Mudbox :: How To Remove PTex From Model

May 25, 2011

Just apply a new material, this doesn't work at all as it is always a ptex material. Trying to do an unwrap doesn't work as it says it is a ptex model. I can't save or load textures on the model as it is now a ptex material.

How am I supposed to remove ptex from this model? Mud 2012 obviously.

Mudbox :: PTEX Distortion And Visible Texture

Nov 7, 2013

I'm working with Maya 2013 and Mudbox 2013, and try to use PTEX painting in order to paint my character. 
 
Anyway, for some reason, I'm getting visible coloring seams and distortion along them when trying to color with a stencil/stamp over some regions on the model. 
 
Usually, texture gets distorted around extruded regions on my model, and if that's the case - the whole benefit of painting seamless texture goes out of the window.
 
I tried increasing/decreasing PTEX resolution, also searched in this forum and tried also edge bleed reduction/increase - unsuccessfully in all. Seams are very visible and texture is distorted. 
 
Now, maybe it's something that is related to the natural bounds of the PTEX technology, but maybe it's just some obvious solution I'm just completely missing.

My work process is importing models from Maya by using Send To Mudbox option, then setting up PTEX with the proper resolution and starting to work.

Mudbox :: PTex Paint Model Export To UVs?

Oct 12, 2011

If I don't set up UVs in my model and instead use PTex painting in Mudbox, can I then export the model to OBJ with UVW maps? I would like to import the model to Octane render which imports OBJ files and their UVW mapping.

I have Mudbox 2009 and am contemplating downloading the 2012 demo to see if Ptex painting makes things easier for me, but it won't work if I can't then bring the painted model into Octane or into my license of Max 2011.

Mudbox :: Ptex Setup Not Using Surface Derivatives

Oct 12, 2011

When I setup a model for ptex painting in mudbox, it's not properly using the surface derivatives of the mesh's faces. Thus the faces which are really small are getting the same size texel data as big ones. This obviously is bad because anything with small bevels and hard surface type work becomes incredibly problematic.

Mudbox :: Artifacts When Increasing Ptex Resolution

i have an obj with a layer in multiple channel, and when im increasing the ptex setup locally in some area, it seems to create artifacts in the Normalmap Channel. It looks like the mapping is broken only in this channel.

Mudbox :: How To Export Ptex Paint Layer To Be Used In Another Application

Feb 25, 2012

I'm having a problem trying to export a ptex paint layer to be used in another application.

For some reason when I export it, everything seems to work just fine, until get gets to calculating tangents and then it hangs forever on 99%... Every way I try saving the file, it does this. I can easily paint on my mesh, and save the project file, but I can't export the ptex file.

Deleting the mydocuments/mudbox folder which I did.

I'm using mudbox 2012 64bit on Win 7.

Mudbox :: PTEX Vector Displacement Map Used As A Stencil Or Stamp?

Jun 29, 2013

Can a PTEX vector displacement map be used as a stencil or stamp? If not, what's the workflow for going from a PTEX sculpt to a vector displacement texture (e.g. TIFF) that can be used as a stencil / sculpt.
 
The problem I'm experiencing is that I sculpted a plane with PTEX and exported a PTEX vector displacement map, however, when I go to the Image Browser to attempt to use it as a stencil or stamp the PTEX file does not show up. The only files I can see in the browser are TIFF, PNG, etc. If I change the Output Options > Map Type to from PTEX to Texture I get an error: "At least on target model has been set up for PTEX. You must select PTEX format(*.ptx) for maps extracted using this target."

Mudbox :: Failed To Load Texture Files

Jul 14, 2012

I have a problem with loading the paint layers on my object.

I created an object in another software and then imported it into Mudbox. Here I started painting the object, but when I close and re-open Mudbox I get the error: "Failed to load texture files both ... and ..." (my two paint layers). I had this same error two days ago on a similar object, when I moved only the ".mud" file to a different location, but then I realized I need to move also the ".bak" file and the folder containing the layers into that new location and the error was solved. This time, the .mud, .bak and the folder are all in the same location, they all have the same name but I still get the error. When I open Mudbox I just get my object as it was when I imported it, with no painting on it (even though the two paint layers appear in the "Layers" tab), and with the error mentioned above.

Mudbox :: Importing The FBX File

Mar 8, 2011

I am working with a human body mesh that I made in maya. The model is all quads, and has been sent to maya and exported back to Mudbox using .fbx many times.

The problem is: On my most recent trip from maya 2011 to mudbox 2011 the smooth tool no longer works the same. The tool still smooths but it tries to arrange the quads from my mesh from rectangles to a more diamond & star pattern. When I open a different file everything works like normal.

There are no errors when importing the FBX file, and every other tool works as it should.

I am relatively new to maya, and just self-taught with mudbox, so there is a very good chance that I may have caused the problem, but I cant find any settings that I would have accidentally adjusted and the problem stays with this mesh even if I import it into a different mudbox file.

For all I know it wont effect my final rigging and animation, but Ive never had it happen before on any other model and from how nasty it makes the mesh look I cant imagine it would be good.

I attached a before and after image of what happens when I use the smooth brush.

Mudbox :: How To Open New File Or Import OBJ Or FBX

Jan 8, 2012

I have the student version of Mudbox 2012 - 64-bit installed on a Windows 7 platform. Long story short, Mudbox crashes whenever I try to open a new file, or even import an OBJ or FBX.

The screen blacks out and when it turns back on, I get a notification saying "Display Driver AMD successfully recovered from an error".. and the Mudbox window remains black. What's more, when this happens, Maya crashes too!

Some more system specs: (more in attachment)
Windows 7 - 64-bit
8GB DDR3 RAM
AMD ATi Radeon HD5870 with CrossFireX (tried disabling Crossfire, but problem persists)

Does it might be an issue with my graphics card driver? I don't want to upgrade the driver unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary. I'd be glad to even toss out 2012 and get back to 2011 if that's stable..

Mudbox :: Transfer Pose Bones From One File To Another To Use Them For Another Mesh?

Mudbox :: How To Export 2014 File To 2013 With Subdivision Level

Jan 30, 2014

I have a character model in Mudbox 2014. I exported the face, body and hands as individual .obj files, each at its maximum subdivision level. But in Mudbox 2013 the sculpting layers are all flattened on the main layer.

Is there an option to keep the sculpting and painting layers intact?

Lightroom :: Setting To Force Saved File Back In Line Next To File That Was Edited In PS?

Jan 23, 2013

When I send a file to Ps from Lr, edit that file then save it, Lr puts that file at the end of the line instead of next to the file I was working on.  When you have 600 photos in a down loud, it is a pain to scroll through the photo's to find your place again. 

Is there a setting to force the saved file back in line next to the file that was edited in Ps?

Lightroom :: Correcting Imported File Names (way To Bulk Rename Back To Original File Names)

Dec 18, 2011

I accidentally included a file rename when I just imported a batch of several hundred pictures. I violated a rule that I teach my own Lightroom students, and that is to look carefully at the import panel choices before proceeding.
 
How can I correct this so that the files are named as they originally were? I know how to easily fix the filenames in Windows (using a tool called BulkRename, for example), but then I'd have to "find" each image one-by-one and correctly point to the renamed version. I tried selecting all the images and then using F2 to rename, but none of the templates allow deleting a portion of the filename.
 
P.S. Here is an example of what I mean:
 
ON CARD:
IMG_0001.NEF
...
IMG_0300.NEF
 
WHAT I RENAMED TO ACCIDENTALLY:

IMG_0001 {shot by John Doe}.NEF
...
IMG_0300 {shot by John Doe}.NEF

VideoStudio :: X5 Won't Let To Load File

Oct 23, 2012

I have VS12. I downloaded the trial version of X5, mainly to see if it could read my VS12 files. It could. I used X5 to render a VS12 file that had continually crashed when I tried to rendered it with VS12. Not only did it render it successfully, but it did it about twice as fast as VS12 - great. However, that was yesterday. Today I've been trying to reload the original file into X5 again & I just get the message "File xxxx is already in use". Running X5 by double-clicking on the file, running X5 first & clicking the filename from the file menu or clicking Open from the file menu & selecting the file from the list - all give that result. The only way I have loaded the file is to run X5 & drag the file to the timeline. The file has opened, but the project is shown as untitled, even though there is a title. Also the project is shown as a single entity on the timeline, not made up of individual frames & captions. Where has my project gone? Is it still in X5? I've tried to open other projects, & they all give the same message! I can't try out my trial version I it won't load my projects!

PS I've just spent a few minutes holding the mouse pointer over various icons on the X5 screen & clicking a few to see where I got. After that, I had another go at loading the file - & it loaded successfully!! I assume when I loaded X5, it came up in some mode & I managed to get it out of it.

I've been found a bit of a problem, when I try to assign an IES file to a light MAX Design hard crashes. The odd part is that when I open the IES file in 3ds MAX, not Design, it loads correctly. I've installed all the updates but it still happens.

I've attached the IES files in question, how can get it to work.

Edit- apparently I can't attach the IES files for some reason.

Lightroom :: 5 Does Not Load GPX File

Jan 12, 2014

In LR4, I was able to create a gpx file on my iPhone while on a photowalk using the "Trails" application.  When done the walk, I would email myself that tracklog and save it on my desktop.  Using LR5, I can select my gpx file on the desktop, but it does not load.  Nothing happens.  In LR4, it would show my route on the maps screen and I could auto tag images.  But not in LR5.
 
How can I get LR to read my track logs again so that I could auto tag my photographs. 
 
I ensured that the camera and iPhone clock were both synchronized before the walk. 
 
I am using OSX (all updates applied) and LR5.3.

AutoCad :: Getting Bad Definition When Trying To Load LIN File?

Aug 13, 2012

I have a .lin file, that keeps giving me several "Bad Definition" dings. I acquired this ".lin" file at a previous job, and am not sure why I can not get it to load correctly now.

I am not the best, at writing computer language, so I know my issue is operator error, and me being the operator; I don't know how to solve it. I changed the ending of the file to ".txt" so it would upload, I couldn't get it too attach in the ".lin" format.

On another note, I'm extremely distracted right now from work, after Yahoo flashed there was a shooting incident at Texas A&M Univ. It makes a person wonder, "What is going on, with all the gun violence lately?"
