UDK Learning University
Hello, My name is Lee, and I would like your guys opinion of what we are doing over at ULU. I will give a little background. About 1 year ago, without any prior game design knowledge, I set out to learn all I could about UDK and game design. It was a struggle to say the least. With tutorials scattered, and virtually… -
Re: Reallusion Character Design - Anaximander
Reply by Anaximander · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Reallusion's 3D Character Design Contest 2016This is a combination test post of learning to put images on this forum and a discussion of a little mystery I don't understand. So. I'm busily learning to use 3d coat and decide to try a set of boots. I decide to make one boot and mirror it in blender. The mirrored boot has the normals pointing in so I recalculate them to… -
Re: Best Maya realtime shader?
Maya has some problems if you try to use CGFX shaders for an animated short or something similar. Although its technically possible, the interactivity of the program, and the hypershade in particular completely tank, to the point where it might take 30 - 40 minutes just to open the scene and activate 'textured' mode for… -
Re: Bone Driven Facial Rigging
It all depends on the engine and what the code monkeys cook up. In general when exporting (and each exporter is different), helper objects are interpeted as bones, but it depends. Sometimes it's not the object type that determines if its a bone but how it is applied to the scene. For example if you skin a mesh to a box,… -

Ugh, first post and I screwed up the link, off to a grand start here. Of course the site needs a lot of work, but as I said, I am very clueless when it comes to web design (as you can see, even hotlinking stuff screws me up). It takes me forever to figure out the right html/css codes to just get things aligned properly,… -
Re: Adding Jaw bone to biped in 3ds max
I'm not quite sure, but is'nt that the same as toggling the "always deform" checkbox in Skin's advanced rollout off and on again after bone adjustments, while the timeline is at the reference frame ? I have the suspection that the "set skin pose" command is just doing that internally PS: Out of curiosity i rechecked the… -
Re: Not Your Average Software Debate
In addition to learning 3d modeling packages, have you emphasized the importance of learning 2D foundational art skills with your son? Artists who have an analogue drawing background tend to produce superior work, particularly when it comes to sculpting due to having intimate knowledge of forms, tone, color theory, etc.…
