Turbo smooth on rig
-
iwkya 61 posts06 May 2009Im having a problem with turbo smooth. I have created a simple character and rigged it with CAT in 3ds max. When i apply the turbo smooth and try a walk cycle its fine but when i put it up to 2 iterations, the whole mesh get mashed up for some reason. I have to remove the smooth modifier and re apply it, but the same happens.
This isnt a CAT problem as its done it with biped and bones, nor is it a skin modifier prob as its done it with physique.. Can any one help me please ?)
Thanks -
06 May 2009Is the turbosmooth at the top of the stack?
If not, use meshsmooth instead, since sometimes there will be rare (VERY rare) instances where turbosmooth will cause geometry corruption.
Your other other option is to delete the turbosmooth modifier and replace it with another turbosmooth modifier. Sometimes a single modifier can get corrupted and just needs to be replaced. -
iwkya 61 posts06 May 2009Thanks for the reply man. The smooth is on top but it just kept on doing it all night. I replaced it with others yet they still did it so if the mesh is getting corrupt it must of been something with the mesh. Anyways, this morning, put the smooth back on, and its fine. It plays back etc great. Problem is, if im rendering and it decides to do it i have to fine the frame it did it on and replace it
.. but i can live with that. Weird. -
TheOnlyAaron 188 posts13 May 2009I have seen this problem, where turbosmooth will implode your mesh on random frames.
In these situations i just used Meshsmooth instead. It is a little slower, but much more robust, and you can change between smoothing algorithms.
Also another bug i found with the turbosmooth modifier is that having an instanced version across too many objects can make your scene really crawl, and undoos can take like 10 or more seconds. But switching it to unique turbosmooths everything works fine.
to manage the turbosmooths i have a tool using combos of this code to toggle them.
"
i.modifiers[#Turbosmooth].enabledInViews = false / true
i.modifiers[#Turbosmooth].enabled = false / true

iwkya 61 posts14 May 2009Yea this bug sux, i used meshsmooth instead.
I am having loads of little bugs since my company went to max 2010 but they will iron out.. CAT is amazing though
