Re: maxon zbrush shady practices
it's just tiresome that the bigger and richer a company gets, the more they want to nickel and dime. it's like the opposite of what you would expect if poor, then need to be a bit of scumbag to get by if rich, help everybody but business does it the opposite. when new, give everything away for free to get people hooked… -
Re: What are you listening to?
i like the video that goes with this some might enjoy this i thought it was kind of creative and mello type of musical vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noUMJfF0RMQ perhaps someone will also get inspired, kind of late 2 weeks/strongs ago. -
Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
ok so I figured out the error, it was because I was trying to connect Chassis_joint to itself. I changed that by having a button in my menu change Chassis_joint to Root_Bone. I have created a few buttons that function properly but there are two buttons which I can't get to work and thats because they are using a string I… -
Re: Blender et sculpting so far.
I was under the impression that Zbrush always worked with regular polygons since its polymesh models have always reported data on its points (vertices) and polys. The models are constructed the same way (except for the fact that it doesn't support n-gons, something it had in common with Blender for a while), and they… -
Re: LA Noire
I've seen some absolutely amazing animators do keyframed lip-sync animation for games, just to watch the mouths barely move in-engine. Blinks no longer blink, but simply slightly close the eye a little rounded out by a bezier curve. Actions like putting a cigar in a mouth put the cigar in the middle of the cheek. If I were… -
Re: Like totally! Like doing hair.
I don't know precisely how UE3 handles mirrored normalmaps, but I bet they'll look correct on the backfaces. Most problems I've heard of people having are when the seam is out in the open, like right down the middle the character's face. Better to reuse UVs as much as possible. Again, take a look at the FFX viewer. Loads… -
Two Root joints for Game Rig ?
Hello, I am not a TD, but I am the solo animator at my current job and I need to deal with the creating of the rigs for Unity. The coder that deals with character skills and integretion is asking for a rig that has two bones that are having the same hierarchy level -> two roots in the same rig. I am using Advanced Skeleton… -
Re: Stylized First Person Axe
Thank you Kanni3D! It does make sense to have less silhouette. I did some bake testing on the rope last night keeping the geo very simple (just a cylinder) and I'm losing some of the form and profile that I want to maintain for first person. I think I can get away with keeping simple geo for the part attached to the main… -
Re: Art School-Scary
Heh, I have seen this animation. Thank you Ged, you have struck a very good cord, I had not thought of this. Damn, I was just at the collage the other day for a meeting with a financial adviser, and on top of that it was and open house that very day (didn't know till I got there). Crap. Maybe I can catch another and chat… -
Re: Nates props
address's most of the things i see wrong with this. remember its all about the texture and getting the biggest bang for your buck. If something can use the same texture and still look good then it should. All it takes to throw someone off is rotating something 90 or 180. you can get a whole lot of mileage off one section.…
