Re: street chalk drawings
All you need to do is take a photograph of the place you're going to do the work, from the angle you want it to be viewed, then draw on top of the photo and transform the drawing into a square shape (easy with photoshop, there's probably a traditional method of doing it which takes longer though). I saw the E3 Gears of War… -
Re: Couple Of issues
Not sure why constraints wouldn't work. Make sure you do the selection in the correct order (constrained object needs to be selected last). Might also want to check the hypergraph to see your connections; if you get some weird cycling connections, things may break and not work as expected. So for example, if you get… -
Re: Favorite Hotkeys and Preferences?
Here are some of my favorite Maya hotkeys. Most stuff is crammed around QWER so I don't have to move my hand very far, very often: * Alt + D : Delete history (on selected object only) * Shift + Q : Toggle Wireframe on Shaded * Ctrl + Q : Toggle Selection Highlighting * Alt + Q : Delete most recent construction history… -
Re: Understanding the pipeline
I'm starting to believe that I made an impression of a 10-y old that opened zbrush for the first day and wants to make a freaking transformer already. That is not what I want and I am not THAT unfamiliar with all the processes. All I want is to make a midpoly model to rig (yes, I rigged before) and make a somewhat good… -
Re: Shader - Unormalized Light Vector
Hey guys, it's me again, some quick questions: 1- When transforming my Light Vector to World Space, does it need to be Local, or is there something more to it? I currently have this LV -> Transform from Local to World -> Etc... (Object World Position - World Light Vector). 2- I was looking up the math for Length, which… -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
Well, tt'd be interesting to know how many pro-feminist posters are in favour of some kind of legal intervention, as that transforms this from a simply academic and basically toothless debate into a debate where one side wants to silence and/or transform the other. And no, I don't see this happening soon. I'm not putting… -
Re: Help with making a stair case using Duplicate multiple command using Softimage
I think the scale is always a multiplication to be honest. If you enter a formula like +1 it seems to do the math first and then use the resulting number as the value. A simple script could probably get around it, but it would be one of those things where creating it would take longer than the alternative method. The… -
Re: 3ds max fbx export to marvelous designer is driving me nut!
Hi Mark, Yes i did that but now i know why it doesn't work, point cache do not accept transform key like rotation, position or scale it have to be a modifier like morpher or cloth. I already know i could use bones to drive that cylinder but that was extra work instead of a simple rotation transform. Using bones all the fbx… -
Re: Vector-based modelling in Blender?
"But one thing which is driving me INSANE is how modelling (as far as I understand) is based on adding primitive shapes and forming, scaling, sculpting, morphing etc into the desired shape..." That's incorrect. While a package like Blender doesn't have much in terms of procedural CAD-like features, object dimensions can be… -
Re: Grass Normals Issue
Yep one more thing. I mention the two sided sign in that article. Try that on the up vector, but now you will need the transform node back as you are in world space, so set it to tangent->world. Also , showing an actual screenshot of how the foliage looks now instead of the passes, would help. Also, I went for a full…
