How do I make a car rig with wheels that turn automatically no matter the axis? (PLEASE HELP!)
I need to make a quick animation for my class literally due tomorrow, and something I'm really struggling on is animating the wheels. I am natively a blender user, so what I'm used to is, having a constraint that allows the wheels to automatically move with the body of the car. In Maya I used an expression to do something… -
Re: Mutilation of limbs (beheading and chopping off limbs) - Animation Help
You can't use Biped to animate heads/arms falling off. You've got a couple of options. 1. Use a custom rig instead of Biped. 2. Skin your objects to Helpers that are constrained to the Biped. Then at the frame the limb needs to be cut of animate the constrain to a controller object that doesn't follow the biped. -
Re: Blending Keyframe Animation with Physics (Partial Ragdoll)
@muchogrande oh sorry, I didn't watch it to the end. I see it now. I think we can consider that from-the-neck-up ragdoll blending as an appendage as well -- that is, in relation to the thorax, the neck and limbs etc. are appendages. So a similar mechanism can be used. Turns out that on Blender the cloth settings to get… -
Re: Real grid snapping in 3Ds Max?
Tick the other constrain to axis checkbox. Having used a bunch of different modelling programs i still think max's although not as good still stacks up against say Modo or Maya, its just missing some intuitive hotkeys for quickly changing the snapping type. But basically without the constrain to axis check box on, its… -
Re: Help with 3dsmax mechanical rigging?
I did fix as per above but I was looking for a more " constrained " animation , Without having to animate everytime manually simulating the constrains , do you have any sugestions or tut on how to ? Also I need to reduce that scene and import to the spaceship and duplicate the animated gear for the three landing pads ... I… -
Re: [WIP/Help] Need Advice on Creating Realistic but Lightweight Tassel Earrings (Blender/ZBrush)
Well then since it's only for a portfolio and not for a specific game, I would do away with tech constraints entirely and suggest just focusing on making it look as good as possible. That's the biggest hurdle, by far, for any artist to get work in game development. The tech can be taught fairly easily, the aesthetics are… -
Re: Maya Rigging question
i did this long ago, here are few things u can do fast and easy is to create a blend shape for the eyelashes that match the movement of the eye lids and then do a set driven key to drive the eyelashes blend shape by the eye lids blend shape. second skin eyelashes to joints, and vertex constrain the joints to the vertices… -
Re: 3DS MAX SPLINE IKSOLVER- FLIPPING MY SKINNED MODEL
@snake85027 It's a bug in 3ds Max, a super old bug. You can adjust the Spline IK upnode all you want, but you'll get nothing good. Notice the flipping on the right tentacle. (The upnodes are in the center.) The work around is to use Spline IK on a duplicate bone chain (Chain B ) exactly how you set it up in your… -
Re: Info: going rate for 1,500 tri model+texture
Charging by polycount makes no sense to me imo. Someone could make something with 10x as many polygons as needed with poor optimization quicker than someone who makes the topology efficiently while containing more detail. I personally consider style, complexity of the concept, and a comparison to another models level of… -
Re: Maxivz's Interactive Tools for Blender
Very cool! Brings Blender closer to Max's positive functions. I too would love a Swift Loop functions and the ability to constrain to face. The lack of being able to constrain to face in Blender is very perplexing. Oh and a pinch option when adding multiple loops would make subdivision modeling so much faster than the…
