Re: Multiple Dummies, Linking, and Rotating Problems: 3ds Max
Hi Brad, I'm quite sure, as you said the problem is with the Dummy scaling, as scale factor is inherited by the child, leading to the distortions. In my experience NEVER scale anything related to animation, it always leads to problems. How did you reset the XForm of the Dummy? It gets reverted to a cube when you do it, so… -
Re: Could you provide advice/feedback for my showreel, please.
Without echoing what has been said, regarding the pieces you already have they are all pretty solid. Generally you should start with your strongest piece which in my opinion would be the little fox guy, his subtle secondary action and overlap on the ears really give this piece huge character. Your second best piece should… -
Re: .-| Week 40- The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
Lemon: Just a quick critique as I am just about to start making mine (not sure if your trying to stick with the reference) you have to many bolts. This will cause you to struggle on the inner snow flake shape proportions. There are 16 bolts (you are looking at the reflections of the bolts on the metal and thinking theres… -
Re: Trees for Games
I dunno if my trees look good but I have usid this technique to make them : 1 model a 3d shape by hand , once satisfied I used splines to add over a tube and texture it , so easier , then I clone that and the splines and I modify them by twisting etc , then once I am satisfied , I use a 2d texture of branches and a 2d… -
Re: Patch of Heaven
Another update on this project. First of all I want to thank you guys for your comments. @Defragger: I am going for a day light scene, because in that way the overall textures will be more visible. Also i have also bin thinking about putting a light in the lantern. But I have decided for a while now that I will be adding… -
Re: 3dsmax edge-cut tool weirdness
Objects have an over all scale transform history. So for example if you created a giant cube that object down 5000% it will attempt to apply certain operations with that scale in mind. You can reset it, telling it to use the current size as 100% (Hierarchy tab > Reset > Transform & Scale). Or if you don't care about the… -
Re: Environment modelling on Grid
The whole point of working on the grid is to have assets (which r mostly architecture modules) that can nicely snap and fit to each other when building the level in some game engine. It also helps to create simple visual guidelines for various dimentions, some sort of array of standartized sizes of your assets (say, 1m,… -
Re: 3dsmax bones
With a low poly model, using the weight table is much faster than painting, IMO. You get exactly what you want the first time around without the cleanup you'd have with painting. But to clear up some things about painting, you *can* paint weights on verts outside of a bone's influence. The envelope size has nothing to do… -
Re: WIP - Let's call it Avalon for now
Heh yea I agree. In general archetypal, strong males arch their spine forward and women do the reverse. The shape of his ass also is pretty feminine, guys tend to have more bulk in the upper part of their ass and women the opposite. Copying keys is kind of clunky and there are a few ways to handle this. Some rigs and apps… -
Re: Soldier - Realtime Normal Mapped Char
Raven: - I guess it wouldn't look that different in some game engine. It only uses one or two spots with low-quality shadowmaps and color, spec and normal maps - Of course it wouldn't have nice supersampling - I know the weapon issue. At first i wasn't even going to do a weapon. Handle is hidden into palm anyway - And that…
