Re: Difference between Substance Painter's "Average Normals" baking and a traditional cage workflow?
So what I'm wondering is how the Substance bake comes out clean with little effort required The reason why both Substance Painter and Xnormal bakes come out clean and require little effort is because they both follow an established convention, internally consistent between their baker and their viewport but also now widely… -
Re: Ball Throw
Definitely use lots of reference for this action, baseball is the "National Passtime" in the US. lots people have seen it thousands of times and can tell instantly when something is off. Your over all timing is very evenly spaced. The windup takes much longer out of the over all pitch, roughly 5|1|2.5 windup|pitch|follow… -
Re: Blender 2.5 Crash Course (Not For Retards)
Yes, But; I start using 2.5 a 2 yesterday ,instead of working in 2.49. It is kinda hard to follow along the user menual that was made using blender 2.4 when you are using 2.5. Figuring the turntable rotation only on z axies from global rotation was right in front and the program version is extremely user friendly if you… -
Re: Artists' view on proper human proportions
To me, learning proportions is a fundamental. Something you need to learn. Once you learn it, then you need to learn to break it. In my anatomy thread I was rigorously following the rules of proportion. Then a much better artist then I showed up to point out that every head I had produced followed the exact same… -
Re: Troubleshooting a troublesome scene, Maya 2018.
Hey ch0bra, this may be due to some of Maya's online checks and balances. We have found disabling some things within the Maya.env file has helped with some lag issues. In particular the following commands: MAYA_DISABLE_CIP=1 MAYA_DISABLE_CLIC_IPM=1 MAYA_DISABLE_CER=1 MAYA_NO_CONSOLE_WINDOW=1 You can find the maya.env file… -
Re: Individual Animation or Animation Blend?
Great! Thank you. 1) Is it more commonplace to move/animate the character root in Maya, or keep it at origin, and have the game engine control the root? Specifically regarding these animations: * Dodge/ evade - left/ right/ forward/ backwards * walking/ running - forward/ backwards * sidestepping - left/ right * jump -… -
Re: Dodge Roll Critique
Hey Gavin, Just a quick observation: Follow the head during the roll with your eyes and see what it does, you will see that its movement is unnatural, which is mainly due to the upperbody being snappy and not organic, also the head is simply following the upper body, which is innacurate to real life. The head has it's own… -
Re: Need help with this anime style character
the first piece of advice I usually give is to work with less geometry while you're trying to get the basic shapes right. it's easier to handle, and then, when it's mostly in the right spots, add more after that. I think you've got too much to deal with at the moment. second, follow the reference, but understand that it… -
Re: The Polycount Art Project (ATTENTION: Lurkers, Professionals and Students)
I really think some people are over-thinking this a bit and almost taking it personally. From reading Adam's op, this sounds like it would essentially be a series of tutorial lessons or a workshop that happens to fit together into something you can experience inside of a game-engine at the end instead of just a video or… -
Re: Why is it more difficult to get feedback in threads ?
I don't follow the argument that thumbnails will lead to a lack or reduction in feedback. For me personally, I've pretty much stopped browsing the 2D/3D/Anim showcase forums outside of the WAYWO thread. The reason for this is simple, there is such a huge mass of threads, that randomly clicking through to find something…
