Retopology on Fiddler
Quad Draw in maya offers a variety of features to streamline the retopology process. The Relax tool smooths the distribution of vertices, maintaining even spacing without distorting the shape. The Extend tool lets you quickly add new quads by dragging edges, speeding up the process considerably. Additionally, the… -
Re: Male Character Base
you're currently way too focused on sculpting all the different muscles, that you're ignoring or at least not paying enough attention to the overal shape and forms, as well as the proportions. if i were you i would stop trying to sculpt such a muscular body, and go for something a bit more average, which will force you to… -
Re: Different T-Pose advantages?
This is a discussion I have often heard. So what I have heard from different people: You guys are right, of course with what you said. I feel that a T-Pose is easier to rig (i may be wrong though). For deformations: Like Elyaradine said, if the character raises it's arms a lot (i.e. does all kinds of acrobatic moves) or… -
Re: 3d Max UI customization and Zbrush shortcuts
Well I did cgtalk. I will pass on the good and bad news. Can help some if us. akeissami said: [ QUOTE ] 1. Hmm, I looked too. Never noticed it before but unfortunately it's not there which means it isn't really possible to fit into a quad menu without programming in that function with maxScript or the SDK. I'm going to… -

Re: MAX/Photoshop workflow evolving for the future
Know thy tools is right. But even when you know Max and PS really well, you find there are deficiencies in the toolsets. Knowing what other tool are out there helps speed thing up. Some things you can work around, but it takes longer. Like painting out seams. Alt-tabbing between PS and Max might work OK for you, but it… -
Re: Hand Topology HELP
I always model my hands in a relaxed pose. The theory is that you should model all joints at 50 percent from either extent. This of course is not a practice used on all joints, but it certainly helps deformation. Putting your hands in a relaxed pose by default also helps avoid the 'mocap hands' look. That's when you have… -
Re: Newbie Character Modeling: Garnet
I'm not a good reference for advise, but maybe this helps with the topology: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Limb_Topology You are going pretty good if you want to keep it low poly, but I wouldn't recommend ignoring UV mapping if you really want to learn how to make a complete character. Maybe it's a bit tedious or… -
Re: Max not baking out top few pixels of maps
As a rule of thumb, you never want to use something that does slight overall distortion, like Pelt or Relax. At least not on straight, mechanical parts, it's unavoidable for some parts (like 1930's car wheel arches). I always unwrap vehicles with just Planar Projection, Flatten/Unwrap and some Cylindrical mapping, plus… -
Re: roman soldier
The pixel density is kind of unbalanced, by that I mean the squares you see on the model are not a consistent size. I understand the need to size some pieces up and some down according to importance but that doesn't seem to apply here? One of the fastest ways to normalize the pieces is to select everything and relax it. Of…
