Re: Unreal Developer Kit - MASTER THREAD
Alt+Middle click to where you want it. OR... right click on the mesh and see the nice "Pivot" sub-menu under Transform. Now this is ONLY for stuff in the scene. You want to change your pivot for all, just re-export the model with where you want the pivot on 0,0,0. -
Re: Oblivion movie EPIC! Go see it!
Saying that the plot was dumbed down suggests that it was at some point more intelligent. Nice visuals and design, but the plot, and the plot twists where ripped directly from better sci-fi movies. The plot twists where blatantly foreshadowed, and it really didn't feel like it had anything to say. I just hope Elysium is… -
Re: Maya mel script - move selected vertices to 0 on x axis
What Axi5 said that one little line will do. If, however, you still want to know how to select move pivot to the origin and freeze transformation you really don't have to switch selection mode back and forward from Object to Component. The trick is that all you need is somehow to get the name of the object while you still… -
Re: [Maya] Tank tread with mash
If you set it up right, this is what it should be doing. Notice the orange and pink pieces are separate from the tread. The pivot for the orange piece is at the vertex center of the orange screw. The orange is parented to the green. The orange has an aim constraint and is looking at the blue pivot. The pivot for blue is at… -
Re: Character Studio Get Funky
Select a foot, then go into the "Key Info" rollout and then expand the "IK" section of it. Click the "Select Pivot" button and you'll notice a bunch of blue dots appear in the foot. Each of these are pivot points you can select and use. Its good to keep the pivot the same through the animation as well. You'll get better… -
Re: Quickly aligning angled vertices?
In 3dsmax 2k8 and higher there is hardly a need for helper pivot "objects" instead check out the "Working Pivot". Having an alternate pivot point thats only a keystroke away is a bit faster then setting up helpers. I'm not saying its a total replacement for helper objects but its another option in recent versions people… -
Re: Problem with parenting weapon for animation
If the dev is animating the shears through code, you`ll want the pivot of the two objects to be where the screw would be in the sheers. the pivot point. Depending on the engine, that pivot point may need to be the 0,0,0 point. so half the sheers are below the origin, half are above. but ya, just dont combine the pieces. -
Re: ZBrush Symmetry for a square object.
When I was making the pillar in Max, I went to the adjust pivot option and hit "Affect Pivot Only" and then hit the "Center to Object" option. The pivot centered itself. Then I hit the GOZ button and brought it into ZBrush. Is that the problem? Do I need to reset XForms or something like that? I'm just confused... -
Re: How do I reset transformations after freezing them in Maya
additionally to mentioned solutions above, try the pivot tools in bonus tools. There is tool to snap pivot to bottom or top x,y,z, then snap to origin and zero local values. So, if the two objects are the same (except ones high poly), you do a snap pivot to bottom y on both and then snap to origin, and they'll match… -
Re: Max co-ords not showing
I've had that happen to me a few times. I can't remember what caused it but restarting max fixed it. It might have been caused by having the pivot set to local or I might have been using working pivot when it dorked out... Edit: err yea local pivot it is I guess. HA!
