Re: 3ds Max - Custom Rig Interpolation Issue
So if I'm understanding you, you want to use something like Biped's 'planted key' functionality? Where you can lock down a foot and have it not move while you animate the body, right? But then set a 'free key' and have the foot follow the body, right? If so, you're not going to get this sort of behavior with standard max… -
Re: Growing vines for game use
You're baking the mesh object with the deformer directly? or are you creating several copies of the deformed object along the curve and using those as blendshape targets? Other ways of approaching it: rig the vines to a series of joints, can be chain or share same parent joint, motion path them to the curves on the arm.… -
Re: [WIP] Low-poly street cleaning vehicle
Thanks to everybody for the replies. @Snader: These are some very good observations, thanks a lot! I was able to reduce the poly-count on the broom-handles and I also improved the alarm-light. As for the tires: Since they don't have a very bright texture there, I think I can go ahead and fake the bevel with a highlight in… -
Re: Book recommendation: Real time rendering
Indeed a book that every tech artist should have. Here's some books I have in my library: David Lanier - 3ds Max SDK (free from his website, a bit dated but a good overview of the basics) David Gould - Complete Maya programming I & II Vertex I & II(hopefully soon :) ) Ballistic's Character Modeling I - III had some… -
Re: The Witch WIP
Thank you guys for the quick replys! David Wakelin: Form is definitely prefered before function here. I really want to go over the top. Since she's a witch the shoulderpad will be part of her defensive skills summoned by magic. Wait till you see her scythe which is part of her offensive skills ;) For the front section… -
Re: Maya 2016 EXT 2: a pretty dam huge update.
If you're not on a nvidia card I would say you're totally screwed. I've never been had a stable maya when using an ATI card. Also be careful of the symmetry setting being turned on when you want to scale objects. It will offset the center and scale only based on half of your cylinder. It's a great feature in many… -
Re: Back to 2D - learning the basics first [advice is welcome!]
I imagine this beeing realy hard when the character is not standing perfectly straigt. When he is bent and in some twisted pose you can't jsut work with lines can you? I guess its more of a "visual guidance" once you got the basics and move to more complex poses. Just wonder why you said 5 Lines between the planes? I just… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
after all this 'should've worked harder, should've expected less', there is failing somewhere, i dont know if its the patently false hints of we'll further your career, we provide excellent teaching, or the also false expectations of students expecting to be spoon fed everything they'll need to know to succeed. All… -
Re: Mario Manzanares' art & stuff
@Greg Westphal Thank you! It means a lot you are noticing it :) Now is time for a piece I started in 2013 but never finished. At that point, I felt like I didn't have the skills to take this to the level I wanted to achieve. Now that I feel more confident with my rendering and with a lot of feedback from friends an… -
Re: Any one else disappointed?
Yes, the elder scrolls series in general annoyed me. I feel the game would be much more enjoyable as a third person game than a first person. Yes i know it can go third person, but especially in oblivion it feels like a cheap 3rd party mod addon and the third person animations not only fail to look and feel like first…
