Ah, I see. I don't know of any tools to modify your existing edge loops in a direct, precise numbers type of way. You could set your grid to whatever units you need, then grab the edges and snap them one by one to grid on just the axis you need. So if you want to snap a vert or an edge in just one axis, you grab thee…
Looking great Luke. I noticed the tail looks a bit weird. I would maybe tone down the curves a bit as it doesn't look natural the way it is now. I would also curve on a different axis as well. Right now its just going straight on one axis. Looking great so far. EDIT: If you're taking him through to animation and not just a…
hey, Just for future reference, how do I download the code from github.... I copied and pasted it into the existing python script. seems to work now tho. Even with twists the shell modifier works perfectly. just a shame about those twists. Wonder if there is a way to constrain the curve 'normals'? to an axis or something?…
Depends. Where do you want the seams? Not thinking about it too hard, I'd say the image you have above makes sense, so the blue and pink areas will be separate islands rather than just having symmetry on one axis. I say the above example works better mainly because the uv seams (and therefore hard edges) lie in better…
When you say Pixel what do you mean exactly? Pixel - UV Editor/Monitor Space or Texture Resolution Space. Seems like you're trying yo match UVs, have you tried transfering UVz from one mesh to the other and using it as a starting point? You can move stuff in blender easy (by texture resolution pixel) Make Selection, and…
I tried @kwyjibo's way in Blender, it does work. For elements that need to open perpendicular to the pages (like in your photos with real paper), you can lay the bones on the pages. I also needed to tick "lock X axis" in the IK settings so those bones would always stay on the pages and not move away from them (the IK…
Exactly, I find my self free of my desktop and be able to go and sculpt/paint anywhere. Stay with my wife on bed, instead of long nights on the office. One question here. I found those Axiotron Studio Pen and researching the web some people said it works fine with any Wacom enabled tablets, any body here tried getting one…
never seen the tut, just a way i found myslef that i really liked for quickly making shapes, something i have done a lot of in both maya and silo, surprised max doesn't do it well since everyone says max is good with splines, for the kinda workflow max uses it would be cool if there was a modifier you could apply to a…
Well, I've suspected something like that - they're a bit confusing from the beginning, and i probably need to make some more informal introduction into these tools. Let me then introduce myself first: my name is Alexander "Joss" Khalyavin, i'm Maya tech artist/developer with ~16 years of Maya experience. Autodesk Maya…
Like these guys already said..the crate is just a box with some random shapes..that definitely won't cut it. Definitely go through the polycount wiki, try out some tutorials, etc...like everybody else is saying. Also, it would probably benefit you to try to base your models off of some concept art or something. For an…
