Re: [3DSMax] Rigging bendy things, blendshapes and bones in tandem?
Yes, of course.. Assuming this is for game export I think you're going to need to ditch the blendshape and use a load of bones to deform it. You'll probably want to arrange them in a series of rings and constrain their movement to a spline driven by the shape the shaft bones take. You should at least be able to bake… -
Re: 51 things every game student should know
she's offering some legit reality cheque kind of advice early in the presentation and quickly descends into a hypocritical asshole realness later the positives is that you generally work with nice(r) people once you settle in this industry & you are not constrained to game art only when working as an artist. she's British,… -
Re: Combat Drone (WIP)
normally for tread animations I see them move the space of one link and simply loop. That way you can have other bones, like for having the bogies and treads react to the environment layer on more easily. I may be a bit out of touch, but I've never seen a game engine that supports portions of a model constrained to… -
Re: Can Marmoset 2 display stuff not as a PBS?
If you're constrained to a certain engine as end result, then why mess around with all these different previewers? Just judge your textures in-engine. And yes, if you want to see your model properly in a non PBS engine, and in Marmoset, you will need 2 different texturesets. While that is a daunting, annoying task in… -
Re: General dSLR advice
For a quality lens, you'll be constrained to a 70-200. the longer the lens length, the worse the optical quality is going to be. The sole exception I can think of is the Canon L grade super zoom (expensive and super heavy/large) and the Sony NEX 18-200mm, both of which are excellent, but also have small max apertures. The… -
Re: How do you organize your files.
I have a few folders on my desktop. cre contains creative and inspirational artwork found here and around the web... mostly here. Really disorganized root, though - dumping ground. Ndi exists as a folder that contains named project folders, such as tank and batman (which may or may not exist). eci (wtf names?) contains… -
Re: Critiques on Portfolio and tips to start with freelance work
It would help to mention this alongside your work, that these were made for printing. It would also help to explain a bit about your knowledge of the constraints for 3d printed modeling, so buyers can be assured you will make something that can be printed well. Can you show any of the printed results? That would really… -
Re: Armor/Clothing morphing for different body types
In max you can use skinwrap to do this. In Maya you need to write your own version of Max's skinwrap (which is not the same as Maya's skinwrap) Basically ... constrain a joint to each vertex on the base body mesh, skin the armour to them and when the base mesh has a blendshape applied it will deform the armour. Blender… -
Re: ZBRush 4R4 Released!
I am with you on this gray, i hate using dynamesh, but there again I am more of a modeller than a sculptor. actually building a cheekbone is so much faster than trying to sculpt it. I like being constrained by my base mesh, because that's the reason I built it:) if I need to add a penis sticking out of his head at some… -
Re: joints that act like clusters (maya)
Hmm yea they will still 'move'. Although obviously they're not actually moving in local space. I think you may need to give some more details about the rig to get a good solution worked out. e.g. do you have any bits of rigging that you could constrain the joints to in order to stop them moving? Do the joints actually need…
