Re: Saving skin from a high poly to a low.
Use Copy Skin Weights. Select all the joints that are weighted to your high-poly mesh, and bind them to the lower-poly one (regular Smooth Bind method). Then select your high-poly mesh, followed by your lower-poly mesh (the order is important!) and do Skin -> Edit Smooth Skin -> Copy Skin Weights. Default settings should… -
Re: Quadro FX 4500
it's too pricey. under the hood it's a slightly enhanced geforce series. if you're using max, a quadro could be very interesting because of maxtreme. but better choose a lower-end model. for big scenes, your machine will most likely be CPU- and RAM-bound anyway. use display layers, isolate selections to work on, hide what… -
Re: Speed Model Thread TIMELESS AND DATELESS FOR UNTIL THE END OF TIME
get the subtool master plugin (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=57154&highlight=subtool+plugin ), select the head and extract it to it's own subtool, select inverse with your mask and extract the body (make sure extract thickness is 0 in both though) this will separate the meshes and you can subdivide the… -
Re: never used SSS before...
To use SSS you need to render with Mental Ray. Open your Render dialog window and change the renderer to mental ray. Now when you go to the Material Editor, select a new material and click the Standard button in the top right, you should see some new material types with different coloured spheres next to them, just select… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
need a little help if anyone has a moment. i'm coming from a maya/modo background so i'm a little lost. i'm ok with each step and can set up the scene. my only problem is with the material (it might be a maya/max lingo thing). am i making the changes to a single standard material ball? 4) Click on your first material and… -
Re: Where can I edit multiple PBR textures at same time?
There is no software where you could do it easy and simple. If you mean re-compositing textures by moving something. Substance painter - easy working with multiple channels at once but you can't move anything precisely say 32 pixels right . But if you do it in twice of target resolution it still could be a choice. I am… -
Re: why does decimation master give better result than prooptimizer? ive heard they have same algorithm?
i manually hid a selection of faces, there is no "hidden geometry button", per se, i manually hid a selection of faces for illustrative purposes. "pocket" is my own term i'm using to describe the artifact, a mistake, unwanted cavities, or internal floating geometry like this can happen sometimes when dynameshing. slug is… -
Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
Largely financial value and from an individual standpoint. Traditional art tends to have strong financial value because each piece is one of a kind and the artist is often selective in terms of what they put out there. Usually the selectiveness tends to involve pieces that are reflective of the artists vision for what they… -
Re: Are there similar tools in 3DS Max like in Blender?
For 0:50 it looks like a standard falloff brush or soft selection. Soft Selection has its own panel in the Editable Poly menu. Alternatively if you want to use a deformation brush go into the Ribbon (aka Graphite modeling tools) > Freeform > Shift. For 8:05 just looks like basic edge transforms, extrude, and bend. Extrude… -
Re: [MAXScript] Editable Poly vs Edit Poly
Hey miauu, if using those somehow it run both of the codes, so after bridge it then connect it and that's not what I really want; is either bridge (on open edges) or connect (on closed edges). Is it possible to achieve that? I did try to use array and compare both of these two;edgeSel = $.modifiers[#Edit_poly].GetSelection…
