3ds Max Modeling :: Selecting Faces To Be Textured In UV Editor - Yellow Boxes Grow

May 29, 2013

I'm selecting faces to be textured in the UV editor. The red faces in the pic. The more faces I select (ctrl + click) the more the yellow box grows. Is this normal? I don't recall seeing that behaviour before. I thought it was just supposed to select the extents of the faces..?

Maya Modeling :: Selecting Faces And Mapping To UVs

Nov 21, 2013

I've got a good grasp on 3D modeling and I've taken numerous tutorials to get started.I revolved a container profile from an Illustrator path and I've assigned a mia_material.  It's basically a cylinder that I need to map a label onto and my problem is two fold...
 
1. I am unable to select faces (face mode).  In my RMB popup menu, I see "Surface Point", not "Faces". 
 
2. So then I just add the label file to the whole thing, choose Create UVs -> Cylindrical mapping and I am unable to edit, re-position and scale the image to the cylindrical faces.

3ds Max :: Textured Character - Symmetry Modeling?

Jan 26, 2013

I have a character that's textured, and I'd like to make adjustments to the mesh. I would like to select a Vertex on the right half of the mesh, and the Vertex on the left side would also get selected. So when I move it, the opposite moves in the "mirrored" direction.

In Softimage it's simple; I apply a Symmetry Map to the model, choose the Symmetry Mode, and it works. How do you set that up?

Maya Modeling :: Multiple Textured Meshes

Oct 30, 2013

Is it better to texture multiple meshes of a same object as opposed to unwapping and texturing just one mesh and then duplicating the object over and over?

Fox example, I'm working in Maya and I'm modeling a grocery store. And let's say I'm about to texture an isle with bagged snack chips. Do I unwrap every UV from every bag of chips and texture them individually or is it better to unwrap and texture just one bag (mesh) of chips and then duplicate object multuple times to get the whole isle of chips.

Photoshop :: Turning Textured Portrait Into Non-textured Photograph

Mar 10, 2012

I have spent the last 2 days trying to take a portrait taken between 1950 and 1970 and printed on "Kodak extra life" photo paper made to resemble a canvas painting. I took several photos of this portrait using a Canon 60D EOS. Unfortunately, the portrait looks like it was literally printed on flattened bubble wrap. The Gausian blur can't do enough. Even when combined with ALL of the noise filters AND the sharpen, unsharpen masks. Curves and levels, hues and saturations, radius, inverting, working the image in RAW...

I have tried all available forms posted on the web and I have even tried a few other things just to see what would happen. Gimp with fft failed right along with other programs claiming to be able to do this task. I spent the entire night recoloring pixels in an attempt to get this portrait to lose the bubble wrap and not be so blurred you could go cross eyed looking at it. Unfortunately, when you zoom in on the pixels you can see what could be random brush marks in the "Kodak extra life" paper printed portrait. I am stumped with this one and the web does not have a lot of info regarding this type of image.

The portrait belongs to a friend whose mom died. As they were going through her things they found this photo of her when she was younger than they can recall her being. It is the only one they found. It is stained and color faded, no problem to fix that part of it... I am not sure it can be transformed from "bubble wrap" but I will keep trying until something can change it. I have ADOBE Photoshop CS5 running on windows 7.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Decals And Selecting Faces

Feb 14, 2012

I am trying to put a deck layout decal onto a surface.  When selecting the decal command, inventor will only allow me to select the bottom surface and not the top one where I want the decal.  is this achievable.

I can do it by flipping the normal and putting on a mirrored image for my decal but that seems like a lot of work

if you create a new part with a cube, sketch onto one of the surfaces and add an image, the decal will only attach to one of the availiable 2 surfaces

Maya Modeling :: Trumpet - Verts Are All Yellow

Apr 4, 2012

I am trying to model a trumpet in Maya 2012. I took a cylinder and started selected the verts on one side to extrude and they were all yellow. When I extruded and then stretched the new edge to make the bell of the trumpet, it expanded but so did the other edge loops. Also, anytime I try to select a single or multiple verts, others are arbitrarily selected. In terms of a clock, if I select 1 o'clock, the 5 o'clock point will be selected. I don't know why but verts can only be selected symmetrically. This problem is also causing many other stranger control problems that are hard to explain. For example, when I extrude, I can drag out the new face if I use the default extruding moving tool (with the move tool and the scale tool on top of one another), but if I click "w" to get to the move tool like I usually do after I extrude, and drag it out, it completely forgets that the extrude ever happened, and just moves the single edge loop I had before. Every forum I've found said to just click "b" to turn off soft-selection, which fixed the original problem of having my shapes have redish orange edges, but the yellow verts are still there.

3ds Max Modeling :: Civil View Yellow Road Arrows

Jul 11, 2013

3DS Max Design 2014 I am trying to get shaded Yellow road arrow markings. I added the markings to the resource kit .. (Diffuse and Opcaity using same image file)
 
When first used they look correct..

 then with some editing to the model and many opens later the image is replaced by a grey block

this is what it looks like in shaded viewport, but still renders correctly
 
we dont always have time to render to file, we capture screen video. Is there a way to fix this? to get the yellow arrow in shaded viewport - permanently.

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Delete Duplicate Faces

Jul 12, 2011

I have a very old model from one of our previous projects. It was previously rendered with max scan line and had standard materials on it. Now we are updating it for a HD render and updated with mental ray and arch&design material. When doing test renders there have been some very strange results, on closer inspection I have realised the models have been duplicated. They have been duplicated in exactally the same spot and are part of the same element. I’m currently trying to go through each polygon(element) and delete the duplicate but its taking an age. It was a model imported from iges format so the model is very broken up.

Any good method for deleting duplicate surfaces?I have tried xview but selecting the results just seems to select the whole model which ever method I choose.

Maya Modeling :: Shortcuts To Toggle Keep Faces Together?

Jul 12, 2012

As the User's Guide says: The Keep Faces Together setting can be turned on and off when using Extrude by ctrl+shift+right-clicking on the object whenever the Show Manipulator Tool is displayed.

How to use it? I tried as it said, however nothing occurred. H

(I tried by these steps: Select the object -> clicking Extrude -> clicking Show Manipulator Tool in Modify/Transformation tools -> ctrl+shift+right-clicking the object -> Extrude)

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Make 3D Robotic Faces From 2D Images

Jan 3, 2014

I have a 3D scanner where I can scan an solid object, & sometimes reverse engineer the object that I am looking at. 1 function that the old FaceGen used to be able to do is make a 2 dimensional object into a 3D wireframe, but I am not sure if it is able to do robotic faces. I am thinking of doing Transformer-like figures where the faces are a mix of smooth & angular vertices. If I were to plug in some of the flat 2D images that I have, I think that it would give me an ‘error message.’
 
- My 1st question is I was wondering if you had any CAD software that would be able to take a flat image of a face, & make it into a 3D image
 
- Or even able to take a pre-existing mesh, & warp it’s values to match a 2D face pattern that I have in mind.
 
- 1 option that 1 of the older forms of FaceGen was able to do, is to give you variations of a pre-existing face. And I am not talking about taking a 3D mesh & turning it from male to female, race to race, young to old, but different ‘versions’ of that face. 1 thing that they did with a lot of Transformers is that they recycled the same body type, & just repainted the figure to a different paint scheme, & making them into a new character. The Decepticon jets were a good example of that. 1 thing that I am thinking of doing is taking a scan of a pre-existing face, & alternating the facial values to generate different face plates so that each figure has a new face to distinguish them from 1 to the next.

Maya Modeling :: How To Extrude A Group Of Faces

Jul 24, 2011

I'm not new to modeling, but new to Maya. I'm trying to extrude a group of faces, but it is making me extrude them at the same angle they are at in the model(local I think). How do I change the axes to extrude the faces straight up instead of at the angle they are at?

I know this is easy in Max, but I can't find it in the Help File of Maya.

Maya Modeling :: Can't Get Selection Handles On Polygon Faces

Aug 12, 2011

in order to get a head start on my next class, I bought the book: Introducing Maya 2011 by Dariush Derakhshani and have been following along with the tutorial projects within.

The issue I am having is probably a silly noob thing, but I can't get the selection handles (for polygon faces) to show up on a simple polygon sphere. I can see the handles on the corners of individual faces, but not the ones that are supposedly in the center of each face.

I have tried going to Display > Transform Display > Selection Handles but nothing happens. I have tried this while selecting the sphere with options under both "Select by Object Type" and "Select by Component Type" with no results.

I am running Maya 2011 on a Macbook Pro on OSX.

Maya Modeling :: How To Hide Selected Poly Faces

Maya Modeling :: Faces Disappearing During Poly Cutting?

Apr 17, 2012

We've had to re-image machines, so it's been a few days of trouble shooting new issues with re-install of Maya2012.

Installed SP2 for Vista yesterday in hopes some of the modeling issues would be fixed. But still having two issues.

The worst is each time I try to cut faces my faces in sections of model disappear. The face is there and it's closed. If I re-launch Maya then the display is correct.

The last but less of a nuisance at this time is a white display during view port changes. Didn't have this issue before. But all of our machines here on the team are doing the same thing.

Maya Modeling :: How To Combine Extruded Faces As One Mesh

I am using maya 2011. I have a simple roof, which i extracted faces from the small house (see pic1). However, when i smooth the roof, all the extracted faces went smooth individually (see pic2). How can i combine all those individual faces i extruded, to make into a single mesh or polygon, so that when i press 3, it will smooth like as in pic3 rather than individually.

3ds Max Modeling :: Flipped Faces Swapping Between Mirrored Instances

Sep 3, 2012

I'm having a bit of a frustrating issue with flipped faces. Basically I have an object that i am trying to mirror over as an instance. Just like dozens of other object within the same scene, MAX decides to flip the faces on the mirrored object. Simple fix would be to highlight the affected object and flip the faces back. This only causes the "unique" object to flip backwards instead. So, because the objects are instanced, the objects are essentially "swapping" flipped face orientation between the two always leaving one of them with flipped faces. Iv'e tried adding a normal modifier to one, but still resulting in the same issue. I have also tried messing around with resetting x form.

3ds Max Modeling :: Displace Modifier / Making Planar Faces

Jul 14, 2011

I am Using Mental ray (max 2010). I have made a topological displacement map at a very low resolution. it is 222 pixels wide by 111 pixels tall (landscape) It is greyscale and low rez because the mesh I am applying it to is 222 faces wide by 111 faces long. (landscape also). I did this because I needed each pixel to become a "height map" in its own right. Everything is working the way i expected.

My problem is.... I need to now make each face z planar. as it stands, they are all tilted in the direction of the grey scale falloff. I have tried splitting the edges of all the faces (quad) and using the make planar (z) function of edit poly mod. No matter how I set the pivot / ucs, when I apply the make planar z , they all average out to the same z plane. I need them to adopt the average of their individual z planes. I can do this but have to do it face by face. That's 24642 faces.

3ds Max Modeling :: Unable To Select Faces When Using Unwrap UVW Modifier

I am using 3ds max 2014 and have not been able to select faces when using the Unwrap UVW modifier. My only choices are vertex, edge and polygon. I've tried to use flatten mapping with polygons instead of faces, but I'm not getting the results I want that way.

I've made sure that everything is converted to editable poly. I've re-imported everything to see if that changes anything, and still nothing. I'm attaching a screenshot of my unwrap uvw rollout in case that's useful.

3ds Max Modeling :: Removing Overlapping Faces But Keeping Visible Top?

Jan 29, 2011

I'm building a tree prop that uses a push modifier to create the outside effect of the shape I want. The problem is that the Push modifier has pushed many faces into others... leaving a bunch of geometry "inside" the model... in essence leaving a larger polycount than needed and wasted.

i tried to draw a cross section view of the encircled area... as if you were looking up the cross section up the tree. I'm hoping to get the geometry to match the "desired" drawing.
