Maya: Transfer Maps, Diffuse flipped (registering on back)
Hey guys. I'm trying to create a cubemap texture in Maya using Maya's Transfer Map to sample the diffuse colors around a polygon cube. I have a sphere with a starmap texture and a few polygon spheres with planet textures. The Cube has a UV-map layout to match ATIs cubemap cross layout. Everything is working fine, except… -
One object or multi objects, UV and resolution selection question??
Hi there I'm not sure anyone has asked this topic already or i didn't find it but I going to ask it again. For example: If i want to make a basic hammer and import to unity. As my Topic should I make top metal and handle wood all in one object, or I should make it separate to two object?? or it doesn't matter?? Make one UV… -
RTS Vehicle UV Mapping
Hey guys, I'm working on a low poly RTS type vehicle (Gun and turret not shown) i don't have a lot of experience UV mapping vehicles so I was hoping to get some feedback on my UV Layout. The model is going to have a specular map so i tried to keep large sections together. Any feedback would be extremely helpful! Thanks The… -
Re: create blinn material button - MEL
here is my script I want to assign that blinn material in my script also as you can see in the image. // delete window if it exists if ( `window -exists jayantsWindow` ) { deleteUI jayantsWindow; } // create a window with a menu bar window -title "3DGhost" -menuBar true -w 220 -h 200 jayantsWindow; // two frame layouts… -
Re: A question about low poly modeling.
It really depends on the object, it's importance and what you're trying to do. It's not always about saving a few polygons, sometimes its about UV layout optimization, shading or a better workflow. For example, the the UV layout in the top pic would be a giant quad with a big deadzone in the middle, that uv space is… -
Re: Maya Newbie Questions
Thanks, ppenguin. I wanted to do very high-poly modeling for high quality renders, which is why I started out with SubD. I will try the Poly > SubD route (with Mental Ray's approximation editor) and see if it is any easier than straight SubD. I found out a couple of solutions, described below, tested in Maya 2008. If… -
Re: [WIP] [Environment] Ancient Gates
Finally here's an update for this project! To keep it short, I've been working on the general layout, expanding the whole thing and bringing in more elements that can be opportunities to show some backstory for this world. I've been also working on the terrain a lot, and after a few tries I think I got it to a good spot in… -
Re: [Environment Demo Reel DX11] - Alden Filion
Phenomenal work man! The lighting, layout, and materials are outstanding! But I agree that the outside field scene is... "sub par"? You see the first two scenes and "the eyes just sparkle with ecstasy", but then droop when you get to the outside scene. I would either spruce it up a bit, or just remove it. The lighting,… -
Re: Max UV Reset Question
Could you expand on this a little? As far as I know, you use Render To Texture to transfers maps and surface detail not UV layouts. The projection modifier aids in this process and won't actually transfer UV layouts. Normally the only UV's that matter are on the destination mesh, the source mesh can be whatever jumbled… -
Re: Maya UV scaling tiling gap / offset problem
Just to mention that's also what "Layout UVs" options are made for. Precise to the most and no snapping of any kind needed. - Select all of your UVs - Layout UVs option box : Single object Prescale:none ShellLayout:none >> disables spacing value ScaleMode:uniform Stacking:shape Rotate:none - Re-select UVs (resets centered…
