Re: Weapon animation workflow?
There's probably a thousand different ways to animate for props, but this is how I've done it for my sideproject. As long as the props don't use their own animations it's really simple (okay-ishly simple if they do have their own animations), so for the sword and shield you could do the easy way: Rig your character with… -
Re: Being productive with ADD/ADHD/high-functioning autism
The above is a bit of misinformation. The whole vaccines connection is complimentary at best. Based on a study that was shown to be flawed. By a doctor who was descredited. I think Penn and Teller even did a show on it.? The latest theories, deal with the age of your parents when they had you. The dna structure is mutated… -
Re: Pixar's Motto: Going From Suck to Nonsuck
This part is the one I'm actually most curious about. How do they internally structure their management with this as their core value? Every studio I've ever worked for (or even heard of) have performance evaluations, and multiple layers of management, and approval process that REQUIRES approval of superiors. And isn't… -
Re: Arm Joint position
Because the loops are positioned incorrectly, you're never going to get proper joint placement. If you think of vertex weighting as the vertices as children of the bone, think about how the bone rotates... the vertices you're concerned about for the shoulder come at the socket and down the arm/shoulder on the top of the… -
Re: How important are qualifications in a game art position?
I really appreciate all your input guys so thanks. Doing the full time will leave me with very little outside time - as I've spoken with previous graduates. My parents are just big believer's in the piece of paper is the most important thing. So (although I'm fully independent) it is difficult without their full support.… -

Re: Your thoughts on financial double-dipping in games
Blizzard has tens if not hundreds of items like the celestial horse. They could slap a 25$ price tag on any of them and they still would sell in the millions. They sold pets [Lich King] that were almost the exact same model as the ones from Warcraft 3. These items sell because they are part of the warcraft lore and are… -
Re: Gears of War Smoke Grenade
Ghostscape, The only thing im worried about with "loosening" the edges is that when i apply the map to the low poly ill get that weird look because the low poly will have a sharp edge and if the edges arent a little sharp on the high poly then it's going to have that blackness you get when you apply a really rounded edge… -
Any point in modeling to exact metrics if not snapping to grid in engine?
So I'm working on building out a kit for a level I'm working on. The level itself is meant to be organically constructed, so I wont be doing any snapping of anything to a grid. Is there a benefit to model all my floor/wall pieces to any metrics if they arent being snapped? Like 4x4m wall piece for example, or a 2x4m floor… -
Re: My Rig and First Pass Animation
The first video is set to private. we can't see it. Your mouth shapes really need work. It seems you are just opening the jaw a lot, rather than forming the shapes your mouth makes. your lips arent closing during "Bee" or "mm". Lips arent puckering during "oo". Basically, you don't have any common shapes that dictate the…
