Re: Beauty or Execution? Which one is better to ace as a Junior?
If you had to choose between the two, beauty usually wins. You can teach techniques more easily than you can teach someone to have artistic vision. But ideally, show both. -
Powerful new tool for critiquing your 3D Models
I'm a 3D character artist by trade, and getting useful feedback on in-progress work has always been harder than it should be. You post a render and it's either "looks sweet" or silence. This forum is one of the few places I've ever gotten real crits, which is part of why I'm posting here. So I built a tool to fix it. The… -
converting cat rig system from 3ds max to hik in maya
Hello everybody Since it's my first time to post in this forum, i wasn't sure where to post it. So if it's wrong please correct me. I am facing some kind of problem converting an already CAT rigged system that is already rigged from 3ds max to HIK in maya, both apps are 2016. First of all, is about anatomy model, so lots… -
CAT/HumanIK Gizmo/Affectors what are they good for??
So after working with CAT and HumanIK systems... what's the point of those things? Gizmo from CAT and Affectors from HumanIK. They look like animator controllers, so I don't have to to directly manipulate the skeleton, BUT they only interact with the skeleton when creating the keyframe for the first time. For example, I… -

3ds Max: Export CAT rig to FBX. Digit bone meshes get exported as well.
Hello! I'm trying to export my character with some CAT animation from 3ds Max to FBX. I checked "CAT characters as HIK" so it wouldn't export CAT bone meshes. However, it does export digits on arms and legs. And that's how it looks in UE4 How to get rid of them? -
Re: Topology Help: How to Split Faces to Fix Choppy Lighting?
Ok an N-pole shading error - (a vertex where 5 or more edges meet) which forces Blender to average face normals across different angles, causing dark spots or "pinching" artifacts when using smooth shading. And here's a few options that may resolve the problem 1. To fix the Normals and Smoothing often, shading artifacts… -
Re: Ground and buildings pipeline/workflow/approaches
The whole forum is about game development, we don't need a section :) The problem with these sort of questions is that the answer depends on what you're making and what your engine and toolchain can cope with. and on top of that - the answer will often be "all of the above" Your best bet on the terrain / road stuff is to… -
Re: Finding files with 16 bit at least height info?
Oh. Then you need a local DAM kind of setup. That usually requires good metadata hygiene though, which is a pain to maintain. Nobody wants to do that. If you're using Windows you can sort your searches by file metadata, like Bit Depth. You can change the search result view to Details, then add columns like Bit Depth by… -
Re: [CAT/Rigging] How to ensure your rigging has perfect symmetry?
I assume you are using the skin modifier? The vertex weighting is independent of the CAT system, and you can use any object in Max to drive mesh deformation. Follow the "To mirror envelope or vertex weight settings:"…
