Re: odd terminology in game art circles
texture = skin always made sense to me too, i used to think of it like this: you have a skeleton, the mesh is its muscles that define its form, you put a skin on top of it to define its appearance. that doesn't mean i don't think it's the wrong term to use, but it still made sense. -
Re: Sketchbook: Brenna Blackman
Here is the final concept I've decided to go forward with for this character. The base is pretty well finished. I spent too much time on this step - this being my first attempt at sculpting a body and working on anything this complicated. I started with a Zsphere skeleton. Currently building the other pieces in both Maya… -
Re: Rig Advice
@Rick Stirling: I think translations have a tendency to disrupt the axis of the bones in a skeleton. I should probably give my character eyelids as well... I've ended up purchasing the face rig tutorials which DimitrisT recommended so I'll give it a go and see what i end up with :) -
Re: Bully gettin HOT!
[ QUOTE ] At least we've got a precedent if the religious fundamentalists or whomever it might be kick up a stink on this. [/ QUOTE ] That's not an "if" it's a "when", my friend. Fundamentalists can't just be who they are - they go way out of their way to try to force everyone else to be that way too. This has got some… -
Re: 3d max helpers -> fbx -> unity
It still won't import IK animation - you'll need to bake it on export. With Mecanim it'll find and bind the bones of a (roughly) human skeleton and then let you perform IK on those in-game (although I think the IK might be a Pro-only thing? I've not played with Mecanim yet). -
Re: Sketchbook: Shrapnel
I've been doing some rigging for my second year university project recently, built the skeleton today! I think the legs are going to need some quite drastic overhaulage before I can add any real functionality though, anyway here's a progress shot :) -
Re: Maya - Skinning
Thanks a lot monster, I'll check that for sure. For point #2: Yes it's for a game engine. It's for Unity. Right now I use when bind skinning: 3 for max influence, and then DeltaMush from advanced skeleton, just to let you know. Maybe it's not the best way to go for games ? -
Re: 3ds Max: Export CAT rig to FBX. Digit bone meshes get exported as well.
Hi, Eric! If I remove them from Skin, their meshes do not get exported, but I need these bones in rig to manipulate fingers. I just don't need these annoying meshes... I tried to re-rig the character with a new CAT skeleton from scratch, and the problem persists. -
Re: Berserker
well hes layed out over the UT2004 Juggernaut skeleton the only real difference is his head is much bigger than UT characters altough when i shrink his head, he comes out looking like beatle juice, not sure how to play it. -Buddikaman- -
Re: Compile errors for hl2?
Hmm, I haven't used HL2 tools before, but from your last post, it sounds like you're rigging the collision mesh to the bones using Skin/Physique modifier? Have you tried just using Select and Link to constrain each section of the collision mesh to the skeleton?
