Re: skewed uv's in Maya?
Yes... I've the same problem. - I know how to solve the problem in SoftImage (hold down the Alt key when rotating). - 3DS Max 6.0 has the same problem, but they fixed it in version 7.0 To solve the problem, I must export the model to Max 7.0 and uv mapping it, then re-export to Maya - but I can't do this if the model use… -
Re: HLSL shader -> Max .. tiling?
multiply the texcoords before sampling (tex2D(..)), performance wise it's often more optimally to multiply in the vertexshader. // create a float variable outside the main function of vertexshader// it will get a ui spinner widget in which you can adjust tilingfloat tileScale< string UIType = "FloatSpinner"; float UIMin =… -
Re: Combining creased objects in Maya
Tried fiddling with this problem for a bit. I don't use crease edges often but when I do they tend to be unstable and get clobbered when combining complex meshes together. Apparently you can't use Select Using Constraints and isolate only crease edges (unless I was using the tool wrong) so I made a workaround script that… -
Re: Positive Affirmations and Mental Maintenance
@VertexZero it's interesting how creative minds who are critical in nature can help to pick apart themselves in doubt. winning that battle has been key for me as well. hope everything worked out! @gauravcm good stuff. nice to get beyond your own little world. something I don't do nearly enough of. something to think hard… -

Re: Maya ShaderFX Question
Gotcha, I didn't watch the first time, but got curious now. In a regular maya shader we'd just use a projection node that has that capability, or parent it directly. It looks like there's a cameraVector node according to this thread, I can't find any docs on it, so I couldn't tell you if you can directly replace the… -
Re: Export from Unity
i've been using a (modified) version of that script for years, it still works fine in 2018 its a c# script so make sure you save it as so - a .cs filename, not unity/javascript which is .js .Also make sure the script is called the same as that defined in public class "EditorObjExporter" any specific compile errors will… -
Re: Lion Warrior
I think you could benefit from changing the normals of the mane in the same ways that foliage is changed in order to make it look more voluminous and less like a bunch of cards. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/VertexNormal#Foliage_Shading -
Re: Blender Render
Just flatten those tiny polygons. This will make the vertexnormals facing upwards, and this should completely solve the shading artifacts, because its coming from them. It works pretty much the same, as it would with a simple phong shading. -
Re: RTT lightmap multiple objects in Max
http://vertexbee.com/rttassist.htm This bakes multiple maps and combine them afterwards. You'd better not use a big padding as it will overlap. But as the alpha is saved, you can still apply a dilatation with xormal filter in photoshop. I think this way is preferable compare to a script that would combine the objects,…
