Re: Maya Rig - Character Set // Error: line 0: animCurve creation or connection failed for attribute
I've run into that error a few times. I haven't changed how I rig and sometimes it pops up and sometimes it doesn't. Drives me bonkers because I haven't figured out what causes it or a solid fix for it. There are times that I'll redo that part of the rig, test it and get no errors then days later they are back. Here are… -
Re: Next Gen Character Development in Regards to Animation and Motion Capture.
Hi, thanks! Yea I'll be using the 3DS Max method of set driven keys which is wire parameters and something called Reaction Manager that you can rig up to drive morphs and stuff. It's fairly simple to get grasp of. I created individual controls for each muscle. You can make it where when the arm goes up for instance, the… -
Re: Passion: What is yours? (Vets and all)
Not counting the boob tube or playing games? Doing drawing studies with traditional media, and once I'm done trudging through the death throes of my senior term in college and get a job, I'll be getting back a bit into guitar and reading, I look forward to it because I haven't touched on those interests in years and my… -
Re: Basic topology exercises Giz
It sounds a bit like the overabundance of tools at your disposal is getting in the way of you getting things done ...

Re: Set of Photoshop Actions.
Cool list of actions! The center H and V, and distribute H, V are one of the least discovered features in PS from most people I've used it around.

Model Optimization for next gen.. feedback?
In my continuing quest for perfection.. and getting my polycount lower in zbrush to allow for the next sub-d level, I have been deleting uneeded items from the character I can create and normal map separate like the teeth in example. At this point I have tennis shoes on the character with separate shoelace objects. My… -
Re: I gots me a job

Re: How do you set freelance prices for work?
You only have to pay quarterly if you are 100% freelance. If he has a day job, file your taxes at the normal time. Also the items you can write off vary state by state and STOP GOING TO H&R BLOCK!!! Get a real tax preparer, and reap the "rewards". Get the TaxID of the people you are doing the work for now so when you do… -
Re: Substance Painter Baking Issue
Hi! Opening the Painter project, what I see is different than what you shared in your initial post, so I suppose the original post is outdated? Since I don't have a Max license, I can't check the highpoly or rebake. Exported the lowpoly from Painter, some notes looking at the low poly mesh: - there are hard edges without…
