Re: Softimage stuff
Are you working in supra mode? Sticky versus Supra (temporary) keys Softimage always has an active tool. There are two ways to activate a tool in Softimage, sticky or supra. You can use tools in supra (temporary) mode by pressing keys down as you work. To activate sticky mode you quickly press and release the key. When a… -
Re: The Rambling of Another Lost Soul
Hmmm, can`t say that we share an exact parallel but... I`ve done the "quit the job, work on folio, `till I get something more awesome" a number of times, and the thing is nothing more awesome ever comes along. I can`t point out those elusive negative factors precisely but could be 1. I didn`t apply myself hard enough. 2.… -
Re: Cloth modelling headaches
Sorry fur such a long list of questions. Feel that they are connected somewhat. Kanni3d - OK so I tried baking in Marmoset, it's really fast and powerful, but painting skew and offset on the cage does not solve this particular problem. However this functionality alone makes it worth using, and as for the quality of the… -
Re: Michael Bay turning Ninja Turtles into Aliens
So... just because they change the backstory a little, everyone freaks out? Whats the difference between getting oozed on by alien shit, or actually being aliens? If anything, them being aliens are more realistic.... And everything else is gonna be the same. You don't watch all the other TMNT stuff and think every single… -
Re: Newcomer to 3d here need help.
http://www.polycount.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=43 A subforum called technical talk. As for your sword sheath, it's really hard to tell what shape you WANT it to be. I don't see pinching but if it's the stretching back you're talking about you need to add supporting edges. Mainly the red line, if you're also looking for… -
Re: Maya UVs - peltwrap, layout, etc
I'm using Smooth UV all the time, but it doesn't really do the kind of organic unfolds, which Headus does by pressing ctrl+f on a uv shell. I only used Smooth Uv for minor stretching, e.g. when I was unwrapping a kind of box shape with four cuts on the corners. If this is the best Maya has I will get a Headus license… -
Re: Mobile Car Pack for Game Developers
@PeterK - I hear you. Honestly when it comes to this specific thing I don't think it's a worry. I'd say it's about the same as a TV show using a Ford F-150 or a Chrysler in a scene. So long as you obfuscate the logo/emblems/markings/branding (like they do in TV shows) you're fine. They actually do this all of the time on a… -
Re: Recommend GPU for substance painter 2?
I checked CPU-Z and everything checked out ok from what I seen. I believe I have found a work around for my situation. The issue lies with the alloted render time windows 7 allows the GPU inside games, applications etc (this is by default 2 seconds). Due to nvidia's poorly designed drivers (of late), the 970 often… -
Re: SpeedTree... but for Rocks?
It's a Houdini. No other package can do what you can in it. Not without ton of programming/scripting or ton of plugins that costs double of Houdini FX price. Even Softimage with its ICE covered only portion of what you could do in Houdini. I will not even mention Maya. And remember that there is Houdini Indie version… -
Re: [WIP] Panda for unreal
For me it looks like there's a way (many ways, I guess) not to make a new skeleton and animation set (it definitely would be great, but too hard to make by your own and not to drop it). You can not to f*ck up the proportions at the same time. Seriously... I'm sure you could try to make him have some kind of exoskeleton…
