Hello there, Sorry, I understood your question was about the "points group" option. I don't know about the "group" option. But yes, true it only works as expected when selected meshes are contained in the root of the outliner. If these meshes are contained in a outliner's group, Maya converts the separate obj into…
Good questions Fabi_G. I think he was manufactured rather than 'became'. Web searches depict the character as everything from human looking, to the dalek salt and pepper shaker seen in Dr Who. Research on the character's appearance stops at his description as a 'belief appliance'. How I would justify the people bits would…
Thanks for the comments guys! Haha yeah, but without that wonderful 2500 ingame vert limit or whatever it was. I have no idea how well or if it will sell, the goal is really to make a system that is generic and flexible enough that it would have a wide market. I think this sort of system would work for someone who wants to…
what school are you going to? If you want a good rigging book pick up Maya Character Creation by Chris Maraffi. I had this guy as an instructor and he's a really good teacher. We built a working amateur film rig with muscles, set driven keys, expressions, and a Mel coded UI in 4 weeks. While the book is Maya based you'll…
Got an update on this? I liked the way it was looking. I agree with Rick: even though the extruding is easy for me, whenever i use it for a face things just end up all out of proportion. I spend so long resizing everything its a waste of time. Its good for making arms and legs though. But then again, it looks like you made…
I think what you need to try and do is make sure the knee is further foreward than the ankle. At the moment his right hand leg is buckling backwards, while his left hand leg has a wrongly placed knee, which is again buckling. legs in general are slightly tapered outwards, like this ( ). think of a cowboy who has been…
No, it's only difficult for obsessive gun nuts who nitpick every single millimetre of the damn thing. Normal people would just look at it and say "Oh hey, a spare mag on front, that's handy". Normal people don't know what an actual mag looks like, so they'd assumed anything in that general shape is a mag. And even gun nuts…
Looking great so far, but the room is very empty and unfurnished. Are you planning to add more props? If not, I would suggest making a much smaller room, without so much empty space. One other thing seems odd. The supports for the bed canopy are not centered on the legs, and the spiral seems too thin to support the weight.…
Latest update: I came up with a grim background for this fox. Now story has a bit changes.. background translated in verse by Anton Boiko: There’s a house in the woods where the witch dwells alone. Cursed her daughter in anger, turned her into a bird. And the bird flew away but was caught in a trap And was eaten by wolf…
i downloaded it cause it DLed at like... 1 meg a second. to start, blah blah i agree with everyone else reels for non animation is pointless. next, your first model, I didn't like much. scragglepaw rocked although I wish his fur worked for a back view. hunter wasn't great either. I enjoyed flak's design a lot. Your reel…
