3ds Max Modeling :: Slicing Polygons (cylinder With Plane)
May 26, 2012Is it possible to slice one poly with another poly?
For example, the attachments shows a plane intersecting a cylinder. How would I slice the cylinder with the plane?

Nov 8, 2013I 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.

Oct 16, 2013Problem i encountered by attaching two objects together. These problems may occur only in the viewport, haven't tried rendering or anything, but it's still pretty annoying:
When i finished attaching the head to the body in a proper way, i mirrored that as well, and the polys don't blend in pretty well even tho i welded all points along the attach line
I mirrored half body and all these weird shadows appeared (they disappear when i activate turbosmooth).
All polys have same ID set and are all in the same shading group.

Maya Modeling :: Shading And Polygons
Nov 30, 2011I'm having trouble with shading objects I imported from SolidWorks using SimLab's plug-in. My problem is two-fold:
First, the polygons appear to have bizarre twists and bends in them, but there are no corresponding edges to create these deformations. Also, Maya thinks all the faces are planar. I tried cleaning up the objects and it yielded no results. These weird twists appear in both the work space and when rendered. I have tried deleting overlapping edges, but it didn't work.
Second, when I try to apply a bump map to my objects, they don't work. I tried using a noise and a fractal bump map and neither appear on the rendered image. However, the Brownian bump map works. I have tried creating other objects in the scene and the noise and fractal bump maps work just fine on those, just not on my imported geometry. I figured out a brute-force method to make the bump maps work - I delete a polygon and use the append tool to create a new polygon - but I have over 110,000 polygons on this thing.
I'm working on an 8-core MacPro running Windows 7 64bit with 32 GB RAM and two GeForce 9500GT video cards.

Feb 1, 2014i was creating a simple character(blobs withen blobs). It was going pretty good until i camme across an issue that i can't seem to fix. I first had his neck as a nurb but i realized to do what i wanted i would need to deleted a couple faces so simple create a polygon the same size and shape. So i draged the nurb over clicked create polygon and i made it. The issues was that i can not seem to get them the same size i went to the channel box and typed in the same numbers for size. It was similiar but, was off the entire object was too big. I tried extruding it to match the same rough height and i got that nurb was on a scale that was about 1.626 times larger this. I forgot to mention that i am running maya 2014 student edition.

Nov 20, 2013I have a plane that I transform into Edit Poly, only one polygon. I select an edge, click extrude, 1cm height and 0 width. But instead of having 2 polygons, I have 4, the extras two being on the outside edge of the newly extruded polygon. These polygons aren't really visible, but they cause lots and lots of problems! I have a lot of extruding to do and I would love to specify the dimension of the new polygons, that's why I used Extrude instead of simply Shift-dragging.
At the moment, after each extrude, I select all my vertexes and do a weld with a very small threshold, that seems to eliminate those extra polygons, but it's annoying and counter-productive.
I'm using 3ds max 2012 64 bits, service pack 2 and I updated last week.
3ds Max Modeling :: Convert To Edit Poly Turns Random Polygons Black
Dec 14, 2011I don't know what is going on but it is getting on my nerves. I created an OBJ file for my Glock model that I'm working on and re-imported it into 3ds Max to remove any five sided polygons. 3ds Max fixes them automatically this way. This fixed model won't export as an editable mesh, it gets stuck on "preparing polymesh for poly export" and I have to ctrl/alt/del to shut the program down. After some research, a few boards say to change the mesh to a poly. Tried that and I have random black polygons appear and I don't know what to do to fix it. I've attached both the file and an image to this post. The glock on the left is my original model and the one on the right is the OBJ I imported to have four sided polys throughout.

I can't get it to scale down the way it is depicted in the photos. I tried selecting the faces and simply scaling, and I also tried selecting the faces and choosing "Extrude" first, and that did not work either.
Maya Modeling :: Fill Hole With Polygons Then Clean Up With Split Polygon Tool
Aug 20, 2012I am building some geometry and need to fill in this area, (ie fill hole with polygons then clean up with split polygon tool) but I am new to nurbs and am trying to do this model with nurbs. I usually use hull mode and move the hull down into the piece of geometry, but it won't move correctly that way.
So in the picture below i am trying to fill the red area and have it go into the green surface. The curvature of the green area makes it not line up correctly(ie fitting to the curvature of the green surface) when using the "moving hulls" approach. I was seeing if there was an easy way to go about this.

Dec 22, 2012I'm working on a complex closed object shape originally made from a plane and want to do Boolean to it.
So when a plane get Boolean-ed with a sphere, it just turns to plane with a hole. Different when a standard box get Boolean-ed with a sphere, it turns into a box with a 1/2 sphere hole.
My question is, is it possible to turns a plane into solid 3D objects like box, sphere,etc..? So it's able to get Boolean-ed correctly?
I add a picture of simpler analogy
p.s. the box and the box-ed plane is an editable poly
