[3ds max] locking and/or constraining vertices for make planar tool
I'm modeling a rather simple but "straight" shape but i ran into a tiny issue where if i wanted to make a face planar at an odd angle it becomes a bit wobbly since all the vertices move in random directions to flatten it out. How do i prevent the selected vertices from moving, and making sure the remaining vertex is… -
Pin constraints on a rigged character
Dear Polycount, I have a simple rigged model that I would like to attach some simple cubes to with pin constraints however Maya wont seem to allow me to do this. I simply got an error when just trying to do a basic attachment so I then sought out an online solution that parented small polygons to the skeleton and used them… -
MAYA disappear constraint blue channel
I baked my animation on skin joints whose was parentConstraint to control joints, now i need back them to follow that constraint, i delete all animation on them, but i see that they channel don't have blue color anymore, but all constraint stay in place in outliner and they still stick to joints, but they don't work… -
Re: Polycount Model Database for Normal Mapping
Another easy way to place things on the surface is with the Attachment Constraint. It will let you slide/align the floater along any surface you pick. Here's what you do: - Select your floater click Animation > Constraints > Attachment - Click or click/drag on the surface to place it. Tips: - Assign Attachment Constraint… -
Re: maya: animating constraint/parenting?
If you use a point constraint, you can animate the weight that a constraint has with a object. For your baton example, You would have 2 point constraints setup on the baton, one for the giving hand and one for the receiving hand. The giving hand will have it's point constraint keyed at 1, and the receiving hand will have… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (102)
Happy May! Once again, very cool concepts :star: I wanted to try out the eye, specifically have it track the player/ camera. First, blocked it out in Unity using primitives and worked on the functionality. Put the eye into a squashed container so it gets flattened and used a look at constraint with the camera set as the… -
How do I use MAYA Constrains to move a mechanical wing?
I have trouble figuring out which constrain I have to use and the order they are supposed to be in so I can move the wing. My goal is to move the gear, and the wing should go up and down. The cylinders should just rotate and stay in their place. The second arm should follow the gear rotate with it like old train wheels.… -
Maya parenting/constraining/??? problem
I'm using Maya PLE 5. I'm building a UT2K4 character with custom animation. I have a gun blank mesh that, through trial and error, is shaped such that most guns that the character holds will fit that shape. Kinda. So as I animate I can fit the hands to that shape and know that the gun will line up in game. Or at least not… -
Re: Is anyone up for a scripting challenge?
I hope this explains it clearly. I don't know how useful it would be on Curvature but I'd find it very useful on Straighten (both example GIFs are Straighten). Unconstrained Straighten creates the shortest path between the two end vertices. Constraints - Edge - Straighten would constrain it to the surface's edges. In the… -
Constraints to edge in Maya?
I did this in Max, but want to know how I can do this in Maya Loop select the edges Move the edges up with constraints to edge turn on. here is what happend when I do this in Maya, cuz I don't know where the constraints to edge is in Maya. The OMToolbox's slide tool is kinda weird to use. So any Maya users know how to do…
