I'm facing an issue on which I can't seem to find any answer (google/forums...) when it comes to import a quite simple setup : * One joint that has a non-uniform scale on it (like (0.7;1,2;1,3)) * Its child joint, which rotates and doesn't have the option "Segment Scale Compensate" ticked in Maya (so the rotate will behave…
Its been a while. Was sick for a bit and then all of the team took a break from the project to do contract work for the Queensland government but am back to it! I've continued to bake the ao/normals/ make the low poly mesh of everything planned on the foliage texture sheet. I made a bundle of hay that I was struggling with…
http://docs.pixologic.com/user-guide/3d-modeling/modeling-basics/creating-meshes/mannequins/ Scroll to the "Making your own Mannequin" section and there will be a part about assigning two meshes of your choosing to replace the sphere and joints. ------------------------------------------ Making your own Mannequin It’s not…
I get that there was a console embargo in your country but there are higher peaks to aim for than that one, sheesh dude. Did you actually quit? Don't tell me you did that. Please don't quit your job Don't debase yourself to conforming to base frozen style You are better than that. Every wooden dude wants to work for the…
You can post the link otherwise he is talking about this one i believe. It helps us so now that we have the source material we can better provide feed back for you. You are using Blender? Here is a full video guide that you should put time into, i have never used this but with this much effort by the presenter i am sure…
I was working split hours full time as a salesman (9:00-14:00 then 17:00-21:00 every day + saturdays) i couldnt do this so i asked to cut my hours in half in order to do 3d and work at the field. After half a year i saw that working part time and trying to do 3d still wasn't viable, the same way you described. I was…
Certainly a failure of education. I didn't learn how to learn until I was like 28. Had to learn on my own. Course I went to Alabama public school.... I dunno if public education is designed this way or not, but they really teach you the opposite of how to learn. Teach you how to be a dumb robot. Deny all your good…
Okay devil's avocado time. My first disagreement. maybe you could convince me with more explanation somehow but I do not believe that the ability for people to grow lies solely in the heart of interacting with other people, or even simile/simulacrum/simulation of people. It's a big part of it for sure since one of human's…
The stones forming the arches above the doors in the lighting shots have some problem normals causing odd lighting effects; it's most obvious in the first daylight shot and the second nighttime shot. Look at the stones and you'll see that some are unnaturally dark over part or all of a face. Demo/show reels aren't really…
Okay, I've gone back to the Photoshop file and tweaked the roots so they're less dark, increased the brightness, the saturation, ID etc, so it is looking somewhat better now. I will still need to check how it looks with the Unreal hair shader, too.
