Re: Bone-Driven/ Cloth-Sim Cape Rig: 3ds Max
If you have access to the Apex PhysX plug in it does something similar to what you want. You skin cloth to bones, loosely animate the bones, and finally run then run the sim. Its a little more involved then that. And you'll want to save a backup of your UI customizations as installing the plugin erased mine. Here's some… -
Re: The Area :: Autodesk - GameDev Zone
What do I think? I think you are missing the entire software guide on it. It is missing 3ds max and majority uses it here and some of them use maya. I'd strongly suggust you should add 3ds max tutorials for game arts and punch-ins (game programming) along with few other engines in it. Overall the community is great!! and I… -
Re: Hand Painted Shield
Just curious but are you doing the shadows using black? It's really muddying up texture quality and different material will react differently with shadows.

Re: Frostmourne_WIP

Re: Next Gen 3D Painting Session @ GDC
[ QUOTE ] jeffro, I expect this session will be worth attending. I used to work with Ben - he knows his art and is good at explaining things. I'll be surprised if you can spend an hour with Ben and avoid learning something new. [/ QUOTE ] Second to that. Personally never met him, but his tutorials (Every single of them… -
Re: Game Monster WIP
[ QUOTE ] I think his rear legs need some 'haunches'. Big meaty thighs. Right now they just seem to skinny to support all that mass. [/ QUOTE ] I based it off a photo reference of a hippo so I thought it was ok, but I see what you mean and I might tweak it a bit. [ QUOTE ] Nice model and concept, I've got a noob… -
Re: Wiring Parameters and Custom Attributes
The wire parameter dialog box has been improved upon in max 2008. Still a bit cumbersome though. The best way I've found to navigate through connections is to open up the 'Schematic View' and turn on the 'Param Wires' display. You can then double click on the purple connections to bring up the parameter wiring dialog box.…
