I can't express how much that means to me! I expected a more harsh start. Especially @supaclueless it's good to hear that the difficultt balance is right. The next tutorial will be about transforming and generating UVs, like planar mapping, because I feel that this topic will return often. Thanks again for the tip to…
For example i make a box that has 2 vertex on the x axis. from a meter or so away on the wireframe, they are lined up fine, and the move/transform tool says they are lined up correctly, but i zoom in and the damn things arent lined up. When i manually enter a coordinate for each vertex they will line up right, but i cant…
Also consider how your character is going to deform and how that will effect the look of the tattoo. Lets say you put a dragon tattoo in a deforming area and suddenly your awesome tattoo transforms into a dolphin fucking a penguin... you're going to be yelled at. I bring it up because there are times character artists work…
For those who've seen it, should I take my kids with me? The violence isn't a big deal as long as it isn't extremely gory, but I want to make sure there aren't any sex scenes. I don't want the Transformers revisited (talking about masturbation and wanting to 'ride her home'. I really want to check out this flick this…
Not a Maya solution, but here's how I would do it in Blender anyway. Create your straight rope, doesn't matter how: Conform it to a curve: You get live updates and easy control of the twist by transforming the beziers with the standard manipulators: Unlike Maya's wire deformer, it won't distort your geometry like in that…
smaller update, nothing important to show really, but thought I should post anyway. The electric transformer (726 tri's, way too many for an object hardly showing, the four screws ate it all) has a 512x512 color & spec as does the radio box (360 tri's). The metal plating (434 tri's) has a 256x256 color + spec. Hopefully…
Bought this in steam and been playing all day. OH NO figured out item dup bug. Go to shop, pick up item you can buy (like portal scroll, doesn't matter long as cheap), drop it over item in your inventory you want to dup, and the thing you had just picked up (scroll for example) will be transformed into that item in your…
Thanks everyone. :) If you go to Transform, Modifiers, turn off XYZ, and turn on Z, you'll solve that problem. The only tiling issue I encounter is with AO. AO almost always requires some sort of geo continuation on all 4 sides of the plane to calculate correctly. So you either have to dup your plane, move it over to all 4…
actually one of my teachers was telling me about this old ass engine that required you to do things in quads because it wouldnt import correctly otherwise. I didnt understand the exact technical stuff behind it but it was something like, when it went to transform a poly into a triangle and the poly was already a triangle…
