Re: DeepPaint3d----tuts, or general advice? Good/bad?
I once contacted the customer support of them for more information like PDF`s comparisons ect. but there was not much to offer. I know deep paint 3d back from the max 4 days (Outcast from appeal was done with it) so very old- and it seems they never really upgraded much ( a sad thing imo). Someone here at polycount… -
Re: Modeling/Rigging Hands
Fingers are a snap to rig they're just like elbows and knees, the thumb can be a little problematic and wrists are a pain in the ass but twist bones help that out a lot. But it all depends pretty heavily on the underlying geometry if your working with a mesh that was not designed to move you might as well pull the plug,… -
Re: WIP - Urban Neighborhood/Modular Asset Practice

Re: Zbrush UV and Baking Maps
I am not sure if the gun in the vid above is what you are talking about but what I would do in your situation is: Open the lowpoly in a modelling app that has a good uv editor to check the uvs and adjust them if necessary.

There are scripts that help tweak the TCB values without having to lumber through the workbench which can seriously lag 3dsmax… -
Re: computer help please
3 questions you should answer before dropping the coin on the computer: 1) Are the programs I use going to make use of SLi and if so what is the gain over a single card? My answer) I can tell you from personal experience that SLi doesn't make much of a difference with Maya, 3dsmax, Silo, Mudbox, Zbrush or Photoshop. Any… -
Re: mocap dancing and cleaning it up, is it hard or ez? Do cheap suites do good job?
All mocap data will have errors. The errors are caused by different things depending on the mocap system. Visual mocap is done by tracking reflective points on an object - this is the kind where you see actors covered in ping pong balls. Because it's visual you get issues where some of the points are behind the actor or… -
Re: The best way to UV pack low poly model for bake
There can be a pretty significant difference between what bakes/packs well and a layout that is painting friendly. If you do a lot of painting, you can use two separate UV channels. UV1 bake/packs well, UV2 painter friendly. Then transfer UV2 to 1. I tend to do this with ultra low poly meshes that are mostly diffuse only,… -
