Corforming one mesh to the bend of another w/o deformation
Hey guys, I was wondering what the best way to go about having the purple lattice in the pic below conform to the bend of the selected polys on the other object. I tried the FFD modifier, but it caused too much stretching, and the bend too proved to inaccurate. Or am I just going about this the wrong way? -
Teach me
Okay, guys. I trust your advice and skill more than anyone I know on this subject. I'm rusty, 2 years of oxidization. I'm very behind, as you all know. I need you guys to help me out, to point me in the right direction. Links to tutorials, explanations, anything you can do to help me out. Couple of questions: -I've seen… -

Modo 501
Modo 501 has arrived! :) Has anyone had a chance to mess around with it? Any first impressions? I'm trying to resist just purchasing it because I'm a bit poor atm... though I'll probably give in sooner or later. From what I know it has a some new features that may prove useful to us as game artists: 1. Smoothing Groups are… -
3DMAX 2010: Is it possible to scew uv's similiar to photoshop transform tools?
Just as the title reads. I'm mapping to a pre-created map and being able to adjust Uv's similar to to how photoshop allows transforms would be great. I know I could transfer the uv's to polys and then warp them using ffd's etc. but I want to know, is there something out there that lets me do it in the UV editor? Thanks, -… -
MatchMaker in Max?
Sup guys, i saw this video about this new(?) feature in Zbrush called MatchMaker Brush. You can use it for forming one surface to the contours of another. I already did similar things in max with the Bend- ,Path Deform- and FFD-modifier but this worked only on simple shapes. Is there some way or maybe a modifier in max… -
Drawing with markers
My teacher tells me we have to draw with markers because that's what all the pro designers do. Can someone tell me if this is really needed in the game industry. I personally think it's pretty rediculous. You can draw with pencils or photoshop way more efficently if you ask me. But really... drawing with markers I just… -

Replacing 3dsmax's Modeling / UV mapping? Software recommendations please
Hi polycount. I learned to model on 3dsmax (and a little gmax, back in the day) and while I'm fairly literate in a lot of 3d software, I've always come back to max for modelling (because of the tools) and UV mapping (mostly just because I'm used to it.) However, I work for a fairly small company right now where I have some…
