Maya Animation :: How To Smooth Bind A Mesh To Skeleton
Nov 18, 2011How can I smooth bind a mesh to the skeleton and have everything start out at 0. (so basically nothing gets moved by the skeleton.) So that I can add the weight wherever I want manually.

Sep 7, 2012I have problem when i duplicate polygon another side of model. The object is not smooth, it look like different model. I try to "combine" and "mesh" vertex from middle of object. but it still same. The polygon will smooth if i use "smooth tool". But i need low polygon for transfer map from high polygon to low polygon. but it not work, because low polygon look like different model.
I need smooth low polygon, but not to much smooth. I need only when i duplicate polygon, it not look like different model is okay.

May 5, 2011I am currently trying to bind the skin for a character using a rig created from a Digital Tutors Tutorial. The rig I've build seems to be working fine however when I created the smooth skin bind the thighs collapse when the leg is raised. I've tried fixing it using the interactive skin weight tool but it doesn't seem to make any difference. i have included pictures of a quick render as well as the weight influence of the knee and hip joints.

Apr 3, 2013I am working on (yet another) minecraft character rig xD
So i have set up a facial control panel, using blend shapes and driven keys, but i need it to follow my character. If i parent it to the head, i doesn't follow when i grab the skeleton and move the character around, and if i bind it to the neck joint, i am not able to use the control panel, because the movement of the controls are locked, since they're binded to a joint.

Maya Animation :: Randomly Animate Vertex Position
Jan 16, 2013Is there any way to randomly animate vertex position?

Sep 25, 2010I think i may have a 'major' problem, when i do a detach skin, the skeleton is ok but the skin changes size and direction as well as place, i think it's because i resized after the first bind skin, now i'm trying to reset bindpose but doesn't seem to affect the skin, i need to fix this so bad and i feel like i'm between a rock and a hard place, is there a way out of this mesh?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMaya Animation :: Reconnect Soft Modifications On Identical Mesh?
Apr 15, 2011I'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?
Maya Animation :: Parenting Objects To Mesh (button / Buckle)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMaya Animation :: Skinned Mesh Goes Dark (imported To Unity3D)
Oct 1, 2012When 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.
Maya Animation :: Blend Shapes To Mesh With Skin Cluster
Apr 4, 2012Like 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.

Apr 14, 2012I'm trying to connect. On the inputs, I'm loading the control curve, on the outputs, the cluster.
I'm trying to connect the translate values.
However, it doesn't allow me to select the input first. I can select the output first, but that puts the connection backwards.
I don't see why a control curve can't be connected to a cluster? Or is something wrong with my Connection Editor?

GIMP :: How To Bind Rectangle Selection Within Image
Jan 24, 2013In Photoshop, when I make a selection of an image, the rectangle selection tool stays within the bounds of the image (layer). I would like to do this in GIMP, but the selection is allowed to extend beyond the photo, and basically select blank space.
Basically, I would like to do this so that I can have a fixed ratio box and be able to move it to the very edge of the image without having to worry about making sure the cursor lands exactly on the edge. I'm sure it is a simple option to select somewhere
Maya Modeling :: How To Bind Skeleton Of Character To Skin
Jun 29, 2013I'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.
View 1 Replies View Related3ds Max :: FBX Export With Vertex Animation
Aug 19, 2012I've got an animated model in 3Ds MAX which is done by applying Taper modifier. I'm trying to export this to FBX format including animation and then import it to another application called fragMOTION which only supports Skeleton animation and Vertex animation.
But the problem is fragMOTION does not show any animation frames while if I turn off the modifier and do a simple translation or rotation animation it is imported as it's supposed to be.
I also tried to Bake animation or Point Cache but no success. I can bake the animation into keyframes by using Cloth modifier so the result would be an animated Editable Mesh (keyframes) without any modifier in stack.
Should I take any additional step to convert the animation into Skeleton or Vertex animation?
