Are you using Vista? Does your mouse have horizontal scrolling on the scroll wheel? Some of my objects and subobjects in Maya were mysteriously moving small increments away from their initial positions, even when I had been sure to have snapped them to the origin. I found out that Vista has enabled by default (and you…
Cool stuff Eric, I didn't know about that at all! I wonder if the strokes method is exposed to maxscript enough (at all?) to be able to use it to detect mouse angle based on the rotation of a perspective viewport... that sounds immensely complex though :P Edit: Also, having given it a quick try, it seems rather cumbersome…
*Quick update* Youtube: Test of joints, me checking out how some of the stuff rotates Edit: Yeah, the topology is far from optimized. Please bear with me on that I hope the joints read better now. Haven't done more work on the textures yet. Will do tomorrow. Redid the arms somewhat, chopped them up and threw in 3 cylinders…

I have a bunch of objects in my scene that use custom vertex normals (for chamfered edges) that appear to be breaking the lightmaps. They are coming out looking like they are at a way lower resolution than what I set for the mesh (256-512), and also it looks like the normals are inverted, which I know for a fact they are…
HI, Im trying to model from a poly-plane in Zbrush so I can create a normal map for a tileable rock texture. I have turned off Transform>Modifiers>Xyz and changed the switches next to it so that only Z is active to clamp all editing to the Z axis, so it will be impossible to move points in the XY directions. This has…

Longtime user of Zbrush, although I was on a long break so I've forgotten a few things. Youtube helped with some of it but since I'm deaf, some of the captions/subs were weird or not helpful. 1- How do I cut objects? The slice/trim/clip tools don't appear to work anymore. All they do is mask the subtool. I probably toggled…
