Maya Rotator doohicky
Uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhg... I wish I didn't have to make a new thread for this, but I couldn't find anything on the interwebs that helped me solve my... "problem". All of a sudden when I go to use my rotator tool I can't click "within" the tool to do a rotate-in-all-axis. Instead I can ONLY click on constrained axis. I've tried… -
game project : naga quest (collab)
Hello folks, i decided to create a new thread for to bring all my current works here and show some of my progress of these. Of course, you're welcome to help me creating some 3D models for to bring more 3D asset to use. First, i will show you some of inspiration i did got for to make naga quest, i will call the first… -
Re: The Hangar (CDK environment)
Yeah, the problem is those hangars are extremely boring, so I decided to take this away from the ultra clean USAF hangar. I guess, to follow on from what you were saying about the hangar looking older, thats what I was going for; like this was an old hangar, still around, but its only used for messy jobs and maintenance… -
Re: Animating rope
Simulate cloth on a simplified single sided strip of polys, skinwrap your rope to it. If you're exporting to a game engine you want to attachment constrain a few dummy points to the surface of the cloth sim, skin your rope to some free floating bones and use Jim Jaggers animate align script to get the bones to follow the… -
Re: Victorian Street Fighter
Monocles are a very bad idea for boxers. You could make the mustache more flamboyant, waxing the tips to get them to stick out. The pants would be up above his navel, and held up with a cloth sash; suspenders are another bad idea for a boxer - they're far too likely to slip off and constrain his arms. Personally, I see a… -
Re: we found THEM!!
I just really doubt our government would allow the announcement of any kind of extraterrestrial life forms being found, be it just micro organisms or not. But on the subject of "habitable planets", all theories about what could be a habitable planet is completely based our understanding of what is habitable to us. The… -
Re: Need rigging advice (3Ds Max+pics)
Don't forget to add in a twist bone. Another thing that may help is a bone that is orientation constrained to the shoulder and collar that sits at the shoulder's pivot. Your geometry isn't ideal (alright, it isn't very good but as Vig said, most of us have rigged worse), but you will never get great shoulder deformation… -
Re: Nurbs + Polys
no sweat Playdo. Your thread just reminded me of when I was all nurby doing industrial design and thought it was the best thing ever. :) But ya, honestly nurbs will always be the king of bevels\chamfers\fillets, but personally I find polys just a lot more fun and way less constraining. It is a different mindset though, and… -
Re: Models look super flat and thus unrealistic
Oh yeah, I know how to do that. I thought you meant try to model the wine glass using the technique I mentioned in the first post; I thought I was constrained to using a plane&edge extrusion modeling for that exercise. My question for box modelling is that because you cannot simply extrude edges (like you can with a… -
Re: Discussion: Increasing your speed with highpoly hard-surface modeling
Remember this, if you hover over any button in the graphite modeling tools it will show you a video of how to use it and any of the modifying button's functions (SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT). And so, as you can see, if you drag a loop while holding CTRL+ALT it will auto align perfectly. no turning on edge constrains. Graphite…
