I can't seem to get this to work on planes, is that considered a Nurb? (something you say isn't possible with this tool). Works fine on boxes.
@malcolm341 Күн бұрын
@caponeart3596 Should work on any polygon mesh that has at least 2 verts. I just tried it on a polygon quad primitive and it's working for me. NURBS are a different type of geometry, they are not polygons so it won't work on NURBS planes, but it will work on poly plane. NURBS primitives are blue in the create menu and polygons are orange. Send me an e-mail to [email protected] if you need further help.

downloaded a character that has .tbmat materials, how can i add asign them to my character in maya, gives error.
@malcolm341 8 күн бұрын
@epereyralucena As far as I know toolbag materials can only be loaded inside of Marmoset Toolbag. You'd need to open the character in Toolbag and export the material's textures into a format Maya can read and then create Maya materials and plug the textures in. Also you can try exporting the mesh out of Toolbag as .fbx and see if it converts the materials for you, and then import the .fbx into Maya and see what you get.

@QCode11 Nice, glad it's helpful. I was shown another way to do it recently as well where you don't even need to create the cylinder. You can actually do it with only one mesh required. Create a cube and use the cut tool to add one horizontal edge on the side of the cube which will make up the face we're going to wedge. Now add another horizontal edge below the first edge and that will be used to create the gap/inner curve we would normally create the cylinder for. Now go into multi-select mode and select the upper face we created followed by the lower of the two edges. Use wedge and you'll get the same result without the need for the cylinder.
@QCode11 Ай бұрын
@@malcolm341 So here what I did was cut a cube in half by multicut, then used the upper face with the lower edge of the lower half, and it does work like a charm!! Another option was to add any temp cube and, add optional edge loops, then use any edge to "wedge the face around" that way the selected edge seems to act as the "pivot" for the face to "wedge" around, thanks a lot for the tips!! knowing how to do things multiple ways definitely helps a lot!! And here we are many years later I found your channel to be of great resource when I need 'technical' know-how to do things!!

Can you tell me how to change the default shader of maya2024 back to lambert? I tried to modify your code, but it didn't work.
@malcolm341 Ай бұрын
@陈厚成 Sure, I had replied to your previous comment below, but your KZbin account is either not subscribed or you've turned notifications off so you never saw my previous message. I've pasted my earlier response again. Here's the code for default lambert1, but you should know Autodesk changed the way the viewport works in 2024 where they have adjusted the default light intensity to 3.140 so standarsurface doesn't look blown out. So if you make a lambert material in the current version of Maya it will look really bright. You can adjust the brightness in the render settings in viewport 2.0 or I can add it to the code below to automatically set the lighting back to 1.0 //***************************************************************************************** //The code for Default Lambert Shader globla proc m341_defaultLambert() { connectAttr -f lambert1.outColor initialShadingGroup.surfaceShader; } scriptJob -compressUndo 1 -runOnce 0 -event "SceneOpened" "m341_defaultLambert"; //***************************************************************************************** //The code for Default Lambert Shader and changing the viewport light back to 2023 globla proc m341_defaultLambert() { connectAttr -f lambert1.outColor initialShadingGroup.surfaceShader; setAttr "hardwareRenderingGlobals.defaultLightIntensity" 1; } scriptJob -compressUndo 1 -runOnce 0 -event "SceneOpened" "m341_defaultLambert";

@QCode11 an even faster way to do it is avoid the jig all together and add a temp edge to your object to use as the pivot point. For example create a cube and add a horizontal edge near the bottom of the cube, select the face above the edge plus the buttom edge of the cube, not the edge you just created and then wedge. That will allow you to concron the inner shape of the wedge on the same mesh.

@陈厚成 Ай бұрын
Just like maya2024, I don't want to use the default standardsurface as the default shader at all, but it can't be changed back to lambert； at all; And now the default lighting intensity has changed to 3.14, and it can't be changed back to the old version of 1; The default color space is aces. I don't want to use aces at all, but every time I open maya, it uses sces. What they update every year is like squeezing toothpaste. Either they don't update, or they are useless, or they are not as good as the old version. I want to say that even if you want to use standardsurface as the default material, should you leave an option for users to choose whether they can change back to the old version? Because everyone has used the old version for so many years, I think there are still many users who don't want these modifications. So whether the right to choose should be given to the user instead of forcing the user to accept it.

Hey Malcolm! I want to buy your tool, but would like to have the functionality of import and replace. So I can go to a folder with multiple .objs import them all at once and have them replace all objects in the scene while maintaining hierarchy. If there are objects in the folder that couldn't find a matching one in the scene then have those parented into a "no_match_grp"
@malcolm341 2 ай бұрын
@Hazteloniga I'm sorry, but the tool can't do a replace in scene. It can only import multiple .obj files. You would then need to use the default replace objects tool found in Maya to replace the old meshes with the new meshes. Hierarchy is tricky though because the replace objects tool doesn't respect hierarchy. There might be a way to automate some of your workflow, but I'd need to see your exact scene file to see if I could write a script or something.

@GameDev-o2t As far as I know Marmoset doesn't support multiple UV sets on one mesh, each UV set needs to have one corresponding material in Maya applied. Marmoset doesn't support UDIM workflow last time I checked so if you have multiple textures applied in Maya each texture needs to have a separate material applied to those faces you want to see the texture on in Marmoset. In Maya you just export the low poly file as .fbx with multiple materials applied and it should import into Marmoset with multiple materials named how you named them in Maya. After that just plug your texture files into the Marmoset material slots.

i tried to add the attricutes sheet the same way you did at 8:00 but the line doesn't go blue and it just moves from side to side. is there any other way to do it? (a beginner asking:( )

@Kimnn23 Hi, yes should work I just gave it a try and was able to dock it to the right hand side. Make sure you right click the existing tab you're trying to dock to and choose tab direction right. Another thing to check for the attribute editor specifically is go into Windows> Settings/Preferences> Preferences> UI Elements> Editor in Main Window> uncheck attribute editor checkbox. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you! I use Quill which is a vertex-colour based art software but I've never been able to get them to render in Arnold until now.

@@ACES-BRAZIL I'm not sure how to do that, I know you can use a set driven key to control a colour attribute on the shader and attach that to some part of your mesh movement so it changes colour as the mesh animates, but I'm not sure how to determine velocity of the mesh movement if that's how you want the colour to change.

@@sergeyandreev2599 I've never tried Minecraft, but maybe the creators didn't like the look of how mips would blur the textures, but I think even for stylized games they're valuable if the game can run them at 8x or 16x anisotropic texture filtering.

A great addition would be to auto sew as much as possible so there are fewer UV Shells. Also when it does the layout you can allow non unform scaling to reduce even more empty space. Stretching isnt a big concern for lightmaps but empty space is the real enemy.

@RikiB Try the Create LM UV's by Angle 30 button for fewest seams, it will try to only cut UV shells on normal angles greater than 30. I'll add a checkbox for non-uniform UV layout.
