Re: Modelling my wife in threedee!
Heheh. I bet she would I've had an idea to use Zbrush for what it's really meant for... bumpy monsters. I kind of liked the design of the vampires in Buffy, so I figured I'd make her one of those. As for the technique: First make a spline copy placed correctly on the eyelids (you can convert a set of edges to a spline).… -
Re: Dropship X99
Ahh yea I missed those, I went from the first post to the last, probably should of read the whole thing. With the Cicada (done by 3point, Perna I think?) the fans are hinged and rotate. With the Helghast Dropship (modeled by Chris Edmod who posts here) they solved the vertical take off issues much like a hairier does with… -
Re: Blender 2.5 Update Posted
The speed ups come as the complexity of the scene in the real time viewport increases. Blender was still using immediate mode, which is sending the vertices, uvs, normals, and etc, one at a time from the CPU to the GPU to draw. That's function 3-9 (or more) calls per polygon. That's lots of needless function call overhead… -
Re: Features you've wanted within a Raster based Image Editor
good tiling options. Having a 'quick' tile view, where you can toggle a view of the image/texture tiling 2-4 times vertically/horizontally would be awesome. So would the ability to paint while on a tile and have the tiling update live... Quick save-copy options--the ability to toggle layers and save a file out several… -
Re: Guillaume Provost articles online
You only need closed meshes when using an auto LOD because those don't handle open edges very well (though they know which vertices are supposed to be welded). Maybe an engine can use other stuff as well that requires closed meshes but usually, no. I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a surface but AFAIUnderstood all… -
Re: Sketchbook: Valentina Hawes (val.ociraptor)
Update comparison of the front-ish view! Brightened up the eyes significantly (but still kept a bit of that dramatic top shadow, I think it gives the character some intensity in the expression), added a vertical color gradient to the dress so it shifts from a blue to a more blue-green towards the bottom, and did a hard… -
Re: why are there holes in my mesh in unreal, when i cant see anything wrong with the geometry or uvs?
there's about 50 reasons you'll fall through the floor - the stupid ones are mostly engine version specific (eg. world partition landscapes on 5.3) and in terms of the mesh : Unreal has limited precision on vertex positions (16bit iirc) which means there is a minimum possible distance between verts if you have two vertices… -
The best way to control EDGE bevels/chamfers in 3ds Max?
I can't find a good way to set custom chamfer weights for edges in 3ds Max. In Blender it's very easy: there is bevel weight for edges or vertices, I simply set 0.0-1.0 and that's it. In 3ds Max I found three solutions and all are bad: By crease weight - doesn't give the same results at all (it chamfers not only edges, but… -
3dsmax snaps help?
Hey people, I'm feeling a bit n00b-ish at the moment because I can't figure something out in Max, and I dunno if it's just me, or if it's because the 3dsmax designers have made a huge oversight (wouldn't be the first time! ) Basically I have a grid snap in perspective view using 3D snap toggle, but it will only snap the… -
Maya Python scripting Issue
Hi guys, I'm starting to learn about Python and coding in Maya, and immediately, I have a first project to work along with this lesson. I am trying to replicate the same user interface as Modifier Panel in 3ds studio max. I got most of the stuff to work right, but the issue comes in where the Layout doesn't change…
