Re: Maxscript - Check if object convex?
Check if the angle between adjacent faces is less that 180 then the object is not convex. To get the angle between two faces calculate the dot product of the normals and then arc-cosine the value to get the angle. Since the angle between two vectors(normals) cannot be more that 180. Calculate the cross of the normals and… -
Re: Meckenburg - The Sky City
Nice, looks pretty neat overall. The presentation of the individual modular pieces irks me a little bit though. The spec/lighting is making everything look really shiny and cheap. It all looks much better in UDK though. Maybe consider working on that...or even just getting footage of the pieces spinning in UDK so they… -
Re: Hair problems (low poly)
Thank you for the answer.^^ I really tried it , I tried to extrude the hair from the head, I tried it like in the "Joan of Arc" tutorial and I even tried it with alpha-planes. Alpha-planes: But that doesn't give me the "Cartoon/Anime/unrealistic" look that i want. Everytime without reasonable results. And besides, I have… -
Re: Sabrina Sarajy (WIP)
great to see you improving! just a small comment here, she is looking wooden/shocked... might be due to the iris placement. i think it needs some playing around. im not sure if you turned on perspective in zbrush (~10 is a good number) - the back of her skull is far too narrow. it should be wider when viewed from the… -
Re: End of Semester Art Dump
pretty cool man! I really dig that last piece. The use of color makes your eye dart all over and its a fun image to look at. I guess I`m irked by the stylistic choice to make his face extremely well rendered, proportionaly and everything, then he has these big and chunky legs and feet that would look more appropriate on a… -
Re: Mobile Game prototype, feedbacks needed for a poor 3d artist getting back to 2d!
"Drawing from the shoulder" means that you lock your wrist, and all rotation should happen in your elbow and shoulder. It forces you to take bigger more deliberate strokes. Mechanically, you should be getting smoother arcs with it (just think how many joints are at work when you use you fingers and wrist). It's also less… -
Re: TitanFall
The origin issue solved itself for me. I'm a credit card fraudster because I used my credit card from China. Everyone knows that whoever uses a foreign credit card in this country can't be a tourist or an expat. Even worse, EA doesn't care about helping you and refers you to Digital River, Inc. Probably the worst e-payment… -
Re: max close/weld spline dialogue question
http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/tutorials/surfacetools_for_low_poly_figure_modeling.rar It'll be a MHT file when you unpack it, only openable by Internet Explorer I think. Doesn't really matter that you can't join the verts. IIRC the Surface modifier doesn't care, as long as they're close to each other, and each patch… -
Re: The buttons on your wacom pen...
I mapped my wacom to something different in every bit of software I own, and the sexy wacom hotkeys on my intuos3. I just wish the pen worked with arc rotations in games like starcraft2, because I don't own a mouse. theres another max+wacom thread on this page:… -
Re: another crazy lawsuit?!?
I don't think Canada or the UK are as quick to the law courts as America is. This reminds me of something I read the other week. Apparently that Beiber kid's manager was arrested because he failed to tweet about an appearance at a mall being cancelled. Something about conspiracy to cause a riot, IIRC. I think people need…
