Maya normal map cage distance
Hey, i'm trying to understand how baking normal maps in Maya works and i have a small question. I always thought that cage projections work with tracing rays between the lowpoly model and the outer cage. But as far as i have discovered, the rays also trace outside of the cage. As u can see on the images below, the beveled… -
snap verts to the sufrace of a different mesh?
3dsMax 9 Is it possible for me to snap the verts of the mesh i'm working on to a source mesh. Ie I am creating a low poly version of a high poly model, I'd like for the new edges I create, or verts that I move to slide along the surface of the highpoly model when I move them. I'm aware that polyboosts polydraw has this… -

I tried to rig my HP version with zspheres but i get weird particles and that same goes with… -
R2 Astromech
Its likely and almost inevitable that this will end up being R2-D2, but I kind of wanted to do a bigger exploration with this project of having the character in an environment, which made me think of doing contrasting versions, r2d2 in a Tantive IV, and an imperial astromech onboard a star destroyer. Just gonna start… -

MODO (PipelineIO) to SD/SP baking problem
HI, I'm having some issues with baking in SD/SP. I'm using a set of scripts called PipelineIO for MODO to export my low, cage and high. The cage is a Morph Map in MODO, PipelineIO is then exporting it as an OBJ. For some reasons painter crashes every time I tell it to use the cage, and designer is giving me completely… -
Hair-textures on same texture-map?
When dealing with hair i would do it like that: generate hair with xgen than render highpoly to lowpoly. But than again i realize that the character has eyebrows eyelashes too and probably also a visible scalp. Is it possible to have maps where all hair-things (hair, brows, lashes, scalp) are combined and not separated? I… -

My portfolio currently only has lowpoly mobile game character work in it, so Ive recently started doing a lot of sculpting practice. I decided I might as well give a… -
