Re: Skin - need some pointers
Taken from the 3dsmax help file: http://download.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/2012help/files/GUID-9596F6EF-3569-44F2-8D6C-6EB58C30BED-480.htm When you have your skeleton in the pose that you will bind the mesh to it, select all of the bones, hold alt and right click the viewport and choose "set skin pose". This will help the… -
Re: I'm producing a DVD
I think you should cover only the essential requirements if you are just starting to produce tutorial DVDs. For intense: -Low poly Character modeling. -unwrapping UVs. -Applying Texture. -Creating Clusters (or smoothing groups or poly groups) and its core purposes in sculpting application and in Game engine like UDK.… -
Re: Zergling - WIP
So it's been a while, I can honestly say I ended up working on this model for like an hour a week tops, so the progress was super slow. I re-top'ed it, set up a rig, skinned and I'm animating it at the moment. There are a few issues with the skeleton atm, the tail being one of the main issues. I haven't cleaned up the… -
Re: when do I rig?
Assuming that you mean "skin weighting" as opposed to "creating a control rig" (which are two completely different things) : As. Early. As. Possible. For some reason many modelers seem to not want to do that because skin weighting is "less fun" than sculpting, but you will save yourself a TON of time and frustration by… -
Re: reinitialize bones in max
If you go, Animation > Bone Tools you should be able to adjust the size of the bones, you might be able to do it from the command panel also. You might have to delete the tips of the bone chains and use "create end" because the size parameter only effects the radius of the bone never the length. You could try scaling the… -

Re: Rigging: Maya IK/FK switch

Re: Why realistic graphics matters to games
In response to @slipsius Yeah I realised this but could not think of a title that would convey the content clearly in a cleaver way. Will gladly take suggestions. This may be me getting tired at the end of the day, but I am having difficulty understanding what you mean by this. Yes this is true, but it's cartoonish styled… -
Re: WIP Ship (sailing, not space) C&C
sorry... the ex-military bug in me jumped out a bit =[ it does look good so far, but there's some wasted polies in the sails and on the hull of the ship. if you really are going for accuracy though, try building it the same way as a real ship is built, start with the keel, then build the internal skeleton of the ship, put… -
Re: Garry, the smoking reptileman
Work a better transition into the shoulder, maybe some more edges, same with the knees. You want more polys where things are intended to bend. Try putting in a test skeleton and you'll see what I mean. Count the edges on each individual face- you have many there that are more than 4 or 3 sides which can cause all manner of…
