Re: Cinema 4d anyone?
Yes, it looks like it has everything needed like workplanes, modern beveling algorithms, splines, symmetry modifiers, unwrapping tools at decent price. Maya and max are clearly too expensive for indies and freelancers I just don't get why people try modo, maya lt even blender but completely ignore Cinema. Is it being used… -
Re: [ZBRUSH] Zremesher Decreasing polys significantly
Hey @Nate Broach I tried to recreate your problem. After trying some different settings I came to the same conclusion: 150k polys is the max you can get (~300k with double settings). My best guess would be, that the polycount is caped because the algorithm would take for ever otherwise. If I were you, I would zremesh -… -
Re: gesture smoothing ( organic modeling energy )
This is really interesting, man. I haven't given it a proper whirl yet, just a few tests and the results were interesting. I imagine it would take some getting used to for most people being so used to the catmull-clark algorithm by now, but it would get some cool results being able to pick and interpolate between multiple… -
Re: New 3ds max extension
The people in those posts clearly didn't read the options before they used the tool hah, that is not representative of quality in any way at all. In regards to quality I am referring to the smart degradation of faces... the meshlabs algorithm isn't as effective at maintaining detail imho. But use what you want... like I… -
Re: Normalize UVs Maxscript
Really? I thought I fixed that bug. I will check it out. I think I have a better algorithm now though, since I wrote a version of this for Maya and ended up improving it a lot. I also wrote a nice UV-line-relax script in both Maya and Max, I will see if I can get clearance to post those since I did them for work. -
Request for Scenes
Greetings! I am part of a university research group focusing on computer graphics. We are currently in need of scenes for a SIGGRAPH rendering paper to test our algorithm on. We are looking for artists that can convert their completed scenes into the format of an academic ray tracer called PBRT (http://www.pbrt.org/). Any… -
Re: Why Edit Poly Modifiers Breaks Smoothing Groups?
Turn to mesh/poly and edit normals will sort the data out but it doesn't always preserve everything. When you bring a model in from Maya or something else that doesn't support smoothing groups discrepancies are inevitable. I remember some discussion on the matter on here a few years ago and i don't think anyone came up… -
Re: Cobray M11 w/ attachments
I agree with what Kimono just posted, I use triangles and n-gons in every HP I make, and triangles in every LP. The idea that meshes "should" be all quads is indefensible. As you get more familiar with modeling IMO the distinction between mathematical classifications of polygon become irrelevant, it's just verts and edges,… -
Re: Don't fear the reaper...'s tool
@rooster: thanks :D and: you're a pervert... ;) here comes a new video in higher resolution, wires, blended wires aaand turned off diffuse. You might think the lag and stuttering comes from my pc which is too lame for handling realtime models AND recording the whole screen but in fact it's an automated algorithm so you can… -
Re: Koivis Dodge Viper project
I did a custom mel script to rig the wheels on my vehicle. Finding the algorithm was easy, the struggle was applying the mathematical formula to mel script and then get it working on all 3 X,Y,Z Axis. I may do a vlog going into detail about the problems the other youtube tutorials gave. But here is a demo of what my rig is…
