Yeah Max has the best UVing tools I have used and like it so much more then Maya. Sure a script or two helps but still, its a lot better then Maya where I select a face in the UV window and all faces but that selected face disappear...yeah LOVE that about Maya...
I decided to switch back to d3d as nitrous is just giving me too many weird problems. Faces were showing as flipped when they weren't, no marquee selection was visible, edged faces looked weird at random times (moreso with turbosmooth on & isoline), etc. I'm just going to wait for the next service pack or hotfixes until I…
Agreed, if you're talking about workflow, why do we have to work with uv and vert/edge/face separately by modifier? Another annoyance is getting a separate huge window just to work on the uv with lots of buttons? I know most of you have dual monitor setup, but it's not comfortable editing uv and checking seam in the…
Could you answer a quick question about the UV tools? I'm wondering about that white box that appears to the right of the vertex, edge, face selection modes. Is that essentially a shell selection mode or select by element mode? Is it hotkeyable to 4 in the uv dialog? That was one thing that drove me nuts. That little…
On my current project, my viewport fps in 2011 was about 1/2 of what it is in 2012 tonight. My biggest gripe I've ran into since testing 2012 has been that their UV selection tools still don't support subobj conversion. Meaning, I can't select an edge and ctrl+click the poly selection button to select those faces. Really…
Yea the curve editor still kills FPS for me too, there are times I would love to see 3fps. Here are the results of my tests on my work machine (a below average machine), with a 100k tri mesh. Vista 64bit Ultimate i5 2.67GHz 8gb RAM GeForce GT 240 (I'll test it at home tonight which is a lot beefier system) Realistic…
So... I ran some more tests with modifiers and all that yummy stuff. This is a little written tutorial of what I did and what happened. I can assure you that it was faster in 2009 :) (at least 3x faster), but I bet 2012 is much better than 2010 and 2011. By the way this is a very cool technique, might come in handy :).*…
For me the only lag I get in the UV editor is when I close it, takes 2-3 seconds sometimes. That's only at home, at work on a worse machine with slightly out of date drivers, its fine. I suspect a few of these things will be worked out in the coming weeks or months and the first service pack will probably tackle a lot of…
