Re: [Blender] Toggle orbit/rotate similar to 3ds Max?
@Eric Chadwick : Rafael's trick basically saves one from having to even right click (and it also leaves the 3d cursor where it is) ; besides that it's the exact same principle indeed. Of course it's a matter of taste - it can be faster, but can also mean that a slip of the mouse can be a false positive, I think. But either… -
Re: Non-game/cinema 3d jobs -- defense, medical, etc
I am in the US, sorry I have not gotten any messages as of late so I don't know what that is about necessarily. @Eric Chadwick Any reports of people not getting messages? Anyway yes, I am in the US and whatever you sent in the PM go ahead and post here and I'll gladly answer it for you :) . The portfolio I can't really… -
Re: Career Advise
Are you asking between programming and art?? Why not combine the two disciplines and get into tech art. I suggest taking a look see through the coding and scripting forum on here. Also find the thread, Tech Artist what are you working on. See if those things interest you. Also throw up a link or two to show us some… -
Re: Export maya rig animation to unity
You have two problems: adding a new piece of geometry to already rigged, vertex weighted and animated model is first one. Correct export of animation is second one. For the second one, Eric pointed you right. For the first one, attach new piece of geometry (pants) to already animated original model that is in it's 'Rest'… -
Re: Mesh Topology
@snader, Yea, AFAIK, everything becomes triangles in every engine I have heard of. Are you sure that this minority of engines don't use the same trick that 3d apps use to render ngons? I'm not sure how rendering as quads would alter the vert. counts of of a mesh, but perhaps they do something I am not aware of. I would… -
Re: [QUESTION] Is there a better way to do this?
@JordanN : I'm going to try another test, trying to get it down as low as possible, however at this point I have the feeling that I may need to create another shader just for the leave and with the example I did above it would have been just one. Also if you would kindly elaborate on "bake down" It has been years since I… -
Re: Low poly base mesh, what are you priorities?
Thx Eric! I think I get what you are saying about the groin topology, but just to be sure: - You are saying they have different polygon density across the groin section. - You are saying the vertical edges concentrate at the groin (front and back). - You are saying the horizontal edges bend up on the sides. I run into 2… -
Re: Character workflow question (number of meshes/UVs)
Oh I just found the answer to my problem! By Eric Chadwick "Hair usually uses a separate bitmap, for two reasons: 1. alpha blend renders more slowly so you limit it to just the parts that need it 2. when you add an alpha channel to a large texture it greatly increases the file size in memory, so it's better to add an alpha… -
Re: Facial Edge loops flow
Thanks for the examples, $!nz and Eric Chadwick. I don't have a polygon limit, but I don't want to push my hardware to the limit when animating and rendering, so I'm trying to keep as low as I can. -The face is a little asymmetrical. If you look closely, the left eye and nostril are slightly different. -Yes, the mouth will… -
Re: Fat cyborgish mushroom-loving adventurer.
Hey eric looks like you have a pretty good start on your character. But there is a good deal of room for improvement. First off I would lose the first pose, I can't tell if he is falling backwards, stomping on that mushroom, or sitting on thet rock, very confusing. The arms in general seem kinda small for the character, if…
