Anatomy and 3D
Hi. I started to learn 3D last summer. I got some tutorials for Maya and so far i am doing great. I want to learn Anatomy. But i don't really know how to start. I want to start in Zbrush, since i also learn zbrush, and it is the best program, just a little bit creepy. Do you think i will be ok if i start to learn Anatomy… -
Physique and Skin won't work -- help!
I'm hoping someone here can solve this, or maybe I'll have an epiphany tomorrow. But this problem has me stumped. I have a character (editable mesh) and a biped skeleton (in figure mode, fitted to the character). When I select the character and put a Physique or Skin modifier on it, I don't see any bone links for me to… -
Re: Sketchbook: David Cruz
Can considered this a limb connection exercise, i really tried and i think it looks natural, tried connecting it to parts like the would be upper location for the tail bone and the general "wings on a Human skeleton guide" floating around by concept artists. Lots more to do still, made this a project for as long as i could… -
Re: Is this a good female body topology (for posing/animation)?
It really depends on what software you're using? Maya's quick rig tool is pretty good for something like this. It's pretty easy to use and doesn't require hours of setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1L3Unmm588 In maya I personally use Advanced Skeleton and The Setup Machine3 which create high quality robust rigs that… -
Re: Rigging Feedback
Well just when the torso moves I feel the boobs deform a little funny, although i guess they can be fixed back into a better position with the controls. Yes it has FK and IK arms, with an IK skeleton that switches to have some FK control, and only IK legs. You are right its the finger bones and their placement I just need… -
Re: experienced gmax/3dsmax users : quake3 - md3
1. You make the animations as a complete model, you export each part (Head, Upper, Lower) as selected objects, complete with all of the frames. Don't worry Quake 3 will simply ignore extra frames it doesn't use. 2. See answer 1. 3. not sure, never imported one with any animation. 4. Can't remember how in Max, but I'm… -
hlsl and skeletal animation
When I want to get a correct result from a tangentspace normalmap on a skinned mesh. Do I have to put in my hlsl shader code somthing like that? finalPosition += mul(input.pos, mWorldMatrixArray[indexArray[iBone]]) * blendWeightsArray[iBone]; finalNormal += mul(input.normal, (float3x3)mWorldMatrixArray[indexArray[iBone]])… -
Re: Maya - "Unable to find the bind pose" when exporting to FBX
Yep, you need to delete ALL of the bindposes and rebuild a single one for the skeleton. To nuke all of the bindposes: * In outliner go to Display and uncheck DAG Objects Only * Then in the search bar look for *bind* that should show every bindpose in the scene, delete them all. * Clear the search bar, and turn on DAG… -
Re: Maya Mesa smd export issue
Still having trouble with this unfortunately. The mesa addon still wont export our files and the fbx file wont import into dota.. The error "Zero skin weights on one or more vertices" appears in the dota importer when importing the fbx. It then tells me it failed to find the attachment point I specify. I know for a fact it… -
Re: Anatomy
That tutorial is really nice, but those creatures have horribly wrong anatomy, and the skeleton doesn't even line up with the sculpt. Forearms and back are especially a mess. Artists need to stop using stuff like that as reference. >_< Ryan Kingslien is also a good 'starting point', but he gets called out for bad anatomy…
