Are you by chance running Photoshop or SUITE as Admin? In Windows you cannot drag and drop files from a process that is running with lesser privileges into a process that has elevated privileges, so explorer.exe (desktop, task bar, file browser) won't be able to drag into something running as admin because explorer.exe…
Will have to go against the flow here; C4D is a good bit of software, and definitely full featured (EQ? it's used for TV, games and Movies quite often http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema4d#Use_in_industry). You just have to get used to the way it works, like any 3D software. I'm another 3DS -> C4D migrator. No real choice…
Wow..I miss 2d animated movies.They were heartwarming and very expressive.Lion king was hand drawn(I may be wrong).I think apps like Flash or any other app that doesn't imitate hand drawn look kinda disconnects the viewer from the animation itself.Cause the kid in us remember our drawing days. I second the motion for the…
It's going to feel quirky and different if you want it to behave like a 3D program. This is because its designed as a painting program that can have more in common with Photoshop or MS Paint than it will a 3D program like Max or Maya. Since you're completely new, I would suggest taking a few minutes to learn the following…
Good to know that I don't have to blame software when I will get bad normal mapping results... Now I have my low poly ready for test baking: It's 89 polygons so I exceeded my budget only by 14 polygon ( or by 18.7 % :shifty: ). I hope its OK to use both tri's and quads in model? I was surprised how fast the number of…
Ah thanks for the kind works, I really appreciate it! I'm no master, but I'm certainly trying to be one day. I'm pretty young and I have a lot of exciting days of art ahead of me. I originally studied industrial design in a very strong program with a heavy emphasis on fundamentals. This I believe is key. When you're able…
Hey guys, In January I transferred to art school in LA. The basic structure of the 4 years is that the first year is all traditional art. After that you move into your major. Since I started in January, I needed to take classes this summer in order to catch up. In 2 weeks I will have finished my first year of classes. When…
Simple automation tools are easily done by chat GPT. Blender is where it shines actually. What I'd love to see is a kind of deeper Blender customization. A 2d vector editor mode with editable spline brushes driven by grease pensil. The whole "draw" mode is quite inconvenient currently . I want something like "skeletal"…
10 min... that's a long time. Unless it's a requirement I would cut that down to 2-3min. That is still a daunting task but it can be made easier if you animate at 15 fps instead of 24. If it's too choppy (that depends on the motion) you could kick it up to 30 and start doing in-betweens to smooth it out, but at least you…
A 'polymesh' is just a standard polygon model defined by its vertex information. This is just a term to separate it from Primitive Meshes, which are parametric objects (shapes that are defined through math formulas, where you can change the parameters using sliders to change the result on the fly). There's nothing extra…
