I'm animating this stock model that was given to me and I do the animation in another file so it plays smoother (the mesh is kind of heavy). But when I import the bip file, the mesh doesn't adjust to the new animation but it gets all over the place.Is there any specific pipeline I should do this?
View 1 RepliesAs it stands in the view there are multiple cylinder objects that make up the grid. I would like to export to probably .obj so that I can later import to OpenGL ES. Is there a way to join all the objects into a mesh and then export to some file format condusive to import to OpenGL ES?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a non-destructive way to import a mesh and then work on it symmetrically in Max? I'm not having a ton of luck looking on the net (though it may well be my search criteria). I need to work on a symmetrical mesh that I've imported but the symmetry tools all seem to create geometry or require I cut mine in half. I'm missing something, right?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly that has somewhere a hole with a round bar that exactly fits in this hole. But when meshing the assembly, the mesh of the hole and the mesh of the bar are different.
The result is that the different parts do only seem to touch each other at the edges of the mesh, resulting in high stresses.
See picture.
I tried to made a derived part from the assembly, but that one does not finish meshing. After 48 hours, the progress bar is still half way. While the one above did finish in about 15 minutes. What can I do to make the meshes match?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGot a weird thing happening in CS6 and wondered if any of you have ran into it. I've imported an .obj file and I was able to move, scale and edit as desired.
Then I closed the doce and reopend at a later time to find that not only did the position and scale of the mesh totally change, but I was also no longer able to move, scale or edit it in any way! every time I'd use the 3d tools to move it around or scale it
if one can control the density of meshes created from grayscale images. Is this linked to the image resolution?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSome photo editor has a feature called mesh warp: it overlays a grid over a selected area and the user can drag the points in the grid to distort (warp) the underlying graphics.
The closest thing I found in photoshop is liquify, but it doesn't work quite the same. It's harder to make subtle changes with the liquify tools than with mesh warp.
For example, if I have a photo of a woman with barrel waist and I want to edit her into hour-glass waist, having mesh warp would be handy.

I am having difficulty choosing which way to draw a jagged burr you get after .010" thick sheetmetal is punctured with a .030 punch. I drew my blank SOLID. I created the .030 hole. Now I would like it to look realistic. It's too clean. I need to add a jagged surface to it. I am haveg difficulty creating a three sided mesh on a .015" radius.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have moved a mesh off to the side while I work on the 3d solid substructure the mesh covers.

My end goal is to increase the poly count so that my clothing look smooth and still be able to skin it easily. Mesh smooth just causes more problems.
I attached a biped via physics to a simple character mesh and made the envelopes fitting like I want them. But here comes the problem. If I move the thigh or calf, it doesn't matter, the mesh starts to spinning around the bone of the calf and I just don't know how to fix this.
The spinning is almost not to see if the thigh gets moved though. I attached two pics and hope that the problem will get more clear that way.
I am newbie to 3ds max, I was modelling one building but I am seeing some black shades on the mesh and I want to get rid of it. You can see the black shades in the picture attached below, as well as I am uploading my 3ds max file.
how can I get a cleaner mesh, right now its totally messed up. I used optimize modifier but it does not do much.
Imagine you have a a box, say 1 foot square. You attach a fat rubber band in the center of one side and then you pull the rubber band up to an edge and around it to the center of the next face. It stretches and the corner is the only spot that controls the change of direction. If you raise one end (the segment from your finger to the corner) it raises, but the segment from the corner to where the other end is attached stays flat on the box until you move your hand far enough away so that there is now no wrap around the edge. Now if you pull and relax, it acts like any normal rubber band. But then if you lower your fingers with the end you are holding and go back down to the face, you wrap around that corner again and can pull and relax around the corner.
What I'm actually doing is animating a muscle that goes around a bone when it's stretched out. But when it's contracted, one end moves out away from that bone it's wrapped around and it's now just a straight line. I need to animate that muscle from that contracted and straight position to the extended position but have the end of the muscle bend around the bone when it hits it.
I have a humanoid mesh (it was originally a editable poly, but I think I converted it to an editable mesh), and I have a bipedal rig (the Man variant of the default) that is fitted to the mesh. I just cant figure out for the life of me how to attach the mesh to the rig. All of the tutorials I've seen are for older versions of 3ds, and use physique. When I apply physique to the mesh and hit "attach to node" nothing happens, and its all downhill from there. Could one of you good people point me in the direction of a tutorial for 3ds Max 2013?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't do a lot with bones or skin but I have a nice little rig of an orthodontic band. It's essentially 4 torus objects. Imagine 4 torus objects in a straight line barely touching. The band gets snapped over braces from tooth to tooth.
I have bones assigned to the torus objects so that when I pull a bone, the whole object will stretch like a rubber band and then I and stretch the rings from tooth to tooth.
All is well with that. However, once I use a bone to move/stretch the objects, the envelopes don't move with the object. They stay behind and everything begins to distort. How do you lock the envelopes to the mesh?
Can't apply a material in the mesh ,itsnt working? I am working on a project downloaded from internet and I am not beeing able to apply any material ( color ) I think its some option enable.

I did as instructed and confirmed that I want to transform it to a mesh. But as I proceed and push the Smooth Object button, I receive the following message:
‘A smooth mesh cannot be created from at least one of the selected objects.
Smooth meshes can be created only from 3D solids, 3D surfaces, 3D faces, polygon meshes, polyface meshes, regions, and closed polylines.’
Here is the problem: I have a 3D model in the format of 123D (Freeware by Autocad). I converted this to .DXF then imported into AutoCad 2012 and saved it in .DWG format. The 3D model is of a crocodile. I wish to take cross-sections of this model so to generate width traverse sections from the longitudinal head to the tail of the animal. This is so I can form a model of the animal out of wire.
So how to best do this? Apparently the model in .DXF/.DWG became a 2D "mesh" so I must first convert to a solid? (I say 'became' because originally it was in .123c format, but my version of Autocad 2012 does not recognize this format, so I had to convert to .DXF, which I believe rendered the 3D into a 2D mesh) Or can AutoCad take a 2D "mesh" and generate cross-sections?
Top-down general advice is good but even better is a detailed step-by-step explanation of how to do this. I did "select" the entire animal and tried to make a "solid" out of it using a button icon on the ribbon panel (as opposed to a "surface") but I think I stopped prematurely--there was no progress bar so hard to tell. So then I guess you generate a cross-section once you generate the solid by doing what? is there a dialog box that ask for your end points (of the plane, defined by a line?)
I've imported a simple .obj file with a few beveled faces into my PS doc and then created a simple 3d postcard layer. When I merged the two 3D layers, (.obj file layer is top layer) PS seems to have removed some of the faces in my places .obj file.. ??
What possibly could be happening?
