Re: Practice texturing skill
Clouds can sort of work, if you then select each brick and rotate/flip to get back some seams. Though it might be simpler to just select a few bricks (unconnected ones) and run clouds, then select another few and again, until you've had all. -
Re: Unwrap UVM modifer Troble I Use Tex Tools
It's probably not disappearing, but shrinking down to where you can't see it. A good way to check this is to select everything that is still visible (Don't just marquee select an area- ctrl click on individual shells) and then invert the selection. Resetting your Xform usually fixes it-- in my experience. -
Re: Nice feature update in Maya 2008 extension 2
Hmm, thank god they finally put soft selection in. Soft Modification tool was just about the worst implementation of a soft selection thing I've ever seen Multi-selection should be nice. Will have to see if we can get this update at work, should be useful. -
Re: Mental Ray AO is all black.
More then likely the UV pieces need to be flipped. If you're using 3dsmax go into the UVEditor window, select face mode, click Select > Select Inverted Faces. Flip anything it highlights. If you used the mirror tool it inverts your UV's and they always need to be flipped. -

Re: Help MELscript - component editing
manipPivot -p repositions the gizmo of your component selection in world space. xform -ws -piv repositions the gizmo of your object selection in world space. I don't think there's a way to move a shell selection to world space with a single command that also retains component spacing. -
Re: [Maya] Convert triangulation to quads
I use Modo, but maybe Maya has something similar. It has a useful edge selection tool called diagonal which selects the diagonals you need to remove to go back to a quads mesh. It's not perfect but it does a good 80% of the job, the selection needs to be adjusted by hand. -
Re: Maya help.:S
Looks like you've turned on soft selection. Double click the select (or translate/rotate/scale) tool on the left toolbar and in the tool settings palette uncheck soft selection. I'm not a regular Maya user so I don't know what the hotkey is, or if there even is one by default. -
Re: Interface Work - How to convert layers to alpha...
I do some interface work too, using layer effects sometimes. I made an Action for that does the Vig thing, works really well. New Layer Merge Duplicate Set selection Set channel Alpha1 to selection Delete layer Set selection to none -
Re: [3ds Max] How The F*#% Do I Make This Faster?
Without scripts: Extrude the border, select the newly extruded faces (ctrl-clicking the face level to convert selection from edge to face), switch back to edges and delete the selected loop for cleanup. Free script alternatives: Extend Surface (UI-less) Extend Borders (with UI)
