I've got a low poly mesh that looks great if sub-divided to level 3.
Is it possible to edit the mesh at level 1 while viewing the mesh sub-divided at level 3 - using Mudbox 2011 or 2012?
What level is it advisable to pose a model. Coz revently I posed at a high mesh level(level 6 subdivision) only to find out that there was a lot of distortion in the arms when i actually brought the model to a lower level after the posing.

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.
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.

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 ?
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?
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Text Extrusions in Photoshop CC (Ext) as I typically model in a 3D app. I'm modeling text that will merge with a photographic background. All the tools are fairly straightforward, but I keep getting hard edges on the text bevels. I just want a basic smooth rounded bevel (fairly narrow). But the bevel options I choose all tend to create a dark outline at the bevel. Is it possible to edit the bevel options?
Also, even though I have selected soft shadows, the shadows cast by the letter form onto itself have hard edged ray trace shadows. Is there a setting the will soft the shadow edges? I have viewed a couple of useful tutorial videos, but they don't address the issues I'm trying to solve.
I am using Inventor 2013, with the stl importer plugin also installed. I have had a objected scanned and the scan is been given to me in STL file.
As you may know that once something is scanned, it becomes a mesh object with many triangle faces. This is more evident on curved parts of the object.
Is there any way to smooth the surface so the curves do no look like very small step trying to form a curve? If the surface does not become smoothed out so its seen as one surface then I will have to adjust every small face at a time?
I've just extruded a face. I realize I need make a slight adjustment. I don't want to undo the extrudtion nor do I want do an Edit Mesh to create a new extrusion.Is there an easy way to readjust an extrudtion?

i was wondering if there is a way to determine the direction of the edge extrude when you extrude an edge in an editable mesh.
so i have an edit mesh and i want to extrude an edge. imagine it's just a basic surface. i wish the edge would be extruded to be running exactly in the direction of the previous edge. hope that makes sense...
basically regardless of local/world/viewport mode and regardless of which viewport i am in the edge seems to be extruded in an arbitrary direction..
I am trying to edit a photo using the mesh warp tool. I have it exactly as I want it, but when I go to apply it, every part of the photo I have warped gets deleted and I just get the white background underneath. I have looked online for guides and videos but when they apply their changes their edits stay exactly the same!

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhy does Photoshop reckon 0 divided by 0 is 0 when doing arithmetic with colour components?I guess the program logic assumes 0 divided by anything is 0, never proceeding as far as considering that a divisor of 0 is involved. But I wonder if this handling of 0 / 0 is deliberate for a reason that eludes me.
For a non-zero number divided by 0, Photoshop produces the maximum value of a colour component (e.g. 255 in 8 bits). That is sensible and the same result should arise from dividing 0 by 0, surely. (Other graphics software does consider 0 / 0 to produce max.)
Look at the contrived example below. The black disc in Divide mode should result in a white disc, but wherever an underlying colour component is 0, the resulting colour component is 0 instead of max. (Don't bother measuring the pixels in the screenshot - they've been converted from sRGB to my display profile then to sRGB again without infinite precision.)
I am trying to adjust the noise level with the level tool but its not working. I move the arrows every which way see that it changes. I get it to were i want it them press ok and it only changes a little bit.
It become what it was in the preview. The level tool works when I add it as a new adjustment layer but I don't want like that I want to be able to copy the new level of noise I just made and can't if I add new adjustment. what should I do to fix this? O and this is the trial version and It wasn't working earlier with lots of other tool but i uninstalled it and now they are working except the level tool how I want it to.
The underlay does not show up for Level 1 when I am on Level 2, but it does show up for Level 2 when I am on Level 1. the underlay option is on for Level 1, so I'm not sure why it's not showing up. I am using Revit 2014.
