Re: MMO Character Face Customization Pipeline
I tend to find that Morph targets tend to work best, since faces require that extra 'precision' that bones could give, but will be messier. It's all about settings up your base mesh as your starting point, making a copy of it, and putting up some big values for cheeks, nose, etc and then exposing the slider and how much… -
Re: Character Test
@movento - yes, I appreciate the crits. The head was my focus, then I worked on the details of the clothes. In hindsight, I would work to give the clothes more map space. The red and green channels of the normal map were used on both the clothes and the head. @seth - yes, more polys are needed on the clothes. Glad you like… -
Re: do i even substance paint bro? (problems with bake and back face culling)
Yeah i know what you mean, i believe its similar to the freeze transformations/ reset transformations tools in maya? just resets the pivot point and its position in x,y,z space so that its 0,0,0 rather than negative if its been mirrored? saying this i have been messing around with it and i got it to work so far by… -
Re: how do you model heads?
I found sculpting them helped me a lot. Doing them in Z-Brush instead of Maya so you can quickly do rough heads and make quick adjustments. I found that playing around with a sculpted head helped too, so making some parts really stretched etc to see how and why they look wrong. Get a mirror and look at your own face, feel… -
Re: Professional Desktop Workstation advice - no custom built
I'm pretty happy with my Dell T3600 - works like a champ. Very stable. Latest crash must have been a year ago. Also very silent - the most noisy thing is the old AMD Radeon I put in. The only problem with dell is expansion. Not that there's not enough space, but Dell only gives you the bare minimum of cables, only covering… -
Re: Foilage Flickering in Camera Sequence
Yes, I had this problem as well, and it's a real bummer. The only fix I found for it, is to disable '2-sided' in the material, and then manually add a backface to the model itself. Other than that I found no info on the subject. It's almost as if the material adds a backside to the material, being un-illuminated, and… -
Re: spline alignment shell, path conform, constraints, whateva
Ya lost me at "using a spline as a bevel" are you path deforming a custom piece of geo down the spline that mimics the bevel? Pretty cool idea to avoid beveling but a little labor intensive, depends on the object though. If you're using pathdeform to place a shape along a spline, use Pathdeform(WSM) it allows you to set… -
Re: Modo Rules!
I love Modo. Absolutely adore it. There are a lot of things about it that still bug me, however: -Destructive modeling as EarthQuake mentioned above. Everything you do changes things and the only way to undo what you've done is Ctrl+Z. -No smoothing groups, among other material complaints. The smoothing in Modo sucks.… -
Re: A few Xnormal related questions and such
How many polygons have your lowpoly and highpoly models, pls? And... are you sure the highpoly mesh is marked as "visible" in the highpoly list and also that you checked the "show highpoly meshes" inside the viewer? Do you see any error dialog telling you that your VRAM is not enough to show the mesh? With a 1Gb card you… -
Re: Borderlands redesign
Or you're just a baby. What's the point in just saying "I dont like it." and nothing more, that's rude. Feedback without reason is valueless. It IS the nice thing to do to say what makes me not like it, if I didn't care I wouldn't. How would I say what I said "better" ? "I really dont like x y and z, but man I sure am glad…
