Re: What's the Best Way to to make Filigree and Ornamental 3D Objects?
A month ago i would have considered it crazy talk had someone told me i would be modeling in Blender soon. But i must say i'm very pleasently surprised by the program. Ther's some kickass addons around for it (hardops, bsurfaces, f2) and has some solid tools out of the box. It reminds me of Modo actualy in a way, in that… -
Re: Maya Cinema Standard Facial Rig
Hi. I hope that you share here what you end up discovering, I'm also interested in this subject. I've seen some people recommending the "Stop Staring" book, for either games or film, it's a start: http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470609907.html There's also some presentations for games like from Autodesk… -
Re: 3d studio max bones
No need to use the bone system/tools for a vehicle rig. You can use almost anything as a bone in Max. Dummies and other Helpers work well. Laurens Corijin has a good vehicle rig tutorial here: http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/create-an-advanced-drifting-car-rig-in-3ds-max-day-1/ For Max Bones in general,… -
Re: Maya MEL Script help needed (UV border edges)
I never post anything on Polycount, but I just had to log in and write you all a BIG THANK YOU! I am working on a very complex model with hundreds of UV-seams that I had to harden, without any result at all selecting them through convertion. This saved me several hours of work and tweaking, as the bake became flawless… -
Re: Maya = Modeling?
Beside new updates and additions to modeling tools I would really like for NURBS to also get more attention! It has been a while since some real updates on making surfaces in Maya. It would so great if those are more reliable and robust. No need for "Alias" type of complexity, but I guess Maya wouldn't mind more love in… -
Re: Maya 2015 : bug reverting Uv's modification at export + de-assign material
Hi, So you may have find something to dig on further... I tried to save as a .ma and got this error line : // Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2015/scripts/others/performFileAction.mel line 434: File contains unknown nodes or data. To preserve this information, the current file type cannot be changed. // Also, I… -
Re: Smoothing groups, Tangents and Binormals, Triangulate
@pior Thx for the tips, I do understand the basics (split vertex normal, baking raycast, when to triangulate low... etc.) My question is specifically this: https://forum.allegorithmic.com/index.php/topic,19167.0.html (I am posting on Allegorithmic forum because ultimately the question is about SP). BTW, to all, we have 2… -
Re: Trouble with normal maps
Do you have gamma correction in 3dsmax enabled? It shouldn't be. Does Xoliul's shader even work with 3dsmax2013? I know Autodesk changed some things around in an update and broke viewport shaders. You shouldn't be viewing your normal maps in Max's viewport anyway as it is terrible. You should take the model into an engine,… -
Re: Ctrl+Alt+MMB zoom - does not work?
Move your 3dsmax.ini file to a different spot and then restart max, that will reset max to its default settings. If it works you know the problem is with a setting inside of max. If not you might as well put it back. The file can be found in the 3dsmax folder in "program files" and if it isn't there, its… -
Re: Can a Maya user make it in the games industry?
Plenty of game companies use Maya. Insomniac, Lightbox Interactive, to name a couple. Max is a staple and widely used. haiddasalami makes a good point. What is in your folio is what matters, and if you can prove you can model, crossing over isn't a big deal and not a giant deciding factor on your employment. Maya was made…
