Help - Can't get PhysX to work in Maya
I hope this is the right forum.. anyways, Hi! I'm working on a Unreal 4 game, and to get cloth to work I've learned I should use a Nividias PhysX plug-in for Maya. But when I install the plug-in nothing appears in Maya. I downloaded NVIDIA_PhysX_For_Autodesk_Maya_2013_64bit_3.00.01116.02380.msi from Nividias site (I'm… -
Using AI to create hand-painted textures.
Texture projection method The main method of creating texture using AI is to project the generated image onto the model from several angles. Important This technique does not exclude a person from working on textures. AI is a tool that speeds up the process, not completely automated. Also, when working on textures, work in… -
Re: New Character Artist - Critique Please
Thanks a bunch for the advice! I have a few concerns with character model creation that I would like to get solved. 1) Do people generally model the head before the body, I read once (in a really old book, I believe it was Quake 3 era) that it is best to model the head first to give the model character. 2) Is it okay to… -
Re: T-Pose - What people are using and why?
Reviving this quite important thread, since I've had some problems with choosing the most optimal t-pose. These things concern me: - the importance of the anatomy on the armpit - polygonal angle on the armpit for normal map baking - humeroscapular rhythm (the movement of clavicles, scapulas and muscles related to the… -
Re: Division inspired character WIP - Linda Fyen
Late on the crit here but I do see a problem with the high poly. You have a lot of straps that bear weight, but the only place you really show that is in the knee pad straps. I've worn a one shoulder big messenger bag for a long time and that shoulder strap and securing strap really digs in. It was bad enough with art… -
Re: Monthly HandPaint Art Jam March 2015
Ooh, I'm gonna join in! Gonna try Deirdre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deirdre I am not someone who dwells on the concept too long, so I just sketched out her proportions and started working. There's not much on how Deirdre is supposed to look besides 'yellow tresses, green eyes, cheeks coloured like foxglove(which is a… -
Re: Pixie Character for Portfolio
Update: I've Pretty much finished with the body, I am now mainly working on clothing and animations. I have textured and imported my character into unreal to see if all the current animations work and if the texturing looks alright. It is very blue but I think it gives it quite a fantasy feel which works. These are some of… -
Re: Left 4 Dead Survivor
Good, a brighter image would have been better though. Looks like you've got most things under control here. Some things to keep in mind for next time, no need to fix these if you feel that it would be to much work; - Use more reference material and follow them more precisely. It's not just the anatomy of the characters… -
Re: Modelling Stretched Fabric
I'm not sure if sculpting would make it much more easier. I would go about this in either of the following methods: 1 - Model the underlying structure. And create the cloth with MarvelousDesigner. You can then choose to render a normal map or use the raw geometry. This way you get a realistic looking piece of cloth versus… -
Re: Sketchbook: UneditablePoly
Thanks for the comments! @BigHoss - You're right, I think I did that on purpose because I was thinking about his movement and how a shorter cape would provide more mobility but I think you're right in that it does look better longer. @Muzz - Two great points. I don't do much animation so I'm bad at thinking ahead in that…
