Re: 3ds Max: Editting Vertex Normals Precisely
edit: didnt see you had a ref object. Yeah, copy paste will do. Else, average them with their own flipped model. The normals will lie on the YZ plane. Also you could attach the models, weld verts, add an edit normal modifier, make all normals explicit, collapse, then for each part, duplicate the object and delete unwanted… -
Re: Snap Toggle issues in Max
Looks like the difference is that he is using vert snap and his verts align with his geo. On your test, you look like you are attempting to snap your plane's edge to another edge. Which is a bit more tricky if you want it to be perfect. I would suggest one of two things: 1. Make some edge loops to add verts to the area you… -
Re: 3dsmax Quick and Dirty Workflow Tips!
the shortcuts for axis is F5 F6 F7 and F8 cycles through Planes XY, YZ, ZX but all you need to do is click on the arrow (or plane) and drag. I would have no problem consolidating, and thank you for liking it :) but i think the only thing i can do is, just copy paste the contents of other posts in mine but it is nice for… -
[Finished] Orc Catapult
Hello Polycount, hope you are all having a good day, Here is a catapult I've recently made: model The catapult roughly has about 5k triangles Some of the high poly sculpts were reused throughout the model. such as the horns, therefore they are missing in this sculpt. As for the rope, I done the high-poly separately in Maya… -
Zbrush - creating normals is giving weird results
I have no idea why Zbrush is doing this. I created a sculpt exported the low res out to 3DS Max, unwrapped it, reimported it. The UVW's show to be fine but when I render out Normal or Dissplacement maps faces look to be flipped or turned oddly. The only thing I have checked is flip yz axis and texture coords when going… -
Re: Invert Scale in Material World Position Offset?
i think you'd want to do this in the vertex shader really however... this "should" flip the point across the yz plane position - (2*position.x, 0, 0) Obviously you'd have to account for the object's position - which is fairly easy but then you'd have to account for orientation which is where things are going to get pretty… -
Re: Maya 2016 - Pivot snap alignment doesn't work anymore?
I noticed that too, they added a lot of cool stuff for editing the pivot but I couldn't figure out a way to do this either, it doesn't work with vertex snapping on a single axis either. I just added this to the Maya "Small Annoying Things" feedback site, so maybe it gets changed at some point.… -
[MAX] Middle seam closing.
First, don't worry I don't plan to make a thread about my maxscripts needs everyday :) Now, I was working with a small model today and wanted to know if there was a way in maxscript to shut mirror center seam ? I'm using align to x to make sure my selection is alright, and want to move it to x=0 (without changing the yz… -
Capturing Normal Map from 2.5D canvas in Zbrush
Hi there guys, I've been sculpting some simple textures in Zbrush, but I am very new to the software and would love to know a way to render/export the canvas as a normal texture with different YZ orientation - so far I tried applying NormalRGBMat and rendering without shadows, but the resulting colour information seems… -
Re: UE3 Materials: Is this kind of Translucent Material Possible?
I tried using the same World Projection method to make a material that will wrap around any tunnel surface, regardless of surface direction. I think I'm getting close to a good solution, but the blending is very awkward on surfaces that are not close to parallel with the XY, YZ, or XZ planes... I'll have to figure out how…
