Ok an N-pole shading error - (a vertex where 5 or more edges meet) which forces Blender to average face normals across different angles, causing dark spots or "pinching" artifacts when using smooth shading. And here's a few options that may resolve the problem 1. To fix the Normals and Smoothing often, shading artifacts…
Here's that pic. You'll notice a couple things: 1. The edge is selected on the left side of the mesh in both the front and left views, but in the perspective view, it's selected the right side. This is not simply because the viewport is rotated wrong, but its the mesh is backwards. 2. You'll see that the mesh in the left…
Hello Everyone! Old topic, old issue, getting me crazy. I am modeling a house in Maya 2017 and I have been baking my textures with Arnold. Until yesterday, my bakings were perfectly fine until black seams started to show up on my final AO's and/or material bakes. I haven't changed baking settings but increase the AO a bit…

I downloaded Blender 2.8 last week and was looking into adding my own scripts to custom keyboard hotkeys, but there are gaps in my understanding that the Blender documentation, or these conversations I found, isn't explaining well enough to a dumbass like me. If I use these three code lines, I can call the subobject mode…
Note: This picture is very rough, and by no means depicts final quality work. "life" is a working title and may be changed further into development. First and foremost, this is not your typical game project. I don't want to release too much information yet, as I am still working out all the details. As it sits now I am the…
Greetings! I am looking into buying a new drawing tablet for my PC. The old one I used was from Trust and recently stopped working. I am looking into buying a drawing tablet from Wacom. I have been looking at the Wacom Intuos Pro series and is a bit thorn between buying the medium or large one. I've done some calculations…
@justo just like I showed in the video, for full control set AS to 180 and manually mark sharps. Also, I use select by angle all the time in Max. I also got so used to this from modeling in Zbrush with Zmodeler and select flat island. Select linked flat faces is the closest in comparison. Instead of a toggle just assign a…
Hi, Im looking to upgrade my Graphics Card to a - nVidia Geforce GTX 1060 version, either the EVGA GTX 1060 3GB Super Clocked (1607MHz - Base Clock) & (1835MHz - Boost Clock) or the EVGA GTX 1060 6GB Fatory Specs (1506MHz - Base Clock) & (1708MHz - Boost Clock) -So the question is whether its better to have more MHz or…
*Append Poly is your Maya connect. Now that they've got the loop and ring stuff in there you shouldn't need MJ Poly Tools at all. Probably *I'm fairly sure you're stuck with Maya's navigation. You'll get used to it pretty quickly, its not that different. *I haven't used silo, but you can highlight different kinds of…
