Help transferring facial hair with facial blendshapes
I have a character which had xgen eyebrows and eyelashes. The mesh has about 250 blendshapes for facial animation. I wanted to transfer this to UE4 and I did that by transferring the mesh with blendshapes to UE4. And the xgen hair as alembic. Turns out UE4 doesn't support alembic hair animation (or simulation) if the… -
Re: Question about posing a highpoly character
you could use transpose master to create a merged low-res copy of your sculpt, rig that with zspheres, pose and apply the pose to the sculpt; i suppose that is the intended way. not a fan of building a throwaway zsphere rig and fumbling some sort of skinning together, tbh. i prefer exporting the output of transpose master… -
Re: Wrap retoplogy tool
I've used similar, but much more fully developed tools than what is shown by R3DS. It's cool but this still needs a ton of work, the speed is atrociously slow and the smooth fitting doesn't seem to be working, or it's tolerance for over fitting hasn't been implemented yet, kind of hard to tell with the examples they show.… -
Re: MaxScript Knowledge and Question Thread
I wanted to look into using struct, since I still have a global and two I wanted to remove, but haven't got around it yet. Here is an example script of what I'm trying to do. The problem I have right now is that the two first objects will be placed correctly in relation to each another, but the ones afterwards don't (the… -
Re: Specify Dimensions In 3DSmax
It should be possible, If a check was added when getting the bounding box to look at subobject selections and put xform mods on them. it'd be messy though once you start doing it to multiple objects. it may also be possible to do it with a tranformation matrix so you dont have to use a xform modifier at all. Doing it with… -
Re: rotation gone crazy
You have to freeze the transformation > clear the transformations and double click the rotation button to pull out a menu for the transformation to switch to global transformation from Local. This happens when you have too much history of rotations on one object. EDIT: Be sure that the object is selected before you freeze… -
Copying/Transferring UVs as a NEW UV map in Maya 2017?
One thing that has been bothering me forever is that if I model something and then duplicate the mesh multiple times in order to create a pattern for my model, I have to UV map each mesh separately, or replace them all with the unwrapped version later, which is a major pain in the behind for some models. It's just annoying… -
Re: Object Instancing in game engines
thing is we will get all kinds of "gossip" and opinions, simply as engines may do things differently, as I mentioned in my first post, you can render the same mesh at different locations with numerous ways, each way has its pros and cons. hence some of you guys will say x and others y and other z, and each may be "right"… -

Re: Photo Scanning Pikachu
Hi there! I've never made a blog post before.. but I wanted to keep going on this project and be consistent with it. I'm posting this here for my own sake but also a way to be more involved in our industry community, learn new techniques, and hear other artists' perspective or advice, if you're so inclined to give it 😁 I…
