This is a huge longshot, but does anyone have the braid/spiral creation script for Maya? It was on highend3d but the site has been down for 6 months with no telling when it'll come up. The script was EXTREMELY useful for creating fast nice looking braids to use with modeling or xgen.

It looks like a lightning problem because even if you rearrange it in UV, you can see the same problem in this picture: >>993332
I don’t know how lightning in 3DMax works do might want to look into it.

The smart extrude algorithm initiates the boolean operation only on the faces that contact the surface first, by making it planar you are forcing the program to take all faces into account.

You must get into poly modeling if you want to achieve reference.

Mesh is having trouble maintaining circularity in this spot because you have an unbalanced loop. Cylinders are tricky because the only good wat to maintain a perfect circular shape is to subd the whole circumference in regular loops.

I’m learning Maya so I can create some game assets. It’s so frustrating how much better the Blender tutorials are on YouTube though. Most of the Maya tutorials are done by pajeets with awful microphones and bad instructions. Does anyone know of any channels that have higher quality stuff in regards to Maya? So far GameDevAcademy's 4 hour intro video has been really good but I'm struggling to find more of that level of quality.

It's not a texture it's a triangulation problem.
Convert to edit poly > select wall face > retriangulate.
If problem persists retriangulate manually.
If problem persists use optimize modifier with auto edge.

I should've specified my b, this is in Maya. I fixed it by just not applying texture to the outer wall. Seems like if I apply the texture to the outside then the overlapping happens (although it only shows up when rendering the image)

Is there a similar re-triangulate setting in Maya?

This is why an autodesk general doesnt work because autodesk programs are alien to eachother.
If this is something happening in the arnold buffer you should shack your mesh settings. My vague memory tells me there is a quad split option in the mesh settings.
This will prevent unwanted rendertime retriangulation.

Yes, the UV bow should not be rounded, it needs to stay in squares or at very least close to how you would draw it. One of the bows is out of bounds so that is why you get that render. Lastly, the UV camera angle needs a lot of work.
I don’t know if it’s me or what but did you super size the UVs to unreasonable levels? Also why EXR format, you can use png or other photo formats that can capture the roughness of the model. What have you been doing…

The texture is 4k so I have to increase the size of the UVs so that it doesn’t look blurry, I probably overdid it though as you mentioned it’s out of bounds.
I just snapped a pic using snipping tool which is why it’s a jpg
Anonymous at Tue, 3 Sep 2024 23:58:58 UTC No. 994210
>>994205
No one ever told you that using outside tiles is just a repeat of the original 4K. This is why everything is only in block1 and only rarely would anyone use outside block2 or 4. The size of material won’t matter much unless you want it to be super detailed. The UV cameras and UV shapes are the thing you need to fix.

Retard here. Could you guys point me in the right direction with Fusion 360? Took this model from the internet but I need to shorten the distance between these two big bolt holes and 3D print it. I can cut it in the slicer obviously, but it wont keep the same curve going down to the second bolt hole. Surely there's some tool that can do this.

Let me guess you found that you've been using the bevel tool incorrectly and you should be doing it with offsets instead of fractions?

so working with stls in fusion kidna sucks but its doable. You want to select all of the tris in the holle and the bevel and just delete them, then fill it.
Also, its probably smart to convert the model before you do anything. its been a while but i remember doing the same shit with models in the past.
Or jsut rebuild it like you were thinking about, thats a pretty good model to learn from replicating

you probably want to build the shape first then cut the holes afterwards. if you want to original sleek curvature of the original model, i think lofting with a few guide lines will be your friend

You can complement your workflow with Blender, since its modeling and sculpting tools are generally better than Maya's, but switching programs over entirely would be a downgrade.

Blender can’t handle millions of polygons even with higher graphics cards. It doesn’t offer symmetry or auto repto. Only dumb people would continue to use ancient methods that takes days to complete a model vs another software like Wings3D that just works.
Also, maya’s UV editing offers more opportunities to create it for many studios compared to Blender’s backwater of UV editing. Wings3D is obviously better too because it’s designed to get simple UV to work.
Anonymous at Mon, 16 Sep 2024 00:15:34 UTC No. 995390

I dunno what you're doing that makes it unable to handle 'millions' of polygons because I routinely make models that go over 10 million by the end of the project.
Also why would you ever suggest Wings3D? That program is dogwater shit I first learned 3D with. Never suggest it as a serious tool.

dummy this is 101 of UV texturing, you need to work in the small square, ZOOM the UV until you see ONE square and packaged everything around it, this is hilariously bad but dont worry, one time mistake, promise?

If you mean the sort of jittering effect 3D PS1 games had, you can achieve this in Maya by moving the scene/characters extremely far from the origin. What happens is that the transformation values get so big, that they go over the 32 bit float limit, and lose accuracy due to it, which causes the effect.
