Maya Modeling :: How To Make A Symmetrical Texture Map For Character

May 9, 2012

I am currently trying to make a symmetrical texture map for my character.

For example, I want the arms of a character to share the same texture pattern.

But I can't place the UV shell corresponding to one arm on top of the piece corresponding to the other arm because it doesn't match without flip.

If I'm trying to flip this shell it becomes shaded with a semi-transparent red color. But all UV shells must be shaded with blue and have a clockwise winding order. Am I right ?

Is there a way to reverse the winding order so the UVs match the original half's without physically flipping the UV shell on the U or V.

Maya Modeling :: Character Modeling From Animation Academy

Oct 14, 2011

I have a problem when I am modeling my character or rather the character from the animation academy. I have created an NURBS sphere and I want to adjust it to the arm, so I go to the component mode add some isosparms and then it happens!!! I can´t move any vertexes... but in the object mode I can move the hole object.

Maya Modeling :: New Character - Creating Afro

Feb 23, 2012

I am in the process of modeling a new character and have to ask this question. What is the best way to create an Afro. Right now, I am thinking about just modeling the base shape of how everything will look, and then applying Maya fur to the necessary faces. I also wanted to note that this will be an animated character as well.

I have attached an image of the style haircut I am going for .

Maya Modeling :: How To Bind Skeleton Of Character To Skin

Jun 29, 2013

I'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.

Maya Modeling :: UV Editor Isn't Changing Texture Display

Jan 4, 2014

No matter what changes I make in the UV texture editor, the texture on my model doesn't change (with the colors I put on it until I finalized the UV map, it would be pretty obvious). But nothing happens. Move UVs, Rotate UVs, Scale UVs--does not change the texture on the model.

 Am I missing something? This all used to work just fine. Is it a setting change? Is this something caused by brining a Maya2010 file into 2011?

Maya Modeling :: 2D Interactive Texture Placement Tool

Jul 2, 2013

I'm tyring to use the 2d Interactive Placment Tool without success. I can see the red box, I can see the arrow cursor and when I click I see the little arrow and box, but when I use the mmb nothing happens. I've seen a video demo and it works there, but when I try it no joy, very frustrating.

I drew a shape with the bezier tool and filled it in with the planar tool resulting in a shape that the Outliner calls a PlanarTrimmedSurfaceShape - I can see the texture, but it's wonky.

Maya Modeling :: Assigning Texture (JPG File) To Object

Apr 25, 2011

I'm trying to assign a jpg file to an eyeball and the file (containing the retina of the eyeball) comes out enlarged, even though it is not supposed to.

I'm using Blinn Material and hypershade to bring that texture to the eyeball, but every single time I try it, it comes out enlarged (see image attached). I've made sure I click on the Planar Mapping key before I try to copy the image onto my eyeball. I've also tried modifying the size of the image on Photoshop but not luck. If it matters, I'm using Windows 7.

What is the process that you take when creating a character. Don't feel the neeed to write a book I get the basics. Been out of the game for a while, but very glad to be back. Been playing around with fumefx, houdinni ocean, and ivy lately.

Maya Animation :: Make A Character Walk In Path With Mocap Cycle?

Sep 16, 2013

I have a mocap cycle cleaned up and read to cycle, with and without translation, the cycle with translation is perfect because it avoids the sliding feet probelm.

Is there a way to give this cycle a path to follow so it can walk along this path and take curves and those things?

I'm looking around the net, but I don't seem to be able to find anything, the only thing i was able to think of is the path contraint, but, if i'm right, it won't respect the cycle translation, and i can use it without translation but it will be hard to avoid the sliding feet problem.

Maya Modeling :: Can't Make Vertices Go Away

Feb 17, 2012

Maya 12 Hotfix 2, MacOS 10.6.8

When I am selecting objects, even in object mode I am getting this onslaught of bright yellow vertices, as though I had vertices selected in preferences or hotkeys... but I don't. All that stuff is off in my preferences. I can't seem to make it go away. Can't see faces for all the vertices cluttering up the view. Happening in all the panels.

Maya Modeling :: How To Make Geometry Like A Fever Chart

Apr 18, 2012

I'm working on a project that needs to make a renderable shape off a curve, the curve points are based on a random set of data - so basically I'm making a fever chart. I need the curve to go exactly along with the points, so I used bezier curve. The curve looks like pic-01

Since curve doesn't show up in render, so i'm trying to make a tube shape.
1) a polygon plane, then go edit mesh - extrude. like pic-02. The extrude division is the same amount of points
2) a nurbs circle, then go surface - extrude. like pic-03 and pic-04.

As you all can see, none of these two look good. I can understand that this is because the turns are too dramatic, but I wonder if there is a way to get around the limit and generate a graph like pic-05 in 3d.

Maya Modeling :: Can Make Scale Reflect The Actual Object Size

Jul 12, 2011

I have imported a model from C4D using the FBX importer, and everything was fine, except that it was way to big. I scaled it down to a more "manageable" size. So the scale reads 0.01 (All axis).

My question is, is there any way I can make Scale reflect the actual object size? Maya know these numbers, because they are present when using the universal manipulator tool. I would like it if the scene scale could reflect the real size of the object. So if i create a new object, the size relates to the size of the existing objects in the scene?

Can i put the real scale on the object, and then just "downscale the scene", so that the objects don`t appear giant? Like scene scale or something?

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Symmetrical Line Available From The Linetype

Nov 10, 2012

In our work we draw many symmetrical outlines.  In many cases, chiefly due to space constraint, we draw only half the outline and use a centerline of the symmetry to dimension the part.

Our current method is to use sketches to achieve this. I wonder if there is a way that we can make this linetype available from the styles?  Diagram attached below.

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?
