Harden edge on smooth mesh in Maya
Hi, is their a way to get a hard edge after smoothing a model (smooth mesh preview)? The "preserve hard eges" checkbox seems to do nothing. And I don't mean closer edge loops but a real hard edge. Thanks in advance. -
Re: Edge placement, normal mapping and sub-d
If you want to subdivide, start by adding these edges (I only focused on the edge facing the camera, mirror it over to the other side, obviously). B is the better low poly, but A is the better start for a high poly. Have you even tried to subdivide either of these? Where you need to reinforce edges becomes much more… -
Selecting and Merging Open Edges (MEL)
I want to first select all open edges, but polySelect -eb doesn't select open border edges which I have numerous on my mesh, followed by merging those edges (MEL)polySelect -eb (missing a value)? polyMergeEdge -fe -
Max Smoothing groups vrs Maya Hard Edges
So I have been out of the 3ds Max game for a while due to using Maya at work and now that I am getting back into Max with some personal projects I have run into a snag. In Maya you can smooth an object and harden specific edges. In Max you assign entire faces to be smooth and separate things by different smoothing groups.… -
Modo Normalmap depths baking issue with Rounded Edge Shader
Hi, I recently tried to bake a normalmap based on a "Highpoly" which is actually the same mesh but with Rounded Edge materials. I created the sample mesh with MOP Booleans by W. Vaughan (http://pushingpoints.com/v2/the-pushing-points-mop-booleans-kit-for-modo/). Instead of fixing all the Ngons with nice loops etc. to get a… -
Parallel Edge in 3ds Max?
Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to create an edge parallel to another one? I have this arrow shaped object, but with connect I am not able to get a parallel line. Chamfer wont work for me either because I need that straight edge. The red line in the picture indicates where I would need my new edge. I hope one of… -
Re: Baking Problem in SP (Modelled in Max)
Hi! Hm, interesting that you checked in Max but normals are flipped in the fbx. A simple way to check, would be to re-import the exported fbx and check that everything looks as intended. Since its normals define in what direction a face is looking, I would say flipping faces and flipping normals describes the same outcome.… -
Polygons sharing edges
I don't know if this is a good practice, but can more than two faces share an edge? Like in this picture- I've tried doing something like that for one of my models, because there are only a few faces that need to overhang from an edge. Normally I would make a plane as a separate object and snap the vertices to the other… -
Brick Wall Edge Decal
Hey guys, i want to improve the look of my environment by using edge decals to give my brickwall a broken look at the edges. i made only some edge decals for concrete before so i searched for good examples at brick walls but i found non cool at corners. maybe you done sth like this before and give me some advides how to do… -
Hardening edges in Max
Hi guys, I had a quick search for this but I don't really know what terms to search, so hopefully someone can give me the answer. I used to use Maya, and you could select edges and under Normals hit 'Harden' or 'Soften' (or set the value to whichever you like) - which was really great. I'm struggling to figure out how to…
