Re: Game prop practice
Try using a 2x2x2 FFD modifier, should help a bit with getting a smooth surface while angling it.. that or.. delete everything but the outer side and rotate it.. then exttrude the edges needed, add a symmetry modifier, and then a shell modifier and done. I don't think you should be all too worried about tri-counts or such… -
Re: Poly modelling low to high
Think about how the article would be made and split it up into those pieces but keep it as one model. Place a subdivide modifier on the model and increase subdivisions to 2. See what the modifier does to your model and add edgeloops where needed. dont apply the modifier until you are satisfied with the result. Without any… -
Turbosmooth question
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the turbosmooth modifier in Max. Do you use it to create hi poly geometry that then can be used to bake normals out for the low poly or is the modifier mainly used to just showcase high poly models. What I mean is that once I have all the supporting edges in place, can I place a… -
3D Max - Transmographier help
Hey, For any one that uses this modifier in Max. Ive been trying to get this to work but....it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've tried the following workflow. * Copying a symmetrical mesh. * Using the transmographier modifier on the original mesh and selecting the copied mesh as reference. * Selecting "Mirror" as the… -
Forcing quads question (3ds max)
Hi,I just used one of the HSDS modifiers to my object, and used the Force Quads option, but I worry something might come out wrong because of how odd some quads look like. (the vertex in seen in the middle is just one single vertex, not multiple jumbled up vertices) Also is there any better option to triangulate my object… -
Re: Need recommendations for most suitable 3D software according to my needs
Two alternative ways to what Pior shared: The Skin modifier. This has the advantage of forking Curves with a 'SphereCapCurve' modifier (can be found online, but I can send it if you DM me) -
Re: Is it just me or is Autodesk putting 3DS Max aside?
@Grimwolf You say that because you're used to that method of working. I've never had the want for modifiers, in the Max sense of the word. In fact, I always found the modifier system to be clunky, going from Maya to Max in college for a few months. But again, that's because I'm used to Maya's method of working. Modifiers… -
Re: Demon Creature - WIP
The easiest way IMO would just be to maintain your 3DS max modifier stack. If you make the low-poly, then add a new edit poly modifier for additional changes, turbosmooth, etc without collapsing, then you can make a cage later by duplicating the object, removing those modifiers, and using a push instead so the low-poly is… -
Re: [3Ds Max] Mirror tool braking mesh?
The mirror tool does a negative scale on your mesh, and flips the face normals. It's a bad way to work, because it creates an ugly transform, which causes other problems. You can solve a bad transform by using the utility Reset Xform and collapsing your modifier stack. The better way to mirror is to use the Mirror… -
Re: Transferring animations and rigs onto different LOD models?
Just use the Skin Wrap modifier. If you've never used it here's how: - apply the Sky Wrap modifier on the mesh without skin - in Parameters, click "Add" and select the skinned mesh - set Falloff to 10 - tick "Weight all Points" - Click "Convert to Skin" - Clean up the new Skin modifier created (it's just a projection it…
