Re: Knald - Master Thread
Decimation probably isn't the best method for this as the petals are so thin. I would do something similar to the following: * Import he HP rose and make a duplicate * Select the duplicate to be your LP mesh * Manually assign UV seams so that the back side of each petal is isolated from the front with the seams going… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rhyl Mayes
Oh man this is really good info, kind of embarassed I didn't think of this. Fixing it is really easy. Just apply an edit normal modifier to your stack, turn on select by face, and select your flat surfaces, then click the average selected button it will make the vertex normals all face the correct direction. You'll have to… -
Re: Reference image viewer - PureRef
Hey, thanks both of you for trying it out, I'm glad you like it! Crop and scale already exist, you can find them both in the keybinder. By default, scale is Ctrl+Alt+LMB. Cropping is done by selecting the image/s you want to crop, then holding down the 'C' key and using the selection rectangle to specify what part of the… -
Re: Unwrapping tools
Are you talking about the Ring and Loop buttons that are in Selection Parameters inside of UnwrapUVW? Or the edge loop button inside of the Unwrap Editor window right next to the paint selection tool? Select loop and ring, can also be added to the quad menu, and bound to keys. I think its entirely pointless to use a 3rd… -
Re: Unwrapping tyre treads
You're right, I've added it as a bump map, good spot :) I've just read up on this and saw this on a tutorial: Now go to 3dsmax and open the Material Editor (M). Select a new slot and go to the Bump slot. First set the amount to 100 (the default is 30). Click on the None button and from the window that apperars select… -
Re: Weird crease
yeah that is a duplicate vert, duplicate edge, or one of those weird faces that are sharing 2 edges or something, if you where to smooth it you would prob start seing what the error actually is. Suggestion, merge verts in that area, or try to select and delete that edge, and if its a face try to delete it. If it wont let… -
Re: How to mirror my actions to all parts of same shape.
Instancing is when you make a copy of the object, you have a selection window of what you want that copy to be. I forget of the top of my head but i know Instancing in 1 of the options you can select that when you make your "nuts/bolts" copies select instancing and call them clone1 2, 3, 4 ect and keep the original name… -
Re: Maya UV scaling tiling gap / offset problem
Hello Zarakun, Thank you for the tips, I haven't 100% respected what you said, because I really only wanted to scale everything and not move a point or a row separately, but you gave me the ideas and the solutions to get the alignments I wanted ! that's how I did : - Select the Shell - (use automatic mapping to be sure to… -
Re: Scripting beginner :)
Nightshade UV Editor 2.0.1 has this feature. Select an edge or two UV's and run "Orient Edge". See my signature for the download link. If you still want to code this yourself then you need to calculate the arc tangent in degrees. You will get a result ranging between -90 and +90 degrees - which is the value that you need… -
Re: Deforming a plane to fit geometry
you can use a lattice to do this. In max they are called FDD modifiers. Another way is to draw a spline and then use the path deform modifier on it. This may work but cause a crap load of stretching. Select the faces were the maps is supposed to be, detach as clone to a new object. Make a copy of it by hitting shift click…
