Re: Drawing Feathers or beast-like hair.
I like the way Dark Horizon handles black hair... seems just a lot of black strokes, then some very small, fine, bright highlights here and there to give the hair some volume and shape. http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=22267&an=0&page=0#22267 Stuff there, check his Hellboy skin on his site too.

Blender faster toggle Subdivision Surface level
Hi, I'm switching from Maya to Blender, and I'm looking for some way to toggle between no Subdivision Surface and Subdivision Surface level 2 for example. In Maya you can easily press the keystroke "1" and "3" to switch between no subdivision surface and smooth preview. For what I know so far, in Blender, you can use… -
Rigging for Games
Hi everyone, I've taken on doing a rig that's to go into a games engine, I'm following along with a games tutorial, but he's made no mention of an origin joint which I know i need. I was wondering how this will combine later on with my IK and FK joints. In my head i'm thinking I need to create a bind skeleton which is what… -

Re: Get Editable Mesh Normals?
For edit poly objects use obj = $Box001.mesh. obj will be a trimesh of the Editable Poly. To get normals use the Edit Normals modifier. It will work on both the Editable Mesh and Editable Poly objects. Here is an example. ( eMod = Edit_Normals() modPanel.addModToSelection (eMod) ui:on for obj in selection do ( vCount =… -
Re: Combining creased objects in Maya
Tried fiddling with this problem for a bit. I don't use crease edges often but when I do they tend to be unstable and get clobbered when combining complex meshes together. Apparently you can't use Select Using Constraints and isolate only crease edges (unless I was using the tool wrong) so I made a workaround script that… -
Re: Physically Informed Spec Value Library
What I think would be helpful is for scan data is have a standard reference material that is captured by the setup as well so that there's a standard for comparing values, like using those color reference cards for photography. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColorChecker @MFN RGB are the three colors (Red, Green, and Blue)… -
Re: [Maxscript] Help applying auto smoothing to a group of objects.
The doc says autoSmoothThreshold is a property of the Editable Poly object, not the polyop.autoSmooth function. So keep this line in there: o.autoSmoothThreshold = tresh But I'm telling you, just use a Smooth modifier. So much less code. From this: -- This will apply the default 45° auto smooth to all selected objects fn… -

However when snapping the ik to the fk, I can only get the wrist to match positions. I used the upper elbow as my pole vector but i think i might need to use…
