I really wouldn't recommend that either... -
Re: [REQUEST] Maya workflow tutorials
Yeah sure. Except you will most likely never, ever manage to work like that efficiently - it is just way to limiting. Here is your workflow, for any asset : > Start from a well established 2d concept ; > Make a rough blockout model of the whole asset. It can be low or highpoly, clean or rough, it doesn't matter. But it… -
Re: [REQUEST] Maya workflow tutorials
from the cgsociety thread This sounds interesting and more like what you're talking about. Nested shapes. You can view the models inputs/outputs in the channel box for editing, or in Window>Hypergraph with connections (I forget the actual wording offhand). -

Re: [REQUEST] Maya workflow tutorials
Something I'm having problems with is in max you'd make your hp geo and have an edit poly on it when you add the edge loops. then when you want to make the lp. you just copy the geo and remove the edit poly that holds the edge loop information. now you're left with a lowpoly piece. does Maya have anything like this? it… -
Re: [REQUEST] Maya workflow tutorials
As you wish - but I still think that pointing out a technique giving bad results and screwing up a pipeline (aka, adding/removing "support geometry" after a bake) is something worth doing. It's all about avoiding the spreading of bad habits, especially on a public forum like here! -
Re: [REQUEST] Maya workflow tutorials
Here's my tip: If you are moving to Maya, don't think about Max workflow, it won't work. Maya is different, try learning the Maya way, not trying to convince yourself using Max way inside Maya. It's the hard truth. Many people that converted to Maya had to do the same. As for your mesh, the best method is: "BACKUP"…
