Mudbox :: Importing Model / Mesh From Maya
Apr 6, 2013I’m using mud box 2013 and maya 2013, I’m trying to send a model/mesh through from maya to mud box by clicking the mesh and then file > send to mud box > send as new scene. This seems to work fine I get a little connected to mud box dialogue box in the bottom right corner and mud box begins to open, when it finally opens the scene inside of mud box is empty. Its as if its imported nothing.

Sep 17, 2013I'm trying to import an autocad file into sap2000. The element i need to import has to be a solid. I know that sap2000 accepts elements called polygon mesh (i received a test file, and under properties of the object, that is what is said).
how to make a polygon mesh? what is the function called? I've tried MESH but i don't think its the same thing.
Maya :: Can't Find Mesh And Edit Mesh Menu
Dec 4, 2011I thought they were supposed to appear when the Polygon shelf is selected? I don't see them. In fact, when I select different shelves the menu items on the right half of the task bar don't change at all. Is this normal?

Mudbox :: Using Textures To Freeze A Mesh
Jun 20, 2011How to freeze the mesh based on a texture I want to use?
This video [URL]...... shows that you can right click on the texture paint layer and freeze the mesh based on a texture. However, when I right click on my paint layer it doesn't even give me the option to freeze anything.
I don't see anywhere else to freeze parts of the mesh based on texture.

Mudbox :: Using Extremely High-res Mesh For 3D Printing?
Mar 8, 2013I'm trying to find a way to export my mesh to any programs that can convert my mesh to STL, preferably optimized like ZBrush is able to do.
However, in order for me to reach the desired detail amount in Mudbox I have to subdivide the mesh quite a lot and if I export the file as OBJ it is bigger than 2 GB.
If I try to import that model to ZBrush for instance it won't load because it doesn't support my amount of RAM. Is there any way at all to convert that big file to something more optimized or simply to STL without giving up on the amount of detail?
In other words, is there a proper way to use an extremely high-res Mudbox mesh for 3D printing?

Feb 7, 2012I'm using Maya to render out a greyscale image TIFF 16bit for use in Mudbox as 'Sculpt Using displacement'. The background is set to 0.5 grey and rendered as TIFF 16 from Maya. However, when applied as a sculpt using 'displacement' in Mudbox, the mesh slightly inflates (or deflates actually) every so slightly.
Is the issue cuases by my mid grey from Maya , tiff format or something else ?

3ds Max :: Adding Sculpted Detail To Prerigged Base Mesh
Sep 19, 2011I've made a basic character model and rigged it with CAT, then added some detail onto it in ZBrush. After using GoZ to get it back into 3Ds Max I couldn't get the rig to work properly on the sculpted mesh.
I tried copy/pasting the skin modifier from one mesh to another, while both meshes were located at about the same place, however this results in my envelopes floating somewhere above my mesh, and thus screwing up the animation.
Any way to somehow get a sculpted mesh onto a prerigged one, or would I just have to rig it again? (Which would be horrible since I plan on using the base mesh to create several characters. So I'd have to rigg every single one of them all over again.
Mudbox :: Broken Mesh In High Levels When Change Basemesh?
Mar 31, 2012I'm trying to pose my character, for that I'm using Max. When I imported the new pose from the level 0 I load it as an import layer. And when I go to level 5, the mesh is broken. VertexID are the same, uvs. etc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMaya :: Objects In Mudbox Will Not Transfer To Solid Object
Feb 26, 2014I am having an issue transferring an object I have sculpted in Mudbox, and trying to import it correctly to Maya. In Mudbox, both of my objects show up just fine (don't worry about the UV issue on the face). When I choose to 'send objects to Maya,' the objects display in a new scene, but the hair doesn't show up at all. In the Outliner, Maya displays an empty transform node titled 'hair,' but I can't get it to show up as a solid mesh within the scene.
Am I going to have to remodel the hair in mudbox again and just pray that the model will import to Maya without issues?
Maya Modeling :: Mudbox Blend Shape Subdivision Woes
Oct 2, 2012I have run into an issue relating to the differences in the way Mudbox and Maya subdivide meshes. My workflow for creating blend shapes is as follows:
1. Create base head mesh in Maya
2. Import base head mesh into Mudbox and subdivide to level 2
3. Create a Mudbox layer on top of base head mesh to sculpt each blend shape (e.g., browsMidUp)
4. For each blend shape, export the level 0 mesh to Maya for use as a blend shape on the base head mesh
Here is where it all falls apart.
When I smooth the blend shape in Maya (either by choosing smooth preview or by selecting Mesh>Smooth), the smoothed mesh in Maya differs from that in Mudbox. In the case of browsMidUp, the blend shape created in Mudbox only modified the brows. However, in Maya when the blend shape is smoothed the mouth opens up (i.e., the lips smooth differently in Maya than Mudbox, causing the mouth to open).
This is incredibly frustrating because I did not discover this problem until after I created approximately 35 blend shapes in Mudbox!I believe I can work around my current error. However, I would like to know how others approach the creation of blend shapes.Do you use Mudbox? If so, how do prevent issues associated with smoothing differences?
Mudbox :: Transform Model Every-time When Import / Export Through Maya
Dec 8, 2010I'm having a problem with the transform of my model every time I import/export through maya and mudbox.
Basically every time I import a mesh from maya into mudbox then export to maya and back my mesh is shown smaller on the grid, I've done everything I can think of in Maya before exporting by centering the pivot, freezing transform, and deleting all history, but I still get the same result and my mesh just gets smaller and smaller?? I've also tried resizing it as well and get the same result.
I'm using maya 6.5 and mudbox 2011.
Maya :: How To Select And Move Pair Of Vertices At Base Of The Helmet
Jun 17, 2011I'm on page 89 of online tutorial of making the character helmet, and when I try to select and move the pair of vertices at the base of the helmet, they become bright yellow, and all surrounding vertices become a gradually darkening shade of orange. What happens is, it moves all of the vertices around the ones I selected. In the image on the tutorial, only the selected vertices move. What should I do?
I've included a screenshot of the online tutorial, and I've also included screenshots of my own project, to better illustrate the problem I'm having.
