Re: Maya crash \ can`t open scene
Thanks for the nice tips Justo.:thumbup: Dear DireWolf thank you a lot! It works!:) Feel free to cantact me if you need something! Actually it was not so easy, for some reason my MAya crashes when I open your FBX file, but I opened it with 3ds max, and max gave me this - "One or more objects define the UV mapping by… -
Re: Physique and Skin won't work -- help!
YAYYAAAYAYYAYAYAAAY!!! I finally figured it out. The problem was Props. When you create a biped, you can check "arms," and you can check "props." I had checked both, foolishly taking a risk and giving props a try for the first time. Apparently you should never check props, because they render the biped un-skinnable. Maybe… -
Re: Mysterious Hard Edges
What happens when the whole thing is a single smoothing group? (All edges softenend) My guess is that it is an interpolation issue. Since you're not using a normal map you're relying on interpolated vertex normals. Look at where your UV seams are in comparison to where your issues are arising. Two of the corners of that… -
Re: Maya vertex normals changed after separating part of mesh
No. If I lock normals and then do a separate, vertex normals all over the model get screwy and you end up with black splotches. This, from what I have read, is a bug Maya has had for awhile. To fix it, you unlock the normals and things pop back into place, but the new vertices at the seam are slightly different, as seen… -
Re: How can I tile within a UV chart?
If you want to see an example of how an in-game model UV can look like tile'd up beyond recognition you can visit my old CG society website: http://mackster.cgsociety.org Basically in terms of performance the choice of tiling in that way is not good because where every UV/vertice is "cut" you'll end up with an doubled up… -
Re: Savage Pig Handpainted Workthread
- The eyes are super bright right now. -You should do a vertical gradient bake. -The fur on the body could use a bit more variation/detail. - There should be a gradient for each tusk - There should be a gradient for the bones(tusks?) on this armband. - You might want to adjust either the fur color or the clothes color,… -
Re: Can't Start the Gun Show With Bad Topology
If this is your High polygon mesh, add as many edge loops as you need, but try and keep it manageable and efficient! For the slide, I would start off with one high sided cylinder for the best smoothing along the top then remove the bottom half and add the boxy bottom. Starting with high sides makes it easier to cut out… -
Re: Bevel vs. Smoothing Groups
For high poly I almost never use Bevel unless it is to create a filleted corner. Beveling becomes messy very quickly (especially in Maya) and I generally do not like losing my corners whilst modeling with smooth preview. I almost always use support edges but there have been instances here and there where I will use the… -
Re: >_< FUUUU Topogun
Topogun is a good retopo program,(tried the Zbrush retopo some years ago in the testimonial time and I wasn´t satisfied with it,the way I had to move the vertices in the air to get a correct map of the highpoly for the lowpoly was horrible) so Zbrush isnt´t my choise for retopo stuff. the beta version of Topogun therefor… -
Re: Arm Joint position
Because the loops are positioned incorrectly, you're never going to get proper joint placement. If you think of vertex weighting as the vertices as children of the bone, think about how the bone rotates... the vertices you're concerned about for the shoulder come at the socket and down the arm/shoulder on the top of the…
