How 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.
im using 3dsmax 2012 & mudbox 2012, & the problem is when after im texturing the scene (mudbox) i want to updating textures in current scene features to 3dsmax, the problem is my mesh always repositiong or scaled down etc. everytime i had to always realign (affect object only) the pivot to correct positions or rescale back.i tried to matched the units setup on max & still the problem occur. fyi im only do texturing part by part because i cant texturing the whole model on mudbox at once because of its to heavy for my pc.
UPDATE 1ok i found the main culprit is - the pivot. the stubborn pivot keeps retain its old position which is not center with the objects when im updating..Now struggling to find solutions for this stubborn pivot
UPDATE 2Ok i found the solution.make sure reset your pivot back to its original positions.(aka Reset Pivot)but the ugly thing is the original usually not centered, but its ok for me since i just want to do just the texture job.after texturing we can set the pivot center to object back again.
I've got Mudbox 64 bit and every time I create a new mesh the texture seems flat (Image Included) I've recently upgraded my system from 32 bit to 64 bit, and I never had this happen with the 32 Bit.

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.

I'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?
have a little probelem with the send to Mudbox option. It producecs a Mesh with triangles while transfer. When i then update it back, it updates the same triangle mesh back to Max. Don't have the Problem with send to XSI or Motionbulder.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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 ?
Is it possible to transfer pose bones(weights) from one Mudbox file to another to use them for another mesh? I can see that one can maybe use .fbx and Maya path but not everyone has Maya or a Maya user.

I'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 2 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly that has somewhere a hole with a round bar that exactly fits in this hole. But when meshing the assembly, the mesh of the hole and the mesh of the bar are different.
The result is that the different parts do only seem to touch each other at the edges of the mesh, resulting in high stresses.
See picture.
I tried to made a derived part from the assembly, but that one does not finish meshing. After 48 hours, the progress bar is still half way. While the one above did finish in about 15 minutes. What can I do to make the meshes match?
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?

Month ago, I installed Photoshop cs6 extended on my windows 8 machine. My probelm is simply the following; everytime I run cs6 my whole computer get frozen, so I have to go and force the shoutdown, like cutting the power. Sometimes I get lucky and photoshop works, then for some reason it freezes again.
I reinstalled it many times, I even reinstalled windows 8. I started to feel that this frequent crashes are even curropting my windows 8 files, in a point that windows 8 sometimes cant get to load from the first time so I hae to repair it. Windows 8 by the way works great with me, until I install and use photoshop. Now I have got a load of work that I cannot do because I cannot run Photoshop properly.
These are some information about my PC:

When working in CS2 about every 10 minutes or so i'll go into my menu bar and it's locked up. No menu's drop down. The toolbox and all the tools and all keyboard shortcuts work but that's it. When I click on file, edit, etc. nothing happens. I have to ctrl+s and close Photoshop. A real pain in the ass. Adobe was no help so I'm reaching out to all you good people. My system is clean is any viruses, spyware and ad ware. I have no other problems of any kind and I'm working with small files (avg. 2 megs) with plenty of RAM (512 MB)

we discovered a potential bug or issue in photoshop:under daily working conditions, 8h per day, during the last months/year i can observe the following behavior:suddenly, at any action, the photoshop interface (all palettes, windows, everything) freezes and doesnt react on any mouse or button command. can wait for minutes, nothing happens.
found workaround: switch to finder by clicking with mouse pointer into the finder desktop,and switch back to photoshop > interface is back and reacts again, everythings fine. condition of bug: very annoying but can live with it so far through my workaround frequenzy: several times a day (up to 20 or 30 times per day)
