Re: Rigging thread, post your problems or solutions
I'm currently stuck on a custom rigging script as I don't know how to design it. I'm working on a custom auto-rigger in Maya, rather simple, that match the requirements of one of my game project. So it's a not a tool dedicated to match every case possible. Before explaining my problem, here is how my script is used : -… -
Re: Need advice - Lego House :)
Mark, thank you so much for your detailed response and the links you provided, I really appreciate that, and it has helped me understand things better and plan my model in a lot more detail. I hope you don't mind me asking a few noobish questions in regards to what you said. I have read over the links you have shown me and… -
Re: UV Game - Weak: Maya, Planar Mapping, and Maintaining Proportion
ok, yeah, yuck, ick. So with a boxy example like the candle box, this is pretty easy. My workflow for most models is to start with planar, camera or automatic projection; usually on the whole model, mark and cut seams, then work with Unfold. The new unwrap is great, but can still mangle UVs and will nearly always add some… -
Re: Erp i guess this would be a sketch thread right? OMG i'm so new!
I don't mean to pile it on, but to me I have to say, I don't believe that someone capable of creating such a nice face, like the black cannary face, in Maya, is not able to transfer that skill to zbrush, an arguably 10x easier environment to work in. If it was just a matter of software skills, I would give you the benefit… -
Re: Overwhelmed and want Advice
For the moment, concentrate on still images; show-reels are really only relevant for animators & f/x artists. Cull your portfolio to include only the best - and most relevant - pieces. You will be judged by your weakest piece, so you're much better off with 3 good pieces than with 3 good pieces and 6 mediocre ones. Also,… -
Re: Low poly Models & Anti Aliasing!
You can't really ask for very specific tutorials like these (about triangles) for low poly modeling, since it's a artist to artist basis and there really isn't a standard you can look for, outside of learning the basics and creating your own stuff in the process. For example, the 3 finger setup is something old artists… -
Re: Should I be worried about this warning message?
I'll show you what I'm doing specifically: basically I placed all my modular pieces in editor before I did any uvs or lightmaps. Then when I had everything all set up nice, I went back, uved them for both textures and lightmaps and reimported. I used two separate 512 tileable textures on the following example piece: This… -
Re: Best programs to build concepts with
Why do so many initial question ask for 'best' !? Why not ask 'what is a good...' as there is no such thing as a best, anyway my push in this thread: Alchemy: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=52370 http://al.chemy.org/ [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYYSxZZzgjc[/ame] Is in my opinion a good path because… -
Re: will the next photoshoppee actually be awesome?
I mean program loading man :D , one click, and photoshop instantly (err, like Modo?). Image loads are a thing of your computer, mine can load 4000px tga images in ms and i can't ask much in that sense. I also work with psd images of 300+mb, and my system loads them in seconds. 5.5 for illustration is like a charm, and PS7… -
Re: Bill Maher: Stand up for the 70% of Americans who aren't crazy
Arsh; isn't that kind of what Bill was saying too? I really don't agree with the gun thing, I mean if it ever comes down to it, ok you'll need a gun, but we're talking about the political system here, not a violent revolution. Vig; theres a different between debating with civility and having a few barbs on the end of your…
