Re: how to scale a rig?
I did this just recently.. i think my workflow was to save the skin envelope (lower part of the skin modifier rollout somewhere, delete it, group the rig and the mesh together, scale, reset xform on the mesh and reapply a skin modifier and load the saved envelope data. I am probably forgetting that one crucial step,… -
Re: Local scaling/separate chunk scaling?
I do wonder why you have all the boxes in one mesh though, why not instance them and only edit one? Then again, I also don't know what the purpose for your geometry is :-). But, if I have to choose, I would have gone with perna's solution on this, it's indeed the better (if not best) way to do this. Alternatively you could… -
Re: sci-fi paneling
The easiest way to model that stuff, at least for me, is to model an area with a plane, cut in the panel shapes, detach them from each other, and add a shell modifier. Then when you add the turbosmooth you'll get that bevel, which you can control the tightness of by adding segments via the shell modifier. Of course, it… -
Re: Substance Designer - Master Thread
Hmmm, that is odd. My viewport claims it has less than 2 mil. It might have something to do with the way multires modifiers work vs classic subsurf. I'll have a look and see what's up. Appreciate you taking the time for this. EDIT: After slapping some decimate modifiers on the HP and removing all but the scissors it's… -
Re: 3DS Max Performance
Depends on your system, what shaders you're running, what your viewport display settings are set to, if you have backface culling turned on, how long your modifier stack is, what modifiers you have applied, how many views you have active and what they are set to... Tons of stuff to tweak. Also 2k8 and 2k9 had pretty big… -
Re: edge straighten maxscript
I added a dialog which optionally lets you use fixed distances for the outer vertices, a distance of 0 will use regular projection length for those as well (as default). EDIT: did a new version 0.8 size of edge series affects outcome for 1 edge it is turned to a loop of 3 edges, and then modified for 2 edges, simple… -
Using vrayfur with splines
There any way of using Vray Fur in 3ds max with splines instead of just maps? I managed to use splines thru the default "hair and fur modifier (wsm)", applying a mr shader with vray hair material and the effect tab/hair and fur using mr prim. In the link there's a example With VrayFur (right) the tip of the hair seams more… -
Vertex color HSV/contrast/levels in Max after collapse?
Are there any tools for editing vertex colors' HSV/MinMax, after collapsing the stack? The VertexPaint modifier is great for editing vertex colors, but HSV and Contrast and Levels only work on colors stored directly in the modifier, not colors that have been collapsed into the mesh. I found an old script from Kelly Snapka,… -
Maxscript Access Rollout/UI Elements in Utility Panel
Hi friends, i searched forever but found nothing. When i go into the Utility Panel and click "More..." and e.g. "Assign Vertex Colors" then i get some nice options. I want to change these options via MaxScript. But not via any modifier because at this point there's no modifier. It will be assigned as soon as you press the… -
Creating a looping flag animation in Max?
Hi everyone, I've done a search on these boards but couldn't find what I'm looking for. Any unfortunately, Google wasn't my friend today because the only useful tutorials I found are not for Max. I basically want to create a looping flag animation using the Cloth modifier. The modifier is applied to a plane. This flag…
