Re: Maya 2015 vs. Modo 801 vs Blender
That I see is the same as pressing on the cogwheel icon on the upper right of the viewport (they moved these options from where I remember them). Anyway, the Orbit Selected is the contrary of what I meant. I intend a system that let you focus where you want independently of what you have selected. [ame]… -
Re: MaterialX & USD
It makes a lot of sense that Adesk have chosen aistandard and Max's physical material as a framework. Incidentally MtoA 3.2 and core 5.3 just released featuring: New menu Export Selection to MaterialX allows exporting the selected shading trees to a materialx document. It's also possible to append several looks to a single… -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #20 - OCTOBER
Aitnar, Portrait view uses Lod0, so it's possible your low is aligned and not your high? As far as Max, I have never been able to trust xforms so I have always done this: Delete skin modifier, Create a cube next to your model. Make it edit poly. Select it and attach your model (this renames your model, either rename the… -
Re: Dismal Mountains
A good tip for Unwrapping UVs in Maya is to select your object, then apply an Auto UV Unwrap. This should keep your texel density pretty uniform throughout. Then go through selecting edges and move/stitching them together in a way that makes sense. (For instance, selecting the edges of the steps one at a time and stitching… -
Re: anyone know how to render vertex alpha in maya mental ray?
- open the hyper shade - click on your objects material with right mouse button drag it down to graph network - now in the window below you should see a really simple material network. - open you outliner ( default h) - find your object - press the little plus on the left of your object ( might have to activate shape view… -
Re: UV mapping techniques
It depends entirely on the object as to the best way to unwrap it quickly and efficiently. Sometimes I'll use automatic unwrap and stitch. Sometimes I select a few edges and break then relax, sometimes I'll use pelt. Often with splines and other simple objects I'll leave it alone. I normally sort them into disorganized… -
Re: MAX TIP: moving from physique to skin.
I agree! The only thing that took some adjusting for me was the way you assign individual verts to bones outside of envelopes. I was used to just selecting the verts, hitting Assign to Link, and selecting my link in the viewport. Took some adjusting having select the bone in the parameters rollout, then the verts, then… -
Re: Roadkill live-pelting UV app
Marshall Banana: apparently yes, out to Max/Maya/XSI. Might go out to others via OBJ export, not sure. Fuse: It's a snippet of maxscript that relaxes the UVs that you have selected in UVW Unwrap. Paste that line into the pink area at lower left in Max (the Maxscript Listener), select that line of text, then drag it onto a… -
Re: Mel script Q
Highend3d is a phenomenal resource for MEL scripts. You might also want to check out cgtalk.com's Maya MEL forum -- they have a lot of good advice. cgtalk MEL forum However, in case you want to just copy one set of UV from one model to another, you can do the following: 1) Select the model you want to transfer the UVs… -
Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
@ZacD I'd swap out the RAM with a DDR5 6000 CL30 kit. At the very least you definitely want RAM with better latency then what you selected (CL = cas latency, lower = better).
