Updated the first post. @ WipEout Thats a worm on a turbine, you fail! I need a cow on a rocket! :D @ Firecracker197 I think you takeing my comment with the rocket a bit too seriously, its not to meant to be some kind of rocket, it just meant to be very fast, like sitting on a very powerfull beast...not really a beast…
Take this with a grain of salt as I'm not a technical artist, but at least in 3ds max, you indeed have face normals and vertex normals. Maybe you can think of the face normals as the actual geometry (or purely in which direction a triangle (maybe polygon) is facing. That's dependent o the vertices, but not the vertex…
I'm well aware of how other people utilize twist bones, but I disagree with them. You can limit twisting by weighting between a non-twisting bone, and twisting bone. The only reason to use multiple twist bones is if you intend to be weigthing verticies primarly using envelopes. For games, that's just wasteful. Twist/helper…
Used to play around a bit in 3DS4 all those years back when I wasn't playing the original X-COM. Fast forward 15 yrs later, picked up an Intro to Maya class in Uni. Self taught since :)
get a 3d one. an ecorche and/or a scanned human. ten24.com and 3dsk.com or the stores I know of. They aren't very expensive and will help a lot with your studies. Studying from real life is the probably the most important thing I don't see mentioned as often as other resources.
Hey, I am fairly new to modeling and this is my first attempt to really model something nice. I hope to get into the game industry someday as either an environmental or weapon modeler. Any feedback, tips, tricks, or tutorials that you know of that would help me in my endeavors would be greatly appreciated. :)…
How do you think the Virtual Reality sales will do now its about to hit market? Looks like Samsung is the first on the market ($99) http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/samsung-gear-vr-pre-orders-open-99-virtual-reality-headset-goes-on-sale-at-best-buy-a6728846.html
That's only the solution, if you think co2 is the cause of global warming. If co2 isn't the cause you still have global warming to deal with. So far the leading theory is co2. If they're wrong then we need to figure out whats causing it. But that's only if you think global warming is behind the ice melt. If global warming…
Hey T, you can find balsa wood in modelmaking shops super easily. It's the material of choice for gliders and such. Last time I used some it came in sheets of roughly 10*40 centimeters. The cool thing is that the sheets have the fibers in a specific direction. So you can bend it very tight and easily one way, and it's much…
really loving this piece... my problem is that this weapon lacks interest in it's colour palette... like... the silhouette, bakes, design etc are all there but it looks like there's just too much wood... like, just fire balling here... but would you consider maybe making those designs on the bow into something like silver?…
