(Fixed) [Maya] Bug in Automatic UV Mapping tool?
I am making some simple modular pieces and found out one of the model's UV shells are stretched. But I have created UV for many similar pieces, all starting from Automatic UV mapping (then Cut, Sew, Unfold, Straighten, Layout etc.) This is the first instance of it happening, and it's happening only to some of the UV… -
Re: Turn a Cylinder to a Tube.
Tube primitive? Or like bbob suggested, delete the end caps and shell it. Seriously if you need help with that, you need to spend some more time working with the software, checking the Help Doc that comes with it and doing basic tutorials that come packaged with the software. If you want a step by step tutorial on how to… -
Re: A Boy and his Monsters {Character WIP}
Nope no AO in the diffuse, Im sticking to a PBR work flow. The nails looking dirty was intentional. Does it look like overkill? As for the hair, I going to lay out alpha cards this week to get something more believable and put aside the alpha shells for now. Me being me I'll probably try and find another alpha shell based… -
Re: Xnormal AO issue
The whiter shell is a separate piece of geometry floating on top of the panel? Looking at the UV shells at that lower panel, I don't see any darkened borders, did you bake this exploded out? Also, I don't see much shading on the outer areas where it meets the lip of the paneling. (I hope this is descriptive enough, having… -
Re: Baked Normal map has a seam I don't know how to fix
not 100% sure since you didnt post your UVs, but i might have come across this issue in the past. the solution i've found(there might be others out there) was to not rotate the uv shells after i cut the seam and if possible also straighten the seam on the U or V axis. preferably snap to a pixel edge as well, but that might… -
Re: Baking Normal Maps in more than 1 Uv range
one way would be; arrange the shells horizontally in 1/2 the o-1 space then select the shells and use polygons> normalize (scale them slightly inward after this) after that save out your uv snapshot as a 256x128 save and bake- when you apply your maps you could also toggle the Image>use image ratio to see a non stretched… -
Re: Does water damage your computer?
If it works after you cleaned it up you should be Ok. The main problem is rust and corrosion forming on the PCB and shorting something out. I've repaired PC's that have been in bars that have had numerous beer spills on them, in most of those cases it wasn't the drink spill that caused the problem. It salt water you have… -
Re: Setting bone weights in Maya for a robot
Or just use the "Flood" button in Paint Skin Weights, with mode set to Replace and the value set to 1. Then you can just select 1 vert, convert to shell (CTRL + right-click, choose To Shell to get the whole element - way faster than grow selection), and hit Flood with the required joint selected. Basically doing the same… -
Re: What about bringing back the Brawl Contest?
Not to re-bump this BUT i had an idea i thought people should at least read:(consider) How about we, Wildly attempt something possibly amazing? 1st ever challenge that becomes a "indie" game under the title of the challenge? Having all aspects of "development", be the dev of the game? which will fuel the forums again, make… -
Re: [Lightmap UVs] ~ How can I handle a very large asset with very little contiguous surfaces?
Just auto unwrap it. And make sure the uv gutters are wide enough to minimize bleed. And make sure the lightmap baker adds padding in the gutters. You can increase the angle threshold for unwrapping more contiguous UV shells. Can reduce tiny isolated shells, but increases distortion. 512 is pretty low lightmap for an asset…
