I work in Max 2012 on a mesh who explode at some point when my stack is heavy, it can occur while I'm working on it or if I open the max scene. I had that problem in old version like 4.2 or 5 but apparently it's back.
View 2 RepliesSome tips on dealing with the heavy triangle mesh.
Use the mesh as reference to sculpt a new model
or
Get it simplified enough to turn into quads to subdivide
or ???
Is there an easy ways to clean up a mesh so that its easy to skin ? i am working with the mvu default mesh. someone told i have to remake my own body then redo the uvw map to match. Unfortunately i don't have the skills to do that currently.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm missing a shrink tool or modifier which can shrink a mesh. I don't want to scale it down because it's preserving the proportions but that is not what I propose to do.
The Shell modifier for example extrudes the polygons along their local normals. This in reverse I'm trying to do.
Think about a banana and you will get a copy of it in a smaller and thinner way because you have modelled the shell of the banana but not the flesh in it. I think that explains the difference between shrinking and scaling.
I would like to move two different vertex, from different mesh, at the same place. I thought maybe I could put a guide or a landmark to the position I want the vertexes to be. I can't find anything about guides in 3ds max

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a mesh which is derived from a heightmap. It represents the water surface on the terrain. I need to tile the mesh so that I can apply each piece to a separate terrain tile in the Unity game engine.I'm working in meters so I guess just importing the mesh and converting to meters on input would set up the mesh extents correctly. The mesh will be square covering the entire world extents.How do I set up a grid and slice the mesh precisely along that grid? Are there any methods in Max, or any scripts? It would also useful if I could scale the mesh in the Y (height) axis to change the span. How to do that?In addition, I need to delete parts of the mesh. The triangles will always be along the same plane- for eg, any triangle on the plane in the pic. Is that possible? I don't mind editing manually, but I'm wondering if there's a more quick way to do it.

I was modeling a unicorn in ZBrush (because it's so comfortable and intuitive with modeling) for a film in a project of my studies and imported it to 3ds Max then, because I know how to rig and animate there (and in ZBrush I didn't even find out how to MOVE an object).
After a while I finally killed all the triangles in my mesh, but it's just... horrible. So many polys where they aren't needed, so unclean. It looks like this:

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?

I am trying to fix holes on my mesh by selecting the whole mesh and hitting weld at .001, but its pulling the whole mesh in. I have tried increasing the scale of the mesh by 1000x and even 5000x but a weld of .001 is causing the exact same result. I thought increasing the mesh size was supposed to scale the weld distance as well but its not for some reason.

They are represented as a single mesh object in Maya, however when I look the material of this mesh, I see different tabs representing the different sections of the mesh with the different materials (e.g. a duck would be seen as 1 mesh, but 1 material for the body, 1 for the left eye and 1 for the right eye).
