Hello, I am working on a project that requires a large number of variations of different characters, especially variations of different face types/facial features. It is essential that modifying character variations is not time-consuming. Of course, I am familiar with changing the model through sculpting, but the problem…
If you're going to get into rigging, its going to get really technical really fast, you'll need to probably start learning maxscript and definitely expressions. Which is where the whole art vs programing discussion starts to weigh in. Once your animating its back to artist territory, if your not really interested in the…
Been too excited about a project to go to sleep, so back again. Really apologize for my sarcasm, I get like that when my head is cloudy from being tired mingled with frustration at autodesk and an all too common case of shit-aint-working. One of the things that made my skin crawl since the modelling kit / NEX integration…
DerekLeBrun - sorry.. you can't export everything to PS.. what you can do however, is create a PS file with layers, etc, and bring that into substance.

To retrace a few things I posted earlier, you have various ways to go about texturing so I wanted to break them down. The first is unwrapping every element of your scene and texturing the UV shells specifically. For instance you could unwrap one of the 3 pillars you have, save out the UV template for Photoshop, and texture…
Hey Brad, don't know if this helps or not but here it is. Someone had asked me over PM for some help with Maya Hair, and I wrote this out. It's kinda brief, but I can add some images or expound on things if you need. I also mainly use fiber mesh. I render in Maya with Vray, so the trick really is getting my fibermesh stuff…
