Re: Topogun issues/alternatives?
You can do that but it's not the same. You'd also have to put in a poly select modifier to clear your current selection and then turn 'show end result' on and work with a ghosted wireframe. The trick is quite simple though, Wrapit clones your highres reference and hides it, then applies a Push modifier on that object and… -
Help with Chainmail
Hey guys, Working on my entry for dom war, and I was wondering how you guys might recommend getting chainmail on my highpoly. So far I've tried a combo of Metaliandy's chain mail script to generate the mail, and MoPKnit to try to get it onto the mesh, but I've run into some issues. Basically, everything works until I try… -
Re: Feedback for a complete beginner
This is a solid first attempt! To answer your questions: The UV map has a lot of wasted space. Do you have the TexTools/Texel Density Checker/UVpackmaster plugins?

Re: Government bailouts and the Auto Industry?
is it me or did the auto industry make new awards in the past 10 years to try and make US cars look more legit? "Award for best initial quality"? WTF.

Re: Looking for a (maya) script that takes a model and deforms a flat version to the given curvature.
I did something a little like this a while back and here's what I came up with: A curve matching your current shape that you'll manipulate CVs on later when deforming. A plane perpendicular to the curve, and extruded along it with segments cranked way up. It should encapsulate what you want deformed, and doesn't… -
Re: DONE Realtime Ancient Martial Artist Character. 80k Tris. 4k Textures.
The wrap on the left hand isn't as good as the one on the right and it also sticks out more, plus he's holding the weapon in it. If you remove the wrap from the metal hand completely and replace it with the one on a healthy arm, that would make it look much better. Even if you keep the glove. Btw, I really like how the… -
Making pattern follow non-cylindrical curved surface. (pistol grip pattern)
Hey guys, I was wondering how to get a diamond pattern to follow the shape of a pistol grip around an awkwardly curved surface. I've been searching everywhere and from what I've found people generally add this pattern on a cylinder, or pistol grip sides, but never the whole way around. I'm using 3dsmax. I've tried an ffd… -
