Re: Tell me everything about 3D Printing
Nice idea for a subject! "STICKY PLEASE!" :thumbup: I want to know more about this. I know a couple of contacts that I will point them to this thread. I made a piece for an artist this summer, I'll post it when I am clear to do so. I know wall thickness was important in my case as I was printing large objects around… -

Re: Skinning and Bones Help?
I'm guessing 3dsmax? Biped, CAT, PuppetShop, Custom bone rig? IK/FK blending? Normally you're topology and portions should be pretty set before animating and there shouldn't be too much back and forth, thats not to say it isn't flexible and can't be changed but its not really open to constant broad sweeping changes. Some… -
Re: seeking a badass maya workflow
You can tumble the orthos by enabling ortho rotation in the camera attribute editor (if I remember right), and rotate the viewport like you normally would a Persp View, I think you might be able to snap rotation to 90 degrees, making it Zbrush-esque. The bad part, your views will get horribly broken after a while, and… -
Re: Gerlin Duota
Hi guys, thanks for the feedbacks! Torch: As I work at Allegorithmic (and do some product design on SD too), my opinion is necessary biased. But I will try to answer your question in an objective way : ) Substance Designer is "natively" dedicated to texturing so once you know how to use it, it's really quicker than doing… -
Re: help with creating characters for game.
The tri count isn't much of an issue since Unity doesn't waste any time rendering GameObjects that aren't enabled. I myself have done the method you mentioned where you have the objects positioned in the character's hierarchy beforehand and simply show/hide what you need, and it did work, but it got cumbersome pretty fast,… -
Re: Help with Chainmail
Yep the method Neox outlined is what I would use. The TexTools UV>3D method requires a bit more work. TexTools really isn't designed to do this and because of that it won't make a good morph target, you need to break the mesh along UV seams so you have the same number of verts/open edges on your mesh as the UV layout… -
Re: Maya to 3ds Max tutorials/transition help?
In the past i remember using a transitional guide from 3dsmax to maya from alias website. This would help you. But I can't find this anymore. :( Take your time. Do not try to work the way you did in maya, you will be disappointed. Learn how max does things and you will find it at least as good. I highly recommend the… -
Re: Talk to me about Lightmaps.
Thanks for the pimp guys! I will admit that when I recorded that tutorial I didn't go into nearly enough specifics of "best practices" and all the nuances of what makes a good lightmap. Here's some additional things to consider: Hide, hide, hide those seams! Just like a good texture map, hiding your lightmap seams is just… -
Re: How and When from high to low poly?
I have also been contemplating this and I am trying to establish my own workflow. So I will share with you what I have being doing. But also follow Joshua's advice and do lots of search and you will find most of your answers. I am using 3dsmax in this example. 1. I have created a high poly model (a prop) and spent time on…
