next code crunch, I'll add in the rest of the 2d camera system. Extend it to do cinematic more easily and change axis placement in the environment. Char has to walk forward in certain places and the camera axis must interp to new positions. Once thats complete, E1M1 is pretty much done with all hard code stuff and the rest…
This post is really old, but I've run into the exact same issue. I'm trying to offset my scatter object in the Z axis, but if I enter a value like -500 trying to get the objects to sink into the ground a bit, some go up and some go down. What gives? It's not placing the objects based on the pivot either. Really irritating.
UV on hi res mesh is not necessary at all in typical baking scenario but could be helpful in some special cases IMO. When your model is a mess of ropes , small details like rows of bolts next to each other or hordian knot of pipes etc. So in such case it might be more time efficient to bake object space normal map on hi…
Hey y'all! I've been making some characters for a 3D game. I'm trying to shoot for an art style similar to World of Warcraft. Another example would be the style used by N-hance studios. This latest model I worked on is supposed to be the first playable character. Can you tell me what you think? Let me know if you need more…
"But one thing which is driving me INSANE is how modelling (as far as I understand) is based on adding primitive shapes and forming, scaling, sculpting, morphing etc into the desired shape..." That's incorrect. While a package like Blender doesn't have much in terms of procedural CAD-like features, object dimensions can be…
Hello all, for a while I've been stumped on how to properly achieve forearm twist in 3DSmax. Out of the many methods I had found, I followed this tut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJmMTJboqJ8&t=3s It was the best one so far, however, the twist bones would weirdly snap in a different orientation if the rotation of the…
I'm in the penultimate semester of architectural grad school working on my thesis. My project is a redesign of RFK stadium in Washington D.C. - the now abandoned stadium of the former Washington Redskins. Part of my project is a total rebranding of the Washington NFL franchise to more closely align with the Native American…
not that i know of. i think that it always has to be the up axis which is derived from the two other axis but somebody more tech saavy than me could say otherwise. if you are viewing the textures like ripped from some game the naming convention might provide a clue. edit: didn't see earthquakes response above. thats the…
(Hello, i have a problem with my meshes they suddenly appear to have weird bug with normal only when i move my camera on axis like front or side and i can't use a knife tool normaly it just rip off the face completely in all case and i tested a new file it work fine here,and my normal are correctly calculated. All my mesh…
I was using this Mel script to switching between different camera angles for years but when I updated to Maya 2024 it stopped working. Can you please help me to fix it? Thank you. global proc switchCam(int $snap){ int $check = 0; string $switchCam; string $switchCamP = "switchCam_Persp1"; string $switchCamO =…
