I have this steel beam which I would like to deform/follow the shape of a spline. How would I do this? I'm using max which I'm guessing has something built in for this. I'm using max 7.
Interesting, although near the end I have to believe that theres other information stored somewhere to give the amount of detail that it is. Specifically on the fish, how'd it know to make them spherical? http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~cyang/sketch3d.mov
Greetings, I want to build a wooden shack with some of the wooden planks missing or have a gap in between so u can see inside of it. I thought about just modeling that way or even adding some alphas to the textures but i'm not sure how well that will work. Any hints? I'm using 3ds max
hi guys i was wondering if anyone knows a good way to unwrap a spherical with little to no distortion so i can use it in substance painter 2, i know about using a cube with mesh smooth/turbosmooth however this does not get the exact shape that i needed, any help or guides would be hugely appreciated
Open Barrels, Trash Cans, Dumpters. For these things, things that have a deep -inside-, is it commonplace to separate the innards and move then away from the main mass when doing your baking? Or are there other workaround I haven't considered?
I'm exporting a car from Max in FBX to Maya. Some parts of the car in Maya just become white with a Phong material, others are the normal gray. I can change the material and color and what not but ONLY the gray stuff gets affected. Exporting an OBJ from Max gives the error of UV's out of range and Maya refuses to import it…
So i'm just curious on if anybody knows how to do this. But I know that you can sculpt in zbrush then make bump maps from that and use it. But can you do the opposite and create a bump map in different program, Import that bump map in to zbrush then apply its properties to the actual mesh. Is this doable?
Hello! So I've been working in maya and I've never come across this issue before. Maya randomly crashed, then when i re-opened my file, everything was completely gone. Nothing in outliner/workspace. I googled how to recover temp files, but it didn't seem to work. I thought the file was just corrupted so i started over. I…
