Re: Maya edge smoothing issue
If those are two separate objects then you will need to use the Vertex Normal Edit Tool (Mesh Display > Vertex Normal Edit Tool) in conjunction with the Vertex Face selection mode to force the vertex normals of both objects to point in the same direction. If your surface is planar along an axis you might be able to get… -
Re: [Maya Shaderfx] World Position, does it work?
Hey @bitinn The 'Position World' is indeed supposed to be the correct node for this. Maya's viewport 2.0 'consolidation' can be turned off in VP2 settings if you really need it. Though this could come at a small performance hit for large scenes. One alternative might be to hook up 'Parameter' nodes instead to expose the… -
Re: Decimating Hardsurface sculpts good practice????
decimated meshes should be fine, just check for artifacts as sometimes you might get a few strange normals happen or stretching which will affect your normal map, if that happens just change your decimation percentage slightly until it disappears. Often you have to get it into max/maya to see if somethings weird. Its… -
Re: Selection as Array variable not keeping it values..
Awesome man, even better :D . I might modify it a tiny bit if I can get it to work without breaking your script, so it uses the centers x,y, but uses the min z of the selection. You don't have to worry about it though, I'll figure it out... I hope, ha. I just want to do that so the selection doesn't sit halfway through the… -
Re: darksiders inspired enviroment
here is some primitive base meshes everything is broken up into pieces, and the idea is to bring each of these into z brush and sculpt out the environment and then make an optimized mesh in topogun. the larger pieces will rely on more tillable textures while unique texture maps will be used on the smaller pieces. I also… -
Re: 3DS Max 2013 - What are you hoping for?
Option to reverse z-sorting in selection. A LONG time ago, somewhere pre-Max 4, the default z-sorting for overlapping selections went from front to back and cycled very logically between any overlaps. Somewhere around 4.2 or 5, something in that behavior changed and it's been a pain ever since trying to click-select… -
Re: 3DS Max's wonky viewport navigation.
mmh well sorry, it's not about the rotation focus. In perspective, the zoom is relative to the size of the object when you press z so the the move is coherent, hence if you focus on a big object and then try to zoom on a little object right after, it will be "slow" because the zooming ratio is still adapted to the big… -
Re: X-normal - high rez base texture.
Hey Gir not X-Normal advice but to get around the Z-Brush explosion try this.... Export the lowest sub div to .obj Open that in max / any 3d application. DO NOT convert to poly, modify or adjust any vertex positions. The whole explosion is sometimes down to vertex numbers being incorrect Unwrap in Max Export to Z-Brush, in… -
Re: do you believe in love at first sight? (mudbox)
mop & po(o)p: thanks - but... you didn't know about that? how do people deal with the blobs in Z, or the edgy corners in quick strokes in PS7+? no wonder everybody screams for this muddy box thing. my second tip would be to create your own floating UI then. saves a lot of time digging through the menu structure. hopefully… -
Re: Texturing Lines on a Large Paved Area
You might think that polies floating just above a surface would give all sorts of problems, but it's done in every scene of every game (well, almost). You need to have a no-z-write kind of flag, to keep it from z-fighting. And unless your game is toy based and you're REALLY close to the ground, as long as you float it…
