I am confused which is the most common tool used.. subd or poly for environments.. I am not a gaming student.. but still low poly counts which gives smoothness on modelling would be better instead of adding bevels and lots of edges to achieve smoothness..

Please see screener- its close, but a little soft. In ZB, I've set the Normal Map w/ the "Adaptive" setting for better quality, the res is 2048, and I'm rendering in Mental Ray at production quality w/ the Bump filter turned off. I used the GoZ method for setting up the Normal and Disp Maps. Any advice appreciated, thank you

My client has supplied me with .3ds and an .fbx file type of a car model. The fbx file when opened in maya is all triangulated. All the polygon flow seems to be in triangle and really messy mesh. I don't have much experience with max. Is there a way inside of 3ds max that when I export the mesh into an obj or an fbx file, it retains its quads.

I have tried using the quadtriangulate in Maya and it hasn't made much difference. I have played with increasing and decreasing the angle threshold , hasn't helped me much.

Thanks guys your help is really appreciated.

cheers

I have been following the Rigging Quadrupeds in Maya course. Its pretty good. The problem is 2013 seems a good bit different than the version used in the tut.

For just 1 of several examples, the paint weights on smooth bound skin tool is dramatically different from the tool in v8.5.
So Im at a little loss on how to make the instructions work for me. Other then these issues the tut is easy enough to follow. But the differences are really getting in the way.

I saw that the rigging course for big cats is in v.2013. Can I watch that one and get from it what I would from the horse tut? In the end I am trying to rig a deer.

Please give me advise.

Thanks. ]]> CG General sandhill http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/showthread.php?35757-Rigging-Quadrupeds-in-Maya8.5-vs-2013 Version Logos http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/showthread.php?35756-Version-Logos&goto=newpost Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:08:23 GMT This might seem trite but I was hoping that DT would not update the logos older versions of software with the newest or most current logos. Maya 2009 should have the logo that it came with and shouldn't have the same logo as Maya 2013 for instance. It would be helpful to have this visual cue when perusing the video libraries, or have a small version number accompanying it. ]]> Feature Requests for Digital-Tutors.com Southbirch http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/showthread.php?35756-Version-Logos
