Rigging - best way to rig soft things, e.g. a human heart
So I need to rig up a human heart, the animation is relatively basic, but I'm not sure about the best way to go about rigging it. I thought i might try something using clusters, but I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone's done it before. It's going in to UE4, if that makes a difference. Thanks! -
Re: Blender Line Art with tons of extra lines all over geometry in render
dunno how the line art shader works, but a guess is that it is reading the normals, and export from UE won't include shading information, so all the edges are hard. if you unlock the normals and smooth them by angle that may solve the issue. -
Re: [workflow/best practice] 3ds Max/SP/Unity Hero Asset Help
sometimes if one person answers then others dont, but i am not the best person to actually answer this so hoping some more experienced enviro artist might chime in. I just saw that there is some missing information might be helpful to have for the question. I can only make a few general suggestions: since this is mostly… -
Re: Modern Light Machine Gun feedback
I think your bakes/normals are suffering hardcore. There's artifacting/harsh edges on almost all edges of a uv seam. Consider splitting your material up for more texel density, and really abuse stacking/overlapping uvs to gain more resolution. Share your UV sheets too, I feel like almost nothing was straightened -
Re: 3dsMax 2021.2 Smart Extrude
I won't say anything about MCG at this moment. You could find out about things going on if you look at the roadmap or join beta. For DCM, we are still developing it. We added additional channels that it can digest recently with the edge weights and edge depth. -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #12 - February
Initially there were no smoothing groups (hard edges) and that's what gave me the dark areas on the ouput normal map. Once I added a hard edge to the meshes that got rid of that error. I'll have to experiment a bit more with it and see if I can narrow down the problem. -
Re: WIP - Steampunk Sniper Rifle
Well then you got me. From my knowledge edge padding will bleed into other shells which causes issues. I guess there are ways to get normal maps to render properly without edge padding, or at least vary little. I am not aware how though. -
Re: Maxscript - How to get alpha from bitmap?
Just to doublecheck since you included the Edge icon in the example code, you want to use a different, custom file with alpha, right? Otherwise, you could just use button theButton "btn" pos:[25,29] width:24 height:24 iconName:"Common\Edge" -
Re: [3ds max] Can't unwrap cylindral shaped object
UV editor window, on the right side under "Reshape Elements" click "Straighten Selection". It should straighten all of the edges and get rid of the slight bowing. You can also select individual edges and use the "Align Horiz/Vertical in place" inside of Quick Transform tools. -
Re: Screen Space Fresnel Reflections-UDK
Do you have problems with the scene texture being clamped in the 0-1 space (and therefore resulting in black borders) when the model's edges are near the edges of the screen? I'm asking this because I whipped up a similar shader myself yesterday and had some problem with it.
