Re: Am I doing this right? (female character)
Does this actually work? I was under the impression that you couldn't do a simple conversion like this for every scene because ZBrush's perspective distortion is affected by the bounding box of your scene. Edit: Figured it out (maybe?) Still doesn't seem right but apparently the bounding box distortion is caused by the… -
Re: World UV Scale.
ya i managed to figure it out, though instead of a dot product for my mask, i just did a vector transform, on 0,0,1, masked out the red channel, than copied and masked out the blue, than did a abs on both of them. works pretty good, i just had to make some adjustments to my mask to make it blend better on rounded surfaces,… -
Re: image Manipulation Tool
my bachelor thesis is done and now i kind of see this program useless as is and i was toying with the idea of making it node based and transform it in some kind of compositor. with a bit of rework i could change the interfface and the modifiers that i made until now so they can be used as nodes here i made a quick gui… -
Re: What is the best way to put about 1mln rivets on a HP plane model?
Does max have the equivalent of animating along a curve and using that to space geometry? Maya has a procedure that I used once where I snapped curves to the geometry and snapped a rivet at the start of the curve. There is a setting that allows you to drop a copy of that geo at different frame intervals. That was on a… -
Re: White dots on normal map (3dsmax baking)
Models coming from Maya to Max often need their transforms reset. Did you try Reset Xform, followed by Collapse? Also could be the renderer you are using. Is it set to Mentalray? Go to Render Setup to see. Mentalray has had the problem of trying to render both the highpoly and the lowpoly model into the bake. I've also… -
Re: Maya 2017: Electric Guitar modeling [wip]
so while doing the springs on the back of the guitar i discovered a little trick that i would like to share : to make a tube with a 90 degree bend all u need to do is to start with a pipe/torus ( here i did it with a pipe ). - added edges to make an 8 sided cylinder ... - edit edge flow will average the edges to make the… -
Re: FBX support for CryENGINE3
I'll vouch for Seith's work seeing as he gave me some pointers developing this ;) Promised myself I'd work on the pipeline a bit today, and here we go, a first pass attempt (this is in no way/shape/form the final interface, just an idea of what I want it to do!): I also figured out the mystical matrices (I seriously hate… -
Re: Texturing tutorials?
OK OK I'm learning something today! So the workflow is this : Make a high poly for all the details then make a low poly which you will actually use for the game, and unwrap the low poly instead. So all the detail from the high poly is transformed, if you will, from polys to textures? Is that what "baking normals" means? I… -
Re: mopKnit v1.1 for Maya
Damn, it's been that long! Time passes so quickly :dizzy: By the way, I did find a solution, more of a workaround with Transform attributes. It does the same job...and I forgot to post it here... I''ll see if I can make some pictures in a couple of day. In any case, your script handles things like a breeze, unlike this… -
Re: Maya [python] mirror script help
The [0]'s are because the commands return lists and I just want the first object in the returned list. I.e. will only work with one object selected. The %s is compounding a string, the %s gets replace with the content after the last %(myObj in this case). Getting the scalePivot will get the objects position in world space,…
