One of the small things that disappointed me about Modo 801 was the lack of vertex colour improvements. Eight releases now and you still can't easily manipulate vertex alpha despite meshes supporting it. The math tool is no good either because from my experience you can only transfer weight map values to the red channel,…
I have an old thread that relates to this, but I never really went back to update my findings. Short answer is that per-face material assignments in maya are fucked and have been for a long time, there's lots of operations that can sneak in and cause the issue. Short solution is to use this script instead of separate, you…
EarthQuake: Basically I made a low poly model in Maya, and then sculpted on it in Zbrush, and now I am trying to take that high resolution sculpt back into Maya and apply it to the low res mesh. Which I did in the pictures. I just want it to look normal, how it looks similar to the high res version in zbrush. Except I am…
So I went ahead and decided to finish with the low poly building even though that's not the preferred method. I thought it'd be better to have something done and ready to go just in case I don't have enough time for Z-brush with finals around the corner. So here we go! I finished all the low poly modeling with a few…
Just a few more notes. You're on the right track, I think. Here's some videos that helped me a ton [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EPNYWeEf1U"]How to Draw the Head from Any Angle - YouTube[/ame] [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4ZLkyTuX_w"]How to Draw the Head - Front View - YouTube[/ame]…
You haven't spent enough tris on the basic shape. I would look at these areas first: Skirts, way too highpoly when viewed from the side for you to have those quite serious faults when viewed in 3/4 angle from the front like in the photo. Headlights, fewer segments (weld!) as you get closer to the back. Top part of the…
Larger ships, angular design, quicker execution, mild deviations from symmetry... now we talkin'? Not the largest ships to come, but maybe headed in the right direction. I'm feeling it anyway. Space suits or something next. Got to have some little mans to man the deck and turrets on the battleship... and splat when you…
[ QUOTE ] Naming hasn't worked so well for me/us. Though I like the sound of your browser Vig. [/ QUOTE ]It's nice because it also previews weird formats and has toggles to view alpha info. Before it was written we used XNView and before that ACDSee, which lets you view TGA's and has some nice batch rename tools. Thats…
can be a good and bad thing. on one hand, take myself as an example. it wouldn't be a stretch to say i'm disliked here due to my views on certain things. but it's not my views that are the problem, it's the fact that i've had no problem expressing them here, on an online forum. where in real life, i would generally tend to…
Which is the better GAMES console to buy, ignoring Playing any media? To date, I can honestly saw the Xbox 360 simply because of the games available. It's had a head start on the PS3 and has a much bigger games library. It's also cheaper than the PS3 and the online integration is great (and yes, you have to pay extra for…
