Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2024
Doggo for a game in development 
doing my part for the team 
This is the new version, the old one was something really fast I made for a game jam, you can look at it here: https://linktr.ee/CompanionGame
Funny thing is i had to improvise 3d animation for that project , had lots of fun.

Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
This might depend how you models this; while retrying this i did this with insetting the face and afterwards adjusting them to that oval shape. Whether if you simple scale the outer edges inwards (not on surface along Y in you blender screnshot) or even vertex slid them on the diagonal to stay on the original surface, when doing an additional inset and then extrude downwards..
But the loop at the "hole edge come up a little" when using subdiv. So this might be opimized by "simply" moving the control loops i bit downward.. (left original , right pushed down)

Re: 3ds Max - change the default settings on UVW Unwrap
I think it might be different for older versions of max, but for max 2012 you can edit this file
"C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2012 - 64bit\enu\plugcfg\unwrapuvw.ini"
set RelaxType=0 for relax by face angles.

Re: Advanced Skeleton control rig into UE5 question!
the eyes offset is most easily fixed by unbinding, removing the bind pose, and rebinding them. Since they 100% weight to a single joint this is an easy fix.
if during the setup of the fit skeleton it complains about joints not being zeroed out this can also be the issue, if you ignored that.
One time I had a similar issue and the only fix I could find was just to delete the problem joints and rebuild the fitskeleton. This is why saving out versions of the rig file comes in handy, as well as saving your skin weights. That way you don't need to do lengthy troubleshooting, just nuke the problem and reset within a few minutes.
The offset rotation points to import/export discrepancies. Advanced skeleton is smart enough to usually handle this without issue, so the most likely issue is a user introduced change somewhere. To check whether or not this is true, you can grab one of the demo rigs and try bringing it into a clean unreal project. If it imports correctly, then you have a working example to compare against your problem rig.
The quickest way to troubleshoot a problem like this is to divide the problem space in half and test just one half completely at a time. So first go through all the export options from maya and see if that solves the issue. If not, then go through all of the import settings in unreal.
Also check mayas preferences for how you set the scene orientation, if for example you set it to z up but then AS is also applying an offset automatically, you could end up with something unexpected like this. On both maya side and unreal side there are options to apply transformation (e.g. rotation) changes on export/import. Make sure you didn't do anything there - you shouldn't need to - unless AS explicitly tells you to do something, its usually safe to assume that AS is going to take care of those things for you.
Here's how you can reset bind pose if you need to:

Anatomy for characters
Hello,
I't's been a long long time since posting here...
I put 3D modeling on hold for a long time and came back to it over this summer.
I decided to pick up where I'd left off trying to get a grasp on anatomy and try and complete my ideal 'standard' character model.
For now, I wanted to focus mostly on getting the feet right. It's been the most frustrating and time consuming part for me. Here I have reached a point where I finally feel I got them to a point where I think i'm satisfied...
I wanted to make them somewhat 'idealized', trying hit a spot somewhere close to realism but not super detailed and attractive looking.
My first point of reference was from Ecorche, followed by looking at real life examples. I also checked out countless other sculpts by other artists and tried to pick out certain features that i thought looked good.
Greatful for any pointers, crits, anything~

Re: Help me in low poly for games
think I'd add some "forced" ambient occlusion between each strand it would also help in retaining some detail as it mips out.

Re: Help me in low poly for games
What's the problem?
There are some small baking issues along the bottom, but otherwise seems fine.
Did you want for the silhouette along the bottom to not be so straight? If so, you can probably bake a few individual rope strands as separate cylinders and place them around, similar as using hair cards.
But low poly usually means that you won't be viewing tiny details up close, so it's best to evaluate the model as viewers will. If this part of the model is never seen up close, might not be worth making small adjustments to the silhouette at all as it wouldn't be noticed.

Re: Bulb in gaming asset
Lightbulb?
Single sided is the common way to create this. The inner surface of an enclosed glass object is usually not rendered in a real-time renderer, because they usually render only the closest layer of glass.
