Re: Just made the Switch to 3DSMax 2013
Instead of double tap, press 6 which is "object mode" it basically exits all sub-object modes (vert, poly, edge ect), but this also only works with KBSO turned on which is annoying, so you have to create a custom key bind with some simple maxscript. You don't need to be a scripting guru to start using maxscript to make… -
Re: SA80 British Assault rifle WIP - Too many polygones? C&C Requested!
What are the mistakes you can spot? Also, please tell me what I should of done instead. End loops that can be ended without changing the silhouette of the object How many pieces is considered acceptable for this type of model? I would have modeled the main pieces together, that saves on UVW space Is it easier for the… -
Re: LucasMichel's Work
Hey All, I'm trying my hand at creating a small script in Maya to better protect my models, but I've hit a bit of a snag. The script I'm working on is supposed to do the following: A - Duplicate the Selected Object. B - Move the Selected Object 10 units on the X axis. C - Create a new layer and Add the Selected Object to… -
Re: change colors of edges and verts in maya UV editor?
I spent a good hour trying to find this after being annoyed at how hard it was to see my edge selections on a white UV border. The slider for this is located in the color settings window (Window > Settings/Preferences > Color Settings) under the Active tab, Objects section, "Polygon surfaces." displayColor -c -active… -
Re: Best Practice Texture Settings for Normal Maps in UE4
The answer to your question depends upon the type of normal map you have created. Let me explain. A normal map essentially is a vector field stored in bitmap format. A Vector has a direction and magnitude that are described by its coordinates. In mathematics, the coordinate system occupied by a vector can be of many… -
Re: Dwarven Fighter
Donavonyoung: Thanks man. dogzer: lol, sorry to disappoint, but this is just a side project I started up on my own. Here's an update on the armor. I'm through with all of the major plates of armor and have done a little bit with hinges and rivets. Still have to get all the straps done, and then I plan to experiment with… -
Re: Max : Turn off sequential numbering when duplicating
Each object has a unique ID number, the name is just a property that YOU see. Max sees "object 345678" Which happens to be a box with a property called "Box001". You can have two objects with the same name property just like you can have a box with identical height parameters. You don't have to worry about max mixing… -
Re: Custom 3d grids in max?
Yes that would be amazingly helpful to have custom deformable grids, however that would more than likely destroy the grid as a measurement device. You can use Grpahite Modeling tools > Free form > draw on object > Pick Target Object. You can use a handful of tools, I wish all of the tools worked with an active snap system,… -
maya- merge 2 files with the same group structure
not sure if this is easy or I'm going to need some kind of script- basically I have 2 maya files, each with a group/parent structure set up with identical groups and naming, and each group has various objects underneath them. I want to merge the files, so if both files have a group 'bolts' and underneath that lots of… -
Re: 3dsMax: Make Planar coming out crooked
If you use any of the transform(i.e.:xform) tools (Move, Rotate, Scale, Mirror, some others) these affect the object at a higher level than if you were to go into sub-object mode and move/rotate/scale and do it inside there. So you rotated and squished the model, this changes the orientation and scale bounds of the object.…
