Maya Modeling :: How To Boolean / Engrave Text Onto Model
Jun 12, 2011
Have a model of a camera that was made out of polys, whats the best way to boolean / engrave text onto the model? i tried tons of things, deleting history before boolean diff, combining the objects then extracting. Result is that it either doesnt work or deletes both my text and my object. I always try to boolean things in my model because i lack experience with creating and applying displacement maps.
How to achieve this using boolean diff or can they suggest what to use as reference to learn how to create displacement maps.

I am trying to engrave some text on an object (a simple wall).When using Boolean/Difference between the polygon wall and the extruded text, every thing disappears.If I try to project the curves on a Nurbs surface, the Trim option does not see it as an object with curves.

I want to Boolean text onto a PolyPipe I made. Let me include a pic for reference.
Like I said, i built the "ring" with a Polygon Pipe turned 90 degrees. Then I created 3D text. but I do not know how to "bend" the text so that I can move it over part of the ring and Boolean it through.
I'm trying to update an old drawing that has been a part of my military organization for decades that was originally drawn on some old paper.

I am having both objects disappear after a Boolean Union (I am going to try creating just two random objects - a cube and a sphere - and seeing if the operation works with them).
One thing that I have thought is that the resolution of the mesh might be srewing up the operation (The sizes of the polygons in the two objects is pretty different).
So that might be a factor (when I am in Mudbox, I could try not subdividing the smaller objects as much as the larger one, so that the polygons are the same size).

I have a lofted surface and would like to make a difference with another surface.
This doesn't work (Difference returns absolutely the same 2 objects instead of Object1 - Object2).
In the attached example, I would like to have a square "window" in the "wagon" shape.How can I do it ?

I need to model a cloth in Maya 2012 as a part of a college assignment. I have attached a jpeg of my pre-production artwork, in it you can see the yellow cloth placed on two wooden planks. At the moment I am modelling the cloth by adjusting the vertices, but find it to be a bit tedious. Is there any other way for me get effective results. Since I am a beginner I would like to know the the different ways a little in detail.

I have a model which has already layouted uvs. I have to readjust small part of it in the modeling process. Soi deleated few faces and extruded new faces . When i want to automap the new part of the model nothing happens - in the uv texture editor there is simple square with 4 uvs although the faces of the new part is about 50 faces . How to map this part ?

I bought a 3d mesh model of a chair I want to make out of wood. To do this I want to use Maya to create 2D slices of the mesh model that I can use as templates for my woodwork.
The model looks great in Maya, but how to create these slices or 2D views and print them.

I have downloaded a drawing of a Spitfire from WWII. I have made the curves with the curve tool. I cannot seam to convert them to anything else. I am trying to "skin" the aircraft so I can make the fuselage.

I would like to edit the faces of a model I imported into Maya, but I cannot find the face option when I right click. When I create a polygon however, it works just fine on it. Is there any way I can convert the model into a polygon?

I'm modelling a complex curve for a fashion garment. I've always modelled in polygons in the past but have had more success on this project using nurbs, however I've got to a certain position and I'm wondering which way is the best way to model / create the next section of the garment(see image attached). Is it just the case of creating lots of section lines as lofting?

I am trying to align my model to my image plane. I marquee select the vertices but only the one in the front selects I have checked Back face culling and soft selections and made sure that they are not on but it is still not working.

I am trying out Maya 2012 and when i select faces or vertices and try to move on individually, the whole model move. I don't need that, i just need to move the face or vertice alone not the whole image. Also is there any way to download tutorial and installing it into Maya 2012. where i am working with Maya 2012 don't have internet to browse right away.

New when it comes to any kind of environment modeling, but I'm trying to make a simple landscape with grass and trees for a project.
I've got a nice ground plane and a simple grass plane with a texture applied from Photoshop. I was wondering if there is a way to paint instances of my grass object without manually duplicating and placing each individual blade of grass?

how to create cross sections without cutting up the model similar to applications like Autodesk Inventor? Maybe inserting a poly plane into the object and tell Maya to only render stuff in the normal direction of the plane if that is even possible?

I am almost done with my model. He is in a naked state for the sake of making sure the anatomy is correct. I am preparing to rig, texture, and animate him. I plan on modeling the shirt and pants separate and use Maya's nCloth for those. I have also modeled glasses that are a completely separate mesh that will need to follow every movement of the head of my model.
Here is my issue, I am puzzled on how to model my shoes and socks.
1) Should i model them as part of the legs to eliminate further animation?
2) Should I model thee shoes and socks separate from the legs?
way to form a hierarchy where i can model everything individually and then make the main body rig a parent to everything secondary (shoes, socks, glasses, etc...)?

I have got a problem by modeling a roof. The first picture attached shows it right at the moment. I want to keep the star one can see in the center of the picture but the edges look at bit problematic because it consist of 3 former independent cubes. The edges are shown in the second picture.
My question is if it is possible to make the star consist of squares to model it a bit easier. I use maya 2012 education.

I am trying to use the Boolean modifier more than one time on a box and it doesn't seem to work. I pick the Operand B to subtract on the second object I want to Boolean out, it disappears, but there is no hole there.

I'm attaching part of my mesh with another using the Boolean Tool. When I do this part of the mesh I'm using disappears when it shouldn't. How do I fix this?
Before Boolean (showing the two parts)
After Boolean (look at the railcars far left side its gone)

1. I try to engrave text in metal but that Emboss only brings text up (out) of background. Didn't find normal tutorial which would look like i want. Mostly they don't look engrave.
2. Got a "missunderstanding" with text on path. Coundn't get in right direction.
I got circle around which i want text. But by default it goes outside circle. If make full round around circle text at bottom is upside-down.
I need something like that but without transformation:
How to do that?
P.S. Is that understandable?

I was following a tut on how to create text and all was working well then I decided to delete my text from the viewing panel and start again and now I cannot create any text because I get this message - / Error: bevelPlus3 (Bevel Plus): Group 2 curve 2 is not inside the previous curve. Group these curves appropriately in Adobe (R) Illustrator (R)
What does this mean?? Im not even using illustrator! If I delete the word and write another one it seems to be ok but if I want to create my original word I get the same message again? Also the text doesn't look very good, some of the letters are sort of squashed or rubbing on others or the hollow parts missing etc.

I've created a model of a monkey in Maya. The model is symmetric along the X axis - however, the UVs are not.
I've just gotten to the stage where I'm rigging my model and discovered that I'm missing polygons for a finger joint on both hands. I'd like to insert some edge loops for this extra joint. I could do this by just adding the loops by hand, but if I do that, they'll be a little bit off and my model will no longer be symmetric. Alternately, I could delete the right half of my model, add the loops on the left half, and then mirror and merge my geometry. This would preserve the symmetry, but completely destroy the UV info on the right half of my model.
This seems like it would be a common modeling problem. Does Maya have a way I can add the extra cuts to my model, preserve symmetry and not force me to redo the UVs and texture map for my entire model?

I am trying to create engraved text into a graphic image, and I want the text to be white. I am following a few different tutorials I found searching the internet, and while they succeed at creating the engraved effect, the text always changes to black. When I try to change it from black to white, it turns yellow. How to make the text white, or a tutorial that specifically covers this?
Here is a link to the effect of the image I am going after (the facebook logo at the bottom). What I'm referring to: [URL]......

I'm using AutoCAD 2000 LT to generate DXF files to drive a CNC router for making panels for electronic equipment, which works fine.
I also want to export DXF files of text to engrave the panels. The router software from Step-Four says it needs the text exploded into objects (lines, curves etc) before importing the DXF file. How do I explode the text in AutoCAD for the DXF files?
