i'm trying to use the wire tool deformer to sculpt some mouth shapes on my character but when i turn the wire tool on the faces of my mesh around the mouth area dissapear,I can still see the wireframe but the faces dissapear, I tried to turn down the dropoff distance attribute but to no avail.
View 6 RepliesI have been working on a head model on and off for a couple of days to practice extrusion methods, I have been working with smooth shade. When I went back to it yesterday I came across this problem - Anytime I went to extrude/bride/append/soften normals etc my model the part I was extruding would turn to wire frame and an unrelated part of the head would change to wire frame also. I am mirroring the mesh down the middle; sometimes the mirrored half is changed to wire frame also, sometimes not.
As I didn't know how to fix the issue I reverted to an earlier save I had made before the affected areas had been built up. Now I have nearly finished getting back to the same point I was at yesterday I'm coming across the same problem.
This is an emergency nesecito deliver this project on Tuesday, look what happens When I use the merge is desaparesen extruded or portions of the face

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.

I'm working on a animation with a female model. It's a simple animation which I did with a couple of soft modification points. After that was done, I created the UV texture in Photoshop. At the point in the animation that the soft modification points deform the mesh the texture goes all crazy.
I know why that is, because the UV is projected and is not stuck on the mesh yet. I've worked the wrong way. Next time I will first add the UV texture and then animate the mesh. Now I'm having a duplicate of the model and deleted the history. The UV sticks on that mesh, but the softmodification points are also deleted. So the mesh doesn't deform anymore.
I've tried a lot of ways, but didn't find the solution yet. That's why my question is. How do you copy/reconnect the soft modification points on a identical mesh with a sticking UV texture? It's the same polycount, so I think it's possible. I've tried connecting the soft mods in the new mesh in the Hypergraph, but I didn't know which atributes I should connect. I also tried to bake a simulation, but Maya says he is calculating, but I can't see if it is working and how long it would take. I tried to export the animation and import it in a new scene with the history deleted model, but that wasn't the solution either.
I don't know if my story is all clear, but this i my goal. I want the animation on a model that has the UV texture sticking on it. What is the best way to get there?
I have a character who is wearing a vest with buckles on the side. Binding with skin weights creates distortion of these buckles, so it's not a good solution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen i import the skinned mesh from Maya (v2013) to Unity (v3.3) in FBX format, it becomes dark - the object is lighten only in the middle (by the directional light).There is no problem like this, when i import the same mesh, but not skinned to the joints.I tried all options of skinning (Smooth Bind, Rigid Bind), all settings of export to FBX,- no change.
The meshes are imported to Unity differently: in the the skinned mesh object, the mesh component is attached to the main joint object,and in the not-skinned mesh object - to the mesh object.
The dark mesh can be lighten with several directional lights, but then it's colors are uneven and they flicker when the object animates.
Like in title, when I apply blendshapes to mesh with skincluster, I cannot paint weights anymore. It sais:
"maya expected a skin cluster deformer or a deformed shape. Found *.*blends instead".
I tried both, applying skin cluster first and blends first. I know for input graph (there are no issue).
There was no such problem with Maya 2011. I use Setup machine for the rig.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow best to go about creating a "wire mesh". What i have tried is to create a solid flat (2mm thick) piece of material. I then draw a diamond shape on the surface & extrude it so as to give me a void.
Then i use the rectangular pattern option. The problem is that when i try putting in the amounts of the "holes" i need to brings up message to use optimized compute. I do that and then when i click to crate all the "holes" it comes up with a pattern failure error.
What other way can i use to create my object.
I 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?

I've been learning about skinning and weight painting. I have a problem where I don't see any color feedback on my mesh when I paint it. My vertices move with my brush strokes but I'm basically painting blindly as I can't see the colors. In all tutorials that i've found on the subject, they just activate the tool and the mesh turns black (or colorful depending on their settings)

I have created a TIN (triangulated irregular network) of an existing survey in my terrain modelling software (12d Model). I am able to export (save-as) the TIN as 3D Face Triangles for opening in AutoCAD (2012) or similar.
My ultimate goal is to create a solid surface in Inventor. The surface has to be seemless (stitched) in order for me to create a new sketch and extrude to this surface. Finally giving me a part in Inventor that represents my ground. I would then want to use the same process to bring into Inventor all other Civil Design works created in 12d Model such as roads, earthworks platforms (including dams) etc.
I've tried stitching (Inventor and Microstation) without success. Inventor keeps crashing and Microstation looses data. AutoCAD (2012) won't let me create a polyface mesh from 3D Faces. I tried doing a mesh, surface union without success. Programs either crash or data is lost.
Have a bit of a puzzle that's been bouncing around a bit. Is there a way to delay a object following it's parent for a few frames? For instance, I have a hook attached to a crane that rotates around, the hook following it around. If I could have it follow the crane at a bit of a lag, allowing the cable to curve slightly, it would look a deal more real. I know I could hand animate it, but is there a way to set it up so that the hook will follow the crane after a delay of say, 10 frames or so?
