Re: Maya hard edges not working...
Just in case no one mentioned this if you are importing your model into Maya from Max you will get locked vertex normals and you don't actually have to select the vertices you can just select the whole model to unlock them. Also if you import from Max you will get an unwanted extra uv set that you will have to deal with,… -
Re: Different texture on newly cut polys
@perna, thank you for your reply. Actually, you seem to be correct in the case when "Explode by Elements" is not selected. This cuts the cube into smaller cubes and applies the cutter material to the new polygons. However, this also leaves all of the new cubes as one attached mesh and the only way I can think of to detach… -
Re: Modo normal map artifacts
Not a problem Streamdream. What problems do you have with the baking ? The best way is to create materials for model ( metal, plastic, chrome, etc. ) and in each material have edge roundness selection setup. That way you can control edge roundness and add extra textures, occlusions etc., that is only for example. metal.… -
Re: How would you create this lighting technique? (controlling light with geo intersection)
That article mentions 3 spheres, but I think it's really just one sphere rendered in 3 passes (each pass using different depth-test and stencil-test settings). These 3 passes are needed to build a "mask" on the stencil buffer that represents only the pixels you want to light up. Think of it like working with selections in… -
Re: MEL Script ordering issues
You can also use makeIdentity instead of performFreezeTransformations. It gives better control, so if you ever need to make it ignore translation, rotation, scale, joints, and/or normals you can do that by switching some values/flags. You should also be able to remove one of those Freeze Transformation commands by making… -
Re: [3ds Max] Question about working with grouped objects
You could also set the high poly objects to display as bounding box (right click, object properties) so you can still interact with them and move them around but they aren't slowing your scene down. Scripting the bounding box toggle would be pretty easy too. EDIT: Yep, crazy simple:( Cursel = selection as array for i=1 to… -
Re: nDo - Normal creation toolkit
Teddy: Feature suggested, feature delivered. Teddy, you are unbeleivable :o xXm0RpH3usXx: Not quite shure what you mean. Collapsing the normalmap and making it greyscale won't help me get a heightmap. Anyways, thanks for the effort of writing a script, will still have a look at it for suhre :D EDIT: @xXm0RpH3usXx: Is that… -
Re: [Papekura Designer] Multi texture problem!!
I remember that it was bitching with me back then, had to drag a texture directly on the object otherwise it would not export right and to long filenames or path names would result into a fail as well. Meanwhille I have heard that pekakura was improved but not radical changed. Another trick I have though for you is to… -
Re: I can navigate in Maya...Need UV & SKIN Tutorials
a couple things i have found to help speed the process up with key bindings created in the hotkey editor (you will need to create a new command for most of them): a Rotate left and right polyRotateUVs 45; polyRotateUVs -45; flip selected uv's vertically polyFlipUV -flipType 1 -local on; flip selected UV's horizontally… -
Re: 3D max shell act really weird
well, i would have said the same, see if everything is welded or see if there is anything welded which you didnt want to be welded if everything fails, remake it and see if it gets better. or you put another edit poly on top of the stack and just edit the verts that stick out... edit (over 10 years later, as I find this…
