Hello , first of all I must say I am a total noob on bone setup , I can rig a bit but I wanted to try to rig a simple foldable chair, and this is the setup I did, but when I add inverse kinematic HD from the smaller bone to the root bone when I move it it all trembles and twists the position of the skinned arms of the…
That kind of depends on two things. 1) How you rigged up the siders and what they are interacting with inside the material? 1a) Is it adjusting the UVs on the mesh, or UV offset values for the map in the material? 2) How comfortable are you with scripting? The first idea that jumps to mind, is to use a callback that sets…
I my opinion comparing character and environment artists is pretty useless. Like if a character artist would also automatically be a great environment artist etc. I can only speak from what I do (env art), but there is SO much more to it than trying to create something beautiful.

Your all a bunch of sell-out whores in cheap lipstick. bend over. If it makes you feel safe, secure and wanted. Why fights it? Big daddy…
@EliasWick : I understand what you are getting at by wanting a tablet with an active area similar to the paper you are used to. However, handling a tablet is completely different from working traditionally - for most users, A4 tablets tend to "feel too big", and do not emulate the feeling of drawing on a sheet of paper at…
I am still, a newbie and I have little knowledge and experience of how this hierarchy system works down the line on a working environment/pipeline. That said, what are the pros/cons of these two methods, are there any, or does it matter at all? I kinda brushed a bit on learning rigging but one thing I know is parenting is…
