: vrt = $.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].getSelectedGeomVertsByNode $ modPanel.setCurrentObject $.baseObject tmp = polyop.getEdgesUsingVert $ vrt modPanel.setCurrentObject… -
3D Studio Max Mirrored UV Issue
I have some Mirrored UV's in 3DS Max that I am trying to flip however when I select them in the Unwrap modifier it selects both of them and in the viewports it shows a mirror modifer similar to the Symmetry gizmo. Is there a way to break the mirrored UVs apart so I can flip the correct ones? I have tried the "Break" tool… -
Re: Architecture Series® - Hip-and-gable roof + glazed tiles
Hey guys, duh. Yeah, the solution was to use a FFD nodifier. I remodeled the roof without curvature, and used a slice plane to cut straight on x and y every 20 cm, like so: Then used a simple FFD modifier to get the shape I wanted: After that it was as easy as creating shapes from my edge selection and use spline profiles… -
Character design within type-based creature characters; codifying conventions
Hello Polycount, I am currently doing a dissertation on character design within video games, specifically creatures/monsters of elemental and magical types, trying to distinguish patterns within each type. I am trying to formalise type-based character design, allowing players to initially recognise character abilities.… -
Re: [RANT]What I really REALLY hate about Blender as a 3ds Max user.
Well , " When you create an object/mesh for example a cylinder and you click on that object or something else. You can't adjust the radius, height or subcount anymore." Those videos show you totally can starting not from a cylinder but rather an edge. With screw or bend modifier then curve modifier again . For the tree… -
XSI Shortcuts without options
Hi ! I'm learning XSI these days and i got a problem concerning the shortcuts. If I click the Modifiers into : Model/Modify/Polymesh/Bevel (bevel is an example but it's the same for extrude or others) i get a nice little window with options for this modifier. Like that : But whenever i create a shortcut for this operation…
