Re: How to stop a turntable spinning without reset the camera to the start position?
The turntable object doesn't provide this level of control. What you can do is instead is create a group object, place it where you with the pivot point to be, and then place your camera in that group instead of a turntable. Then you can animate the group's rotation, using the keyframing and falloff controls in the… -
Re: ZBrush - Seeking workflow advice / suggestions
@kanga Thanks for the input. You're right, I will stay more focused and on task. I'll mess around with z-layers at some other time perhaps. I'm curious how the whole high-poly / low-poly mouth bag thing will work. I think Pavovlich has something covering that with his "creature sculpting" tutorial chain, I'll see If i can… -
Re: HELP! xNormal Hates Me! [Solved]
For those of you who would like a list of steps to follow in order to troubleshoot your situation concerning normal maps, here is the one I compiled from my specific situation. THIS LIST IS FOR 3DS MAX 1. Model high poly. 2. Model low poly. 3. Unwrap low poly. ----------Make sure your seams are wherever there is a 90… -
Re: Stuck on what to do next: Mesh Optimization
After working a bit more on the form I decided to remove the straps that I had sculpted into the character’s body and make them their own sub tools again because I really want to learn how to handle multiple high poly sub tools and the process of projecting/baking out the detail onto a low poly mesh. I am very confused and… -
Re: Max Script Question
Well good, I've hit a few people with examples like that and their brains explode so you're probably in good shape to pick it up. Its the most artist friendly language I've seen. For the most part if people can record actions in PhotoShop they can "write" simple scripts that save time. A bunch of those people can take it… -
Re: Importing .SMD for animation
Like I said earlier, you really can't because there's no ingame compiler for pure animations yet. Also, not sure why you want one that's already made for that, ANY animation will do the job there, even if it's just the arms flailing around. Solution: Import FBX files into Maya, build your rig (can be very simple to test it… -
Re: Diablo 3 Witch Doctor Crest
For the flag and imported the rod into marvelous designer and made a simple hanging sheet. I wanted to make the rips and tears on an alpha card so that required that I go and utilize the Transfer Attributes option in Maya. A quick break down on how that was done: Marvelous Designer exports their .obj's tessimated. I wanted… -
Re: Block in Diablo scene
About warping the window I think it was a good idea and no worries about the polycost, you are still very low on the overall scale for a scene, i'm trying to help you cut poly's here and there so that you can afford to do things such as model the cracks on the kiln :) so that when it gets a little crazy it's okay. You do… -
Re: Xhaz the Battle Scholar - WIP (C-n'-C/Help Appreciated)
That's pretty cool, I like the design and exaggeration. Answers to some of your questions, maybe: * Lowpoly in Maya? I tend to do a "base mesh" first if I'm sculpting something. That way you don't get locked down into final topology, or spend ages modelling something that you then throw away or rework heavily once… -
Re: How to detach preserving normal orientation?
As Axi5 said if you make normals explicit before splitting your mesh ,they should stay same and intact after detaching . if you want to fix it on already detached object the only way I know is Noors normal theft script . It can transfer normals from one object to another .
