3ds Max Modeling :: Chin Strap With Fish Skin Like Scales?
Aug 29, 2011
I am working on a 3D hat model for a soldier character.The hat has a chin strap made of metallic scales. See figure.I started modelling the individual metallic scales in Max. Can't take it further to finish the chin strap modelling.
I have some vague ideas along the following lines:
*Use the two modelled metallic elements and clone them, say, 40 times.
*Use a spline as a basic path for the shape of the chin strap.
*Make the scales path follow the spline.
I am finding it especially hard to take the two modelled scale like elements and turn them into a overlapping metal scales.

AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor, Quad, ~2.8GHz

I'm just trying to learn the very basics of making a simple character. When I paint on any polygon shape, the same paint stroke is painted on all the polygon shapes of my character. What i've noticed though is if I separate the polygon meshes I can paint on them separately, but then that makes it impossible for me to bind the skeleton of the character to the skin.
I just want to have the necessary scales, so don’t want to add to the template.
The command function is basically to allow me type the value of the scale and based on that, adjust the properties of the scale. (Name appearing in scale list - Paper Milimeters - Drawing Meters)
I am trying to find a way to draw a pretension strap to secure 4 parts together in inventor. I am sizing a flat steel strap that has a breaking strength of approximately 1000 lbs. I need to draw the strap around 4 items, place a pretension on the strap (less than 1000 pounds) and then determine the forces created on the parts being held together by the band. Is this even possible in inventor?
Another way to think of what I am trying to simulate: Think of a box resting on a wooden shipping pallet. Now imagine a flexible strap wrapped around the pallet and box to hold the two together.
I've photoshop restorationretouch by Katy. I clicked on liquidty to try fixing a the double chin on woman's chins but her chins is fake now. Can anybody help me?
I have a picture someone wants me to try and make the womans face look less chubby, double chin look. I have tried smudge, blur and cloning but I am not getting any good results. Is there anything I can try that I haven't? I find that the liquify tool is too strong and I am not too familiar with that tool,
In Inventor 2010 we have a sheet metal, with a lot of different straps. But we cannot create round jogs between them. It's only possible, if all straps are created at the same time with the same size etc.
Please see the attached file. The upper version, is the one, it looks in the moment and we want an apperance like the lower one.
Is it possible? Because we cannot add all the round holes later on in development of the sheet metal.
Im trying to figure out how to create a chin sprocket assembly like shown were the chin is connected to an object and as the sprockets are driven it moves the object up and down.
I'm trying to add an effect on a piece of scenery I filmed and I need the opposite effect of Fish Eye. The camera pans right to left and I need the edges to curve in/up to give that "rounded feeling"
Also, I would like to give it a cinematic look. I can add the bars top and bottom?
I need to cut out some fish for patterns for the kids to make pottery ones - is there a way to make an outline of the fish withont having to take the time to use the eraser tool or to make just the whole fish black without the whole picture being a black box?
I have 2 images, a fish bowl and a man. I am trying to place the man in the bowl so that he looks like he is behind the glass. So far, I have tried masks with at different opacities and blend modes and the two photos in different stacking orders in the layers palette. I am not happy with these results because you can see through the man into the background of the fish bowl.
how to draw a simple fish shape that is consist of an oval with 2 pointed ends (the body), and a triangle (tail)? What kind of tools (eg. line or ellipse tools) should I use? Do I need to set the transformation path?
I was doing some "sphere-ology" and wanted to overlay a bitmap pattern. I tried to use a Fish Eye lens on a bitmap to give it some shape before applying it, but it does not seem to work. It will cut out the shape, but no distortion is applied.
I found this thread from a couple of years back on X5. There was no resolution.
I have run into this problem several times. CorelDRAW has "envelope" which works for vector illustrations. (how I made the sample) Photo Paint does not have a similar tool. How can I pinch the middle in PP. How to make the image on the left into the image on the right.
when you click onto a selected item to move it or change the scaling, and there is the three arrows that represent X,Y, and Z pop up? Well I pressed something, and now that system shrunk down to the point where I can't move or change the size of anything I select. Below is a .JPEG of whats the problem. I have done everything but wipe my whole computer clean.
As CAD administrator at my company, which is in the process of implementing Inventor/Vault, I am quite sold on the Layout Modeling/Multi-body part modeling functionality that Inventor supports. Among other things I believe there is a large payoff in assembly stability and simplicity. However, this workflow is very different from the conventional methods of modeling individual parts and manually constraining assemblies. URLs....
How best to make the stone facets go sideways into the main tower. As you can see though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. How I could achieve such results?
I am fluent in sketchup modeling but have had no success in attempting to model something similar to the crinkled wall mass in the attached image. I have d/l'ed 3dsmax for 30 trial and trying to learn on the fly, which is difficult. before i spend too much time trying to to achieve a crinkled wall mass? in my first attempt i was able to create a rectangle, add modifer of garment maker and apply cloth attributes (and ripple) to it but it's too smooth around the edges although it had amplitude to it.
I have a problem when I am modeling my character or rather the character from the animation academy. I have created an NURBS sphere and I want to adjust it to the arm, so I go to the component mode add some isosparms and then it happens!!! I can´t move any vertexes... but in the object mode I can move the hole object.
I am a very infrequent user of CAD and still do things like I used to do back in the '90s.
I draw in Model space at full scale--except, and this is why I am posting this question, when I have a small detail I want to be visible.
Can I draw a detail in Model space that is a different scale than the main drawing, or do I have to make it 'larger' by using Paper space and a viewport. Like maybe a block or some procedure I am unaware of.
I have several drawings in which I want to use a line type (centrex2) at a specific scale. The scale setting is exactly the same in all the drawings but in some the line type is coming out at different scales, all larger, but not the same or to a set factor. All the entities in question are poly lines (2d).
I have checked in all drawings that:
global scale factor and current object scale in the line type manager are the same (1.0)drawing units are the same (unitless)‘use paper space units for scaling’ is always deselected line type generation is always enabled.
I used the layout wizard to configure 2 vertical viewports as instructed in the manual. Next I try to paste an object in one viewport at a scale of 1:20, engineering imperial. The object appears in both viewports in model space. I only want the object in one viewport and I cannot erase the object in the other viewport, since they both dissappear. I also cannot draw a line in one viewport without it appearing in the second viewport. If I switch one viewport to current paper space the line can be drawn but I want each viewport to be at a different scale. Is there some way around this? Is my AutoCAD LT program capable of doing this?
