Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Annie
Reply by EtotheRic · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtThanks Bobo! Hoo, I got it entered! Here are the images I ended up with. I was having quite a bit of fun with some morph targets but wasn't sure how to include those in the submission stuff but I'll post them here later. I had some other poses as well. In the end I ended up just under 11k triangles for everything and one… -
Re: Animation Question (animating ropes and cables)
Spline Ik wouldn't really work in this situation because it needs to connect on both ends and stretch. Maya's spline IK keeps the same length, and even most stretch solutions tend to cause the bones to overshoot the end goal slightly. In this situation I would use a Motion Path (Animate --> Motion Paths --> Attach To… -
Re: Spawn pimpology!
Thx a lot for the comments everyone =) I now reckon that i made quite a few wrong design choises, but now, i can't do much without redo most of it :\ so i just quick fixed what i could do with just vertice tweaking and little more. And on the end, this wasn't based on any Spawn reference so "realism" wasn't the first aim,… -

Re: Outsource/freelance artists should not be left behind
In some cases the asset that was delivered by outsource/freelance will end up being polished/tweaked and changed a lot and the end result that ends up ingame can be way different from what was originally submitted by a freelancer/source. If a company would allow a freelancer to post renders of what was submitted, there is… -

Re: Baking animation frames using particles in Max
For baking animation you would want to open the motion tab in max. Make sure you have trajectories selected. Start time is what frame the animation baking starts on, and end time is the end from of the baked animation. Samples is how many key frames you will have in between the start time and end time. Make sure you have… -
Re: A portfolio quandary.
I got my job with a pretty old portfolio. 1-2 crappy normal mapped assets (which I should farken redo), and a bunch of stuff from the last PS2/Xbox title I worked on. Regardless of how powerful modern consoles are, knowing optimization is ALWAYS a good thing. If you're looking for something a lot more high end in terms of… -
Re: The Hobbit
I completely agree with you there. LOTR was awesome because it took orcs, elves and hobbits (which are more or less as comedic as it gets) and put them in a serious, believable world. The "believable world" oftentimes breaks down in the Hobbit movies. One of the biggest shortcomings! LotR had a ton of musical themes that…
