Re: Attach mucks up Materal ID
You didn't mention that you were deleting the old mesh before attaching the new one. Don't do that, the uv's get wiped. I've ran into that before also. Just move the old mesh off to the side before attaching the new one so that you can easily select it later and delete it. But you'd very rarely want to completely delete a… -
Rigging/Skinning overall straps to a character
Hi, I'm really new to rigging, and thought It was about time to give it a bash but I'm having so many issues with it at the moment. My main problem is little fiddly bits attached to my character like overall straps. What's the best way to approach these things? I've tried weighting it heavily to the arm and lightly, and no… -

Re: Questions about Biped
Yep, what monster said works, I've had to do it a few times. Set your biped IK to use a helper object, link constrain the helper to whatever you need, whenever you need it. I attachment constrain another helper to the surface of the object where the hand will connect. Then snap the hand helper to it. It gets a little dicey… -
Re: Character Setup [ with a focus on game design ]
Yeah, these are biped, and the engine itself is being done with SlimDX, and we are having to create our own model loader/animation loader. Having never done this before, ever... i am not sure how this would even work. I know games like NWN would cut up each bodypart and would load in a different body part. I look at some… -
Re: Sketchbook: Joeri "SabreWing" Roels
@Devart: Thanks, I'll try to do some more in the future. Major post on the Female sculpt. Had to do the sculpt again since I added a Biped to the low poly base to make posing possible. Attachment not found. This is the final female sculpt (with detail shots): And did a test pose to see how well that works. No additional… -

Good example is Skyrim and Deus Ex, with buckets on heads and people not noticing that… -
