Re: Setting bone weights in Maya for a robot
Or just use the "Flood" button in Paint Skin Weights, with mode set to Replace and the value set to 1. Then you can just select 1 vert, convert to shell (CTRL + right-click, choose To Shell to get the whole element - way faster than grow selection), and hit Flood with the required joint selected. Basically doing the same… -
Re: How to get multiple objects on one UV map?
Yeah, as long as the two objects have the same # of vertices, and the vertices are in the same order. Basically, if you can use them as morph targets, then the UVs can be copied. You can also copy UVs from one selection of faces to another, on the same object. Like say you UV one bolt on a machine object, then you can… -
Re: Importing/exporting problem with Unreal 3
1. the exporting of objs from the editor is freaking buggy, but you need to select all on the mesh you want to export, kind of like a face selection, and export selected. and for some reason the objs seem to work best if you use maya 2. i dont understand, cant you just export the mesh you want from max as ase and import… -
Re: UV Grid slice tool??
Any selection you make in the UVW Unwrap modifier can be saved as a MaxScript int array: fs = $.unwrap_uvw.getSelectedFaces() You can 'paste' this integer array as a face selection in your Editable Mesh using this command: $.selectedfaces = fs Then, in the Editable Mesh use the Detach tool to create a new element. If you… -
Re: Zbrush extrusion question
A quick test on a plane shows that the general Subtool Extract option would work (and includes both sides + polygroups). Panelloops should also work, though you'd have to drop the bevel and polish settings to preserve the shape. You could also select a zsphere, Topology: Select Topo to select your plane, and then boost the… -
Re: Practice Modeling
just simply select all the pipe faces in face more and then you can UV amp the selection, then put an editable poly stack onto of the UV map once the pipe is done and make a new selection for UVmap ect. (somtimes u need to collapse the stack if it is getting too big, it will cause issues with your hotkeys) I can take some… -

Re: Advice with clothing texture seams
If you want to try pins + live unwrap mode in Blender make sure you marked seams first or did UV>seams from islands . Pin a few points with P , check in "live unwrap" in UV menu , then grab a pinned point and try to move it . After that it's pretty much self explaining . It's not designed to exactly straighten islands but… -
Re: Ctrl + Backspace - Remove not working ...
I use mostly customized max hotkeys - I pulled this section out you can use. 1) Run the macros 2) Set rRemove under category Robot to a hotkey It doesn't do the exact same as the max remove -- It won't remove a vert from an edge if the angle around it is < 170 degrees. To change the degree number, change the section in red… -
Re: Photoscan to Zbrush: Can't create subdivisions
Thanks Michaelf, that seems to have worked fine. Thanks, Gnoop. I tried that but it caused some issues with texture blurring in the later steps. My workflow ended up looking like this: Photoscan to ZBrush Workflow 1. Export model to .obj (.FBX export with textures works until the end when the textures appear to blur, so I…
