Re: Graphic Design sub-forum?
In general sub-forums tend to be frowned upon here, for a few reasons: 1) They fracture the community and often hide posts that might get more attention. It's easy for the traffic in those sub-forums to drop off and look dead. 2) Proper naming of thread titles often replaces the need for sub-forums. For example we don't… -
Re: Max/Maya - Checking for Flipped UVs Script
Is there something wrong with using shaded UVs in Maya? Any backwards-facing shells will appear red. If you have mirrored/stacked UVs, they will be a sort of purple color (red mixing with the front-facing blue shells). I guess this is still manual but it's far more effective than inspecting a checker texture against your… -
Re: uvw pelt map script (3ds max)?
i understand that, i guess i'm terrible at explaining things. thing i was hoping for is a script out there that does the pelt mapping for you once you define seams and automates the process of pelt mapping for each uv shell. so you wouldn't have to grow selection to seams and hit pelt everytime for each individual shell. -
Re: Need help with smoothing/baking
Did some more searching a tests.. and it seems my problem is in the rotated UV shell. If I have UV shell split in half like on this blade, I should maintain same orientation in the UV space. Therefor i have to repack, rebake and do some of my texturing again.. Oh well.. Fun :D -
Re: Maxscripts - Stuffs I use and whatnot
Now, what i really wanted would be to make the script work when the Show End Result is toggled in with a, let's say, a shell modifier on top. When you put a shell mod, and go to the base editable poly and have the show end result turned on. if you try to you the tool, it spits out an error. -
Re: Character design project: Feedback appreciated!
Snail progress. Is the shape language ok like this? Soft body -> edgy shell? Too much contrast? Does it look strong and tanky enough? I wondered if I should add something shell-based to its arms like the armadillo. To emphasize the impression it can break rocks with its bare hands, like punching gloves. -
Re: Any help with Normals Artifacting - Castle Wall
Depends what your uv layout looks like. - You could split smoothing groups at the UV shells ( my favorite ) - You could keep it all on one smoothing group ( first option is better imo ) For option 1, you can run a script inside "TexTools" that splits the smoothing groups at UV shells. :) -

Re: Rounded corners filter in Substance Painter
I though this was done with UV shell mask too, and requires an SVG or bitmap. Anyone know if there is a way to access the UV coordinates via code magic and auto generate a UV shell mask? I guess that may be flawed the way Designer works, you'd need to feed it a 3D model in a node.... guess baking it out makes sense in the… -
Re: Some props and stuff
Working on a destructible AC unit. Some internals progress. The external lp and how the shell parts will be split. The outer shell will have some more geo so when they come off they could deform a bit. Test bake on externals with some nastiness around the top vent. Sitting at 950ish right now. With internals I'm aiming for…
