Re: KA-52 Alligator Russian Attack Helicopter
I typically don't like to work with such a low amount of poly's as I don't smooth mesh preview very often. So my non smooth version captures the full essence of the model I am modeling; this gives me enough edges to carve out any of the details I may need aswell as stick with the reference/blueprint closer (I find it… -
Re: 1 Year Plan
Awesome idea Carl. I know you're split into what to focus on. But for what you're trying to do I would say focus. Laser focus. Pick 1 thing and get really good at it. If it's a super small niche it might take a while of find a job. But the job will almost find you. If it's more general you'll be able to apply at more… -
Re: Broomstick staws/twigs modeling need help
Particle hair in Blender or Maya XGen or whatever hair generator in your preferred 3D package. In your place I'd use a hair cards-inspired approach to the LP, but with a solid core under the layers of twigs. Since the beginning is so tightly packed and needs to have "closed" roots it'd be easier to make that part unique… -
Re: [SOLVED] Help with model, strange lighting on hair.
Yes, its about mip maps and the color map not having dilation. Looks like the color map has white background, which isn't visible on your images cause they are png so the transparency is applied on the preview. An easy way to fix the issue is to open up all color maps in ps, make a new layer, put it under the original… -
Re: Cannot export a model from Mudbox to Maya.
First - are you 'sending to maya', or are you exporting to fbx? Sending can be problematic, whereas FBX or OBJ tend to be more reliable. Other things to try are to collapse all your sculpt layers down to make the simplest mesh possible. Ditto for paint layers. If there is something wrong with your object, you could try… -
Re: Lamia Rigging Reqesting Advice
So, snakes move through curved motions. Couple of things, figure out the key sections of the snake body that are "pushing" and the key portions that are just following the whip-like motion. In either case the "push" is going to be a left to right motion that is going to appear to "roll" down the length of the body. You… -
Re: [WIP]*Oh boy*_ WWW_character
You definitely don't want to learn rigging/skin weighting with this guy. It will be a tremendous nightmare to keep all the layers from clipping. To get a general understanding enough to make simple rigs for posing or retargeting, pluralsight has several courses and you could complete them all in a month or two -- so about… -
Re: First 3D character.
You've done a great job here. I like the facial expression and the brain exposed. I also like the metalwork. I would work on the skin tones, using various shades of green, slight blues, purples, and possibly red. I wouldn't over do it though. I would layer those colors to expound on pocketed areas, such as inside the… -
Re: Assign shader to objects using pymel?
Correct. I thought about excluding them, but it doesn't really matter. I changed the render stats so they aren't rendered anyway. Thanks for the tip about 'ls.' That little command seems to have a lot of tricks to it for doing something so seemingly simple. Using hyperShade is the way to go, right? Did this: Got this: I'm… -
Re: Unable to load packages
Hi, I have a similar issue, but I think you're trying to load a package that was saved on a later version of UDK. UDK packages are not backwards compatible as far as I'm aware. Hope this helps? If you have any information on what actually makes UDK crash? I would really appreciate it, as I have recently lost my laptop and…
