I'm going to call this done for now. Going to move onto some a new character, still want to do a actual dance animation but it will have to be side project while I look at adding more to my portfolio to look for new work since I resigned a couple of weeks ago because the company stopped paying me.

When you are done with your weighting, you can convert all the vertices to "Modified". This will allow you to add bones without any of their weights changing. When a vertex is tagged as "Modified" changing the size of the cross sections no longer updates the influence on the vertices, and the influence can only be changed…
Wanted to drop a quick pipeline piece we did solving a data-bloat problem. We needed a reusable, highly deformed eye rig setup for a stylized project, but relying on geometry caching to bake out the lattice deformations was killing our data foot print. We’ve shared a quick, high-level teaser of the rig over on LinkedIn if…
that would be very tricky to do and it would mess things up but however this has a been a huge help. And this is something to keep in mind for next time and all. Like i said this was all about practice and it been full of mistakes but I gotten lot of notes and feedback to help me out for next time. Still i'll take a look…
I'll assume you use 3ds max. Yes you can. Look into skin utilities. You'll find two buttons: "Extract skin data to mesh" and "Import skin data from mesh". The first one makes a mesh object that stores your weights. The other you use after selecting that mesh object and the object you want to transfer weights to (same obj…
making your own is a bit on the 'easier said than done' side - i'm not exactly well versed in driver authoring but my surface level understanding is that it's a bit of a black box as far as Nvidia are concerned. AMD opensource their linux drivers but afaik not the windows ones. if we're doing conspiracy theories (facts)…
I understand what I do is pretty niche, not in the highest demand likely. So if you want to help me out by commissioning something fun for yourself, it would be greatly appreciated! 1. Zalman T6 ATX Mid Tower PC Case - $50 2. ASROCK Intel Arc A580 GPU - $200 3. MSI MAG A550BN Power Supply - $60 4. ASUS Prime B550M-A…
Considering that I am supposed to make real-time game characters, I did some research on how rigging was done for them. I found catwoman model with its rig ripped from one of the batman games. Number of bones in around 100. Considering nature of batman games I find this impressive given the number of enemies on screen at…
Pulling your hair out trying to fix generic AI images? I recently helped a client replace AI art with human-led concept strategies ( moodboards, OKRs, design thinking), and got their game pitch approved by the board of directors on the first try. - See the full project…
