Re: maya UV layout issue :[
first, on the cleanup, you should do normals and geometry, not geometry alone. this will conform the normals as well. with backface culling on, you should see a notable difference. you shouldn't delete the geo... cleanup is supposed to be fixing this for you. you probably have some crazy history debacle going on. have you… -
Re: Point light (shader?) issue
Gamedev is correct. The main thing is that UE3 considers faces with no assigned smoothing group number to all be part of the same smoothing group. So if you made a box in MAX, selected all surfaces, and cleared its smoothing information it will display as hard-edged in MAX but completely smooth in UE3. To fix this without… -
Re: iTunes issues
a;ksfd;lasdfj;alksj big images are in fact, not fun. P: Itunes isnt that bad press control - b to open the browse window, this should always be open. While your at it, disable Genre browsing in the main preferences... unless you have 50 billion songs through the most eclectic genres ever and neeeeeddddd it. From that, you… -
Re: Shimmers Maya Questions
Daz, yeah the geometry is pretty much high detail polywise and the whole thing is more complicated. So, to make it a bit simple: what I need is like having Uvs from, lets say a cube with a size of 1x1x2 gridpoints. Now, I want to toss over a box map, but every side (also the 2 gp sized side) has the same density. Thats the… -
Re: Help Needed! - Maxscript FBX Exporter and Vertex colors .fx shader
A friend just told me that I need double backslash for folder, that was the problem! The script is now exporting but not the selected objects.. it exports everything... any help on that part? ( --hard code paths... exportFolder = "C:\\Dropbox\\raw_data\\misc" exportFileName = ("temp.fbx") -- Add "Edit Poly" modifier to… -
Re: Lagging Problem: Is it possible to put static meshes in groups/layers?
Yes, you can add meshes/prefabs/lights/terrain/particles/whatever you can select in the editor to a layer. They work similar to layers in Photoshop, where you can lock or hide layers and only work on what layer is visible. Just select what you have in the scene and right click, then go down to "Level". It should have… -
Re: Student looking for critique
Assuming that seam is just not perfectly placed vertices on the 0 X coordinate, here's what you do. 1) Grab all the edges that you need to be centered. 2) Select> Convert Selections > To Vertices 3)Put "0" in the X coordinate box (the Coordinate boxes are to the right of the quick render icons ABOVE the shelf.) >> Your… -
Re: aplying z brush normal map?
I'm sorry, I apparently missed a step. In the material editor, click "bump", then select "normal bump" from the list. Once that is done, the material editor will show 2 empty slots, one says "normal" and one says "additional bump" Click the box next to "normal". This will bring up another list, this time select "bitmap"… -
Re: Where do I start learning Zbrush?
They moved it for Zbrush 4 as they made quite a few changes to selections/masks (added clipping brushes, strokes, the ability to move the selection as you draw it). Hold Ctrl to activate the masking tool, and then go to the brush or stroke menu. You can change the stroke there (lasso, rectangle, pen, circle, etc). If have… -
Re: Baking/Smoothing Groups Question
I think we're mixed up here. :tongue: I have my smoothing groups assigned, THEN I uvw modifier, select faces by sg, and project/unfold and done... I don't assign a smoothing group while unwrapping, if that is what you are thinking. Basically, I assign SG's prior, so it's easier for me to select faces, rather than manually…
