Re: Unreal Engine Import Settings
not a blender user but those things should all work via fbx with the possible exceptions of: - non uniform scaling - where you have a non-orthogonal transform matrix. eg. you rotated the object off axis and then scaled it non-uniformly in world space (or it's parent space) it's most likely that unreal is upset about what… -
Re: Jack Thompson Threatens Legal Action Over Halo 3
[ QUOTE ] although take a step back guys. should minors really be playing violent games? [/ QUOTE ] Depends on the parents and their moral standpoint, of course. Thankfully, morality isn't a one size fits all matter. It's fully legit to say they shouldn't be allowed if that's their prerogative. But, this is not the point.… -
Re: center to world in maya
Hi! Here it is my solution to move ANY selected object back to the center of the world: - create a MEL tab and copy/paste this snippet: // Get the selected object(s) string $selectedObjects[] = `ls -sl`; // Check if any objects are selected if (size($selectedObjects) > 0) { // Loop through each selected object and move it… -
Re: [3ds max] biped head and arm rotation
Oof, and the separate tracks e.g. for the arms seem buggy as hell in 2023. No IK blend, but moving, deleting or just settings rotation keys on child keys can mess with keyframes or the interpolation of the parent limbs, sometimes not even visible in the curves, only in the viewport. It's always possible I'm the one doing… -

Re: 3DS Max most efficient technique to control flat cartoon eyes?
it's not pretty or elegant but it works :) start with the theory, basically find the intersection of the ray from the center of the eye ball to the target helper on the plane where the pupil resides. so the rig helper "ball" (the virtual center of the eye) it's parent is the main head mesh, has a lookat constraint (lookat… -
Re: Am I stupid? (Serious qeustion) School stuff
How about this: Dear parents, your son is a highly self-motivated individual and is very confident in his choice to avoid AI (or whatever gaming school). He does not condone school, but rather, he based his decision on numerous advice given by people who actually work in the industry. He is confident that he will propel… -
Unreal Engine 4 Issue
* I’m a 3D animation student at Pratt Institute currently working on his senior thesis film and using unreal engine 4 to render the film. I have been experiencing an issue with the game engine. * This is basically what has been happening to me. I import a rigged character into unreal from maya, import all the other assets… -
Re: Is it worth it becoming a 3d artist
Probably living in their parents basement I feel. I know a good few that are having to share accomodation with 3/4 people given the cost of living in the area and despite earning what would be considered on the higher side of game dev salaries. (more market rate than what they are actually worth imo) That said getting… -
Re: Need help with a weird rig
If you are using 3ds max, you can setup a Reaction Manager (not to be confused with reactor, the physics system). Look at the tutorials that come with max for some tutorials on how to go about it. I tried looking for some on the web, but can't find any free ones (I also didn't look that hard....) What I would do is create…
