Robotic Security Dog 'DotBot'
Hey y'all, it's been a while since I've dropped anything on Polycount but it's nice to finally be working on a more personal project that I can share like this. This thing has been brewing now for about a year and a half (on and off) and I just wrapped up the lowpoly today and wanted to share where I'm at. The goal is to… -
max forearm twist bone issues
So i ve set up a fore arm twist several different ways. The way I want is to use the wiring to wire the x rot of the hand into the twist bone via an expose transform node. but i keep getting an illegal reference. (reference node a child of the forearm bone, expose the hand bone, wire exposed value to drive the twist bone,… -
Re: optimising baked anims, maya
hm, I dunno if I explained well enough, I'll detail the process- we have the character rigged up with a bunch of IK stuff, and we parent all those to locators, so no animation is on the actual bones. then, we bake the animation down onto the bones so there is a key on every frame like you describe, optimise out… -
Re: Get a game job!
[ QUOTE ] We hired a guy from Pixar for a FMV animation job awhile back, his name was in the credits for Toy Story. The guy really wowed many of the artists with his connections and tales, but when it came down to the job at hand, he couldn't follow direction at all, couldn't animate simple camera moves, couldn't get the… -
Re: XSI Forearm Twist Rig Question
Ah, good deal. Let me see if I got this straight. In essence I would create a null that rotated exactly opposite the rotation of the bone such that it looked stationary to the bicep but moved with the forearm bone in every other way. Then when enveloping I could envelope the base of the forearm to that null so the mesh… -
Re: Biker Girl
I took a long break from this character and recently got back to working on it since school started. I wanted to make her work inside UDK as a playable character. Probably encountered every technical issue you could come across, but it taught me a lot and it feels awesome to run around the game with my first game… -
Re: Jose Vivas - FMP Review and Critique
Back in Maya, I have completed the minion's rig. I ran into a lot of problems because I have very little experience in rigging. Nevertheless, I think I have solved almost all of them. The wrist articulation is going to be impossible to fix as it has a bone exactly in the articulation and it has to turn to fit the hand, ...… -
Hipster Zombie - Plants VS Zombies
Art test for a job application. I was asked to do a 3D character in the same art style as the ones in Plants VS Zombies. I was also asked to come up with my own zombie type so I went for a Hipster zombie. I thought that could be a pretty fun character to make. I have a strong preference for hard-surface modelling and… -
Maya HIK hand keying problems
Hi! I have some problems with hand keying animations using the HIK control rig (2013). I have done a few simple test animations to see how well one could animate with the HIK rig but I ran into some problems straight away. After saving the file and reopening it, a lot of the animation info was missing or altered. For… -
Maya Scripting: Storing Rigging Information in Notes
I am working on a script to generate modular rig segments such as IK/FK chains and other such controls to drive a result skeleton. After creating a rig segment, the user can then take those controls and add space-switching parents to them to make that part of the rig constrained to whatever parents the user wants. The…
