Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
I've never used the 3DS Max keyboard setup, but by default: 1. Top-right of the screen, there's a menu for selection. If you have edges selected for example, you could go to select > adjacent > select adjacent polygons. 2. Holding ctrl toggles (adds or deselects), holding shift always adds to the selection, and holding… -
Re: Spacedraw for Android
Advice : Keep the "standard" texture in the material Editor as it is. Do not load any image in it. It is and will remain until your scene is finished : the basic grey material applied to any new object you create. Your problem was : - You created the door first I guess. - Applied a planar map - Loaded an image of door in… -
Re: Baking - What temp?
It can apply to different things, but I think the most common one is when you take any information from a model or 3d scene and then put it into a static texture image. For example, one could bake lights and shadows into a diffuse color texture, or into their own lightmaps. Another big one is baking normal maps, in which… -
Re: WIP Stave Church - Fable Style
Mh, I don't know, that looks a tiddle repetetive. I mean sure it's about the modular approach, but from other's doing similar work I got the feeling it's really about making sure it does not get that tiled look all over. The left building with the 3x duplicated wooden support and the 2x duplicated window and roof structure… -
Re: Rigging thread, post your problems or solutions
I'm currently stuck on a custom rigging script as I don't know how to design it. I'm working on a custom auto-rigger in Maya, rather simple, that match the requirements of one of my game project. So it's a not a tool dedicated to match every case possible. Before explaining my problem, here is how my script is used : -… -
Re: Need advice - Lego House :)
Mark, thank you so much for your detailed response and the links you provided, I really appreciate that, and it has helped me understand things better and plan my model in a lot more detail. I hope you don't mind me asking a few noobish questions in regards to what you said. I have read over the links you have shown me and… -
Re: UV Game - Weak: Maya, Planar Mapping, and Maintaining Proportion
ok, yeah, yuck, ick. So with a boxy example like the candle box, this is pretty easy. My workflow for most models is to start with planar, camera or automatic projection; usually on the whole model, mark and cut seams, then work with Unfold. The new unwrap is great, but can still mangle UVs and will nearly always add some… -
Re: Erp i guess this would be a sketch thread right? OMG i'm so new!
I don't mean to pile it on, but to me I have to say, I don't believe that someone capable of creating such a nice face, like the black cannary face, in Maya, is not able to transfer that skill to zbrush, an arguably 10x easier environment to work in. If it was just a matter of software skills, I would give you the benefit… -
Re: Overwhelmed and want Advice
For the moment, concentrate on still images; show-reels are really only relevant for animators & f/x artists. Cull your portfolio to include only the best - and most relevant - pieces. You will be judged by your weakest piece, so you're much better off with 3 good pieces than with 3 good pieces and 6 mediocre ones. Also,… -
Re: Low poly Models & Anti Aliasing!
You can't really ask for very specific tutorials like these (about triangles) for low poly modeling, since it's a artist to artist basis and there really isn't a standard you can look for, outside of learning the basics and creating your own stuff in the process. For example, the 3 finger setup is something old artists…
