Edge loops for elbows and knees
Hey forums! I'm tasked with re-modeling a character for a prototyping assignment we have at school. The first model had some errors when it came to rigging - the knees and elbows just werent deforming correctly. Are there any tricks out there that I should know about before tackling this again? I do understand the concepts… -
Re: Finding files with 16 bit at least height info?
Thanks Eric . I didn't even know it is there. looks like working better than Adobe Bridge. Does anyone know what might be a quick search line syntax to use in file explorer "quick search" line to look for any image being not 8 , not 24 and not 32 bit usually associated with 8 bit per sample images ? -
panel loops and curve brushes for hard surface modeling
Hey gang, In the process of getting ZBrush 4r6 and I was looking at videos of panel loops and the curve brushes. How effective are they for hard surface modeling? Take for example, this armor that I'm working on for this character: -
Re: 3dsmax + dreamscape + bake texture loop
It's been a loooong time since I used Dreamscape. I only recall carefully adjusting my rendered frame range to match the wave frequency. It does loop perfectly. Most video players do not play looping videos perfectly, they add a pause. Quicktime is the best at this I think. For the height map render, I applied a sideways… -
Re: Beauty or Execution? Which one is better to ace as a Junior?
Not really. A book cover is a fundamentally different thing from the writing itself. Though I guess you could certainly have a great-looking 3d model that has super ugly wireframes, crazy terrible UVs, messy material structure, etc. But good-looking 3d art is more exclusive than well-formed but non-pretty 3D art. Harder to… -
Re: Loops vs Grid
Jesus christ, thanks so much, especially @FrankPolygon! My issue with support loops is that with lots of different details it becomes kind of a puzzle to resolve everything into another in the end, and i'm working on my portfolio right now and need some good looking topology, although i know that even ngons or tris could… -
melScript - in loop / create shader - connect textures
Hello everybody, I'm modifying a script I've used in the past and am running into issues. The goal is to have a for loop that creates a StingrayPBS shader, then checks the "Use Color Map" attribute. The pain point is that the "Use Color Map" attribute doesn't seem accessible until after the loop is completed. I run the… -
[3ds Max] Unfold Strip from loop maxscript?
Is there a member function or function in maxscript to do the same as pressing the button in the Unwrap_UVW modifier panel "Unfold strip from loop"? I have looked over the maxscript help file but can't seem to find the solution. Any assistance with this would be appreciated. -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Maybe the game industry turned into a zombie while we weren't looking and now it's not the person we once loved. Mercy might be the only option. Maybe (probably) it will be reborn because - like books and movies - it is still needed, it is still important. Sure it probably won't be near quadruple-A budgets (itself a… -
Re: Edge loops Question
That is the one I was looking at! It's pretty great. I'm definitely feeling more confident knowing that I've been doing it this way as well. It just takes a good chuck of time making all of that additional geo, but I guess as long as you use shortcut keys for connect/looping/swift loops and using mirroring/symmetry it will…
