Re: UV Mapping
Hey , this is a slightly different example but you could stop at ~ step 5. Your mesh is really more complex than the one in my example and might need additional vertex relaxation in places (like the crotch area). An alternate way that i used to do when i had no Peel Mode in Max was to simply use soft selection and move… -
Re: Faceted [UE4]
My client wanted a visual way of having objects look like they're transforming into "digital data" / disappearing into the cloud, so I spent today figuring out how to make a dissolve effect I can key in matinee using world space position and the spheremask node. (watching the "Switch" game videos definitely was an… -
Re: Research topic about robot and weapons sci fi design
Honestly? There's one big thing to remember, if working on something even vaguely realistic: Make everything look like it has a PURPOSE. Look at things in the real world vaguely related: Assembly line arms for articulation, etcetera. In the case of a weapon, think about how it works. Does solid ammunition feed into the… -
Re: One mesh modeling or combine mesh and attach it simply
I would say it doesn't matter. From my little understanding of how the rendering pipeline in a graphics card works, the amount of sub-meshes doesn't matter. What matters though is points. Everytime you don't merge vertices together, and everytime you have hard edges/extra smoothing groups or different materials on two… -
Re: Sketchbook: Max Davenport
Hey Max, some nice stuff up here. I noted a few issues with your car, mainly regarding perspective: you don't really have a single diminishing point on this, and there's a pretty sizable variation between some of the angles. The biggest thing though, and a lot of people end up doing this early on so don't sweat it, is that… -
Re: Pixie3D 3D Modeling Software
Imo it repeats the very same mistakes 3d max does in regards of how users are supposed to interact with the soft. I mean buttons and check-boxes. More complex it became more of a mess it would be. I would expect form a new soft to be rather a collection of best ideas than just a simple clone. Imo modern soft should be… -
Re: Maya 2018 Opinions
Bummer @Froyok, that doesn't happen here, seconding trying with fresh prefs or the usual video card driver update suggestion. Loving the additions to the UV editor, though the new panel is a clusterfuck coming from NSUV. I was most excited to see the set texel density in now, it's a butt ton faster than Nightshades, which… -
Re: So, I have to make a knitted character unravel, and I have no idea how to do so.
It sounds like this is for a pre-rendered animated short, rather than a game so... take advantage of that! Story board the hell out of this sequence before you create a highly complicated 'do-everything' rig. Think about shot economy and the most efficient way to visually communicate that this character is unraveling.… -
Re: Maya Scripts...
Nice script, that'll certainly be usefull: Mine: BasePivot A handy tool to set the pivot(s) base of the objects(you can select more than one).. Run the script you then can use LevelTools so you can snap something like a million fence posts to a hilly ground. Stairs Creator Randomize Shader / Randomize Object HKLocalTools… -
Re: Cloverfield
[ QUOTE ] saw this last night. looks like CRAP. color scheme is wrong. should be darker and the 'lungs' on the side of the head should be orange/red. the pose is wrong. at no point did the creature stand like that. it walked on it's knuckles. the body was held parralel to the ground not at an angle like a gorrilla. and the…
