Simple question about removing faces in Maya 2011
I am just modeling some simple geometry in Maya 2011 and I am kind of stuck how to fix what appears to be a simple problem. I want to delete the faces I have selected but not make the object hollow. Obviously when I select all those faces and hit delete I end up with a hollow object I can see into. I know I can go back and… -
Weird shading on model, Topology to blame or what? (blender or max same deal)
So I just cut a simple section i wanted extruded inward, and added in geo to either a quad or tri setup and getting weird issues, i guess its a topology issue, perhaps something else, it isn't the material as if i take it into max or unity looks bad. If i was to apply a sub-d on either there is bad pinching, I'm just… -
Re: TRON - PLAYER - RLPudding
The disc looks like Link's shield with the triforce in it. The legs and arms look very stiff like a dead mummy. Imo. its better to model them with some more relaxed natural pose, bend the arms slightly, same for the legs. Body parts have no perfect linear flows, instead there is always a swing or curve in them. Obviously… -
Re: Retopology & baking - teeth/horns/spinities
I wouldn't retopo the small teeth details. However try your best to keep geometry set up in those areas so you can just extrude them out really quick in max/maya. For example, I see edge loops around lower jaw teeth and those could just be collapsed poles, which you can later chamfer into that shape, then extrude them out.… -
Re: Painting branchy meshes? [max]
You might want to explore the branch tool in Graphite Modeling Tools > Poly Draw > Branch http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-1C007053-3CFB-42F9-B953-3C329C199B7E.htm,topicNumber=d30e126418 You select a poly and paint drag out. You can control the step distance the angle and the… -
Re: Maya LT
Yeah it seems a lot still doesn't work in symmetry. I'll be glad when Maya has the basics for modeling done well. Several modeling tools/actions don't work with symmetry such as inserting edge loops and multi-cut. Instance mirror does not work well as symmetry for several reasons so they need to hurry up with proper… -
Re: WIP - Akira Speederbike
Thanks for pointing that out! I looked it over and i think the reason its looking a little short is because i took off the wheels which normally extrude quite a bit from the "base" of the bike. I've tried to extrude the back piece but some of the smaller pieces are starting to intersect with eachother. If I have the time… -
[MAYA] why there is no "parent" constraint?
It’s weird that such a basic (and mandatory) constraint is missing from the "top-tier" animation software.But before someone points to that thing labelled "Parent" under the Constrain menu, or shares links to the help docs. let’s define what parenting actually means. A parent is a hierarchical relationship: one object is… -
Help applying a spline to a cylindrical object
Not sure if the title is worded correctly, but here's my issue. I have a spline in the shape of flames from Illustrator that I need to convert into geometry to add onto a cylinder. For what I'm working on, I can't alter the original spline, except to help bend/wrap it around the cylinder. If I convert it to an Editable… -
3dsmax - keep animation of collapsing stack
Hi Guys, So I'm currently creating a book which i want to take into UDK. I want there to be a main anim of opening the book and then a couple seperate pages that can turn. So where im at and stuck with is after i've created the main binder and bones, this open and closes fine and works in udk. but when i create the pages,…
