Beginner here. I'm doing some tests with ncloth rigging and don't know why my earring is tearing apart. I made the ncloth preset concrete with any attribute having to do with rigidity turned to max. Everything moves fine, the earring just goes crazy. Apparently you can do a trick with Locators to give your constraint more…
Hi all. I'm trying to rig an aircraft in Maya for export to UDK. I have one root joint around the top center of the aircraft, and then a joint for each control surface. Each control surface is a sub-object. At each control surface, I have a locator set and aligned to the rotation axis of the hinge line; so if I rotate the…
There are two components to a tilt shift photography, and it's important to separate them and understand that they do entirely different things. The above image shows a tilt/shift lens with both tilt (rotation, the guide lines on the right) and shift (the guide lines on the left) engaged. What you're talking about in this…
Your project is really promising. Ide say think of where you want your focal p[point to be and how to use shadows and light to create that focal point. Really think of this scene as a 2d image or even like a painting. I know the original silent hill games made great use of atmospheric lighting and had great control over…
Thanks for your replies guys! It wasn't a visual glitch after all. I attached the rig to a mesh, the problem was still there. I did however find a temporarily solution by changing evaluation mode from "Parallel" to "DG". And voila! I guess the problem has something to do with how I set up the utility nodes. I'm gonna try…

The latest models with 5-axis IBIS (EM1, EM5, EM5II, EP5) are very very good and do not need 1/200th to get a sharp shot. Even the 3-axis EM10 is quite good. Minimum shutter speed for a sharp shot (regardless of IS) depends…
