Warped UV's in maya when creating cylindrical objects
Hello All, I am trying to figure out how to UV an object I am working on and running into a few issues. I have a cylindrical object that is more complex than just a cylinder. Every time I try and create the UV's with any type of mapping they always come out distorted as seen in the image. I am not sure how to lay these out… -
normal map issues with Max 2012 and rotating objects
I've got a few boxes with tangent space normal maps on them. Whenever I rotate one of them at the object or sub-object level, it starts lighting differently - ie, two flat planes will light completely differently, even if they're sharing the same texels, etc. I initially assumed that this was a qualified normals issue, but… -
Re: 3dsmax object placement noise?
Are you using 2011? Object Paint might be what you're looking for? [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwHJgfdOFDw[/ame] You should be able to do all you need here. I'm not sure if it will randomize them as you place them to the extent you're looking for, but you could just as easily clone them a few times and… -
Re: modo: mirror object and pivot
hmm I can get an object to mirror across with pivot position intact if I freeze it's transforms, but the pivot rotation is not mirrored. it's the same as the original, which is rubbish :/ in that second link, I'm not sure what he means in the second post: 'Playing with this more. In the animate tab I set the center of each… -
Re: Handling high poly objects in max
Adaptive degradation works more with large amounts of separate objects as they move away from the camera. It's not going to do much good when all those polys are in one object. If you don't need to see it, turn on display as bounding box (right click, object properties) or display a lower poly proxy mesh. There are a few… -
Re: UV the same exact objects once?
Well yeah but isn't unwrapping on the go a bit odd? My current workflow is making a low poly object, then high poly , then unwrapping, baking etc. It would be kind of annoying if I would have to unwrap every object that I want to duplicate and reuse. In this case yeah, "it's a hollow cylinder", but if It was a piece that… -
Solved: How to make Object Space Normal map auto-assigned?
Hey guys, I`m having a problem with auto-assigning Object Space Normal map. I can quick-load every other map(like AO,Curvature,and so on) in dDo, but Object Space Normal map. Could anyone tell me how to name it correctly? Thanks -
Max: RTT: Bake Issue with mirrored objects
With any of my mirrored objects in UV space I am getting artifacts. I have read you are supposed to leave the mirrored objects outside the UV square when baking. I have done so and that gives me artifacts, I have also tried experimenting and doing different combinations (listed below) with no luck. I have tried 1. Leaving… -
[Maya] Select only Components from active Object ?
Hey guys, i'm switiching from XSI to Maya - and one thing makes me sick: If i select one or two Objects the "Vertex, Edge, Face" selection should be only work on this. But evertime i accidentally select another "non-active" object - maya switch to it. I tried many combinations of the selections settings but without sucess.… -
Exporting X-reffed skinned/morphed objects in Max?
Just a quick theoretical thing - has anyone ever exported xref objects from Max that had a skin or morph target on them? For example you'd have a body file that you export from and the head would be referenced from another max file. I imagine that skinned objects shouldn't be too hard, but morphs might be more problematic.…
