Re: maya: cleaning double sided polys?
Here's a bit of a hacky way to do it. Select your merged hair object, copy uvs to a new set (createUVs>Copy to new UV set). In the UV window make sure you have the second set of UVs selected for the object. Now still in the uv window hit layout, with the options set to non overlapping and "flip reversed" unchecked. Now go… -
Re: Portfolio-stuART_3dee
Dude, you got a nice stuff going on there! But for the website itself, I suggest you reduce the empty space that you have at the top, its way taking much space and when I view on my laptop, the title sits at the middle of the screen already, and your works all "bellow the fold" (aka need too scroll down in order to see the… -
Re: Dark Tunnel
Thanks for the compliments every body :) @Marisa: That's a really good idea, I'll add some colour in soon. For now, I wanted to make a little environment for the tunnel to connect to, so I started playing around with some ideas in Maya and eventually drew a (very) rough layout of what I want to do. Sorry for my atrocious… -
Re: How to model this pattern in Maya/Zbrush
@3DShaq Base Shape Start with an 8 sided cylinder. Set the radius to 0.5. And extrude it towards center. Also rotate it by 22.5 deg. Use these grid options. It will make it easy to manipulate it. Layout pattern like this. One tip: Start from top. You will figure it out easily. Hold X while using move tool and it will snap… -
Re: Normal map shading error based on camera angle
Once you figure out the normal map issue, you need to address that UV layout. Straighten out those long flat pieces, they will pack so much better and the texture will be built with solid strips of pixels instead of jagged aliased, diagonal lines. It should give you enough space to give some of the smaller parts more space… -
Re: Mari and Modo Indie available now on Steam
[ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXZTeqzJmA4"]Texture Transfer - MARI 2.6 - YouTube[/ame] This is a quick video showing the texture transfer function in Mari. This will work whatever your source and output UV layout is. One of the really cool things is that it will transfer all of the layers of your paint, not just… -
Re: 3dsmax 2018, I am afraid Max demise will accelerate.
Probably not many animators here, but Motion Path's is a pretty big deal for me. I've been using 2018 for a few months and I rarely open the Curve Editor. It doesn't support frozen transform, but all my rigs have dynamic parenting so I just parent constraint to an unfrozen object. The UI got so much work done. I just wish… -
Re: Age of Blood | Aether Control Room Environment
No problem, you should definetely study lighting and how it is used to convey feelings and support composition. There are a lot of great examples from paintings and movies. You'll be surprised how much is actually not lit at all or very dim. Its probably the second most important thing after a good layout. Scrap all the… -
Re: [WIP] Witcher-inspired armor for Skyrim
@sargentcrunch I do plan on creating leggings and boots. I will just make it up as I go when I get to that part. I might not include a skinny variation (one mesh cloned to _0 and _1). If it looks odd shunk down, I won't. Otherwise, I will. I don't think many people play very skinny male characters anyway. WIP01 - 3ds max… -
Re: To learn Houdini, or not to learn Houdini
Hm... It's not nearly as good as the Lynda.com one. He really rushes through things and glosses over stuff due to the length, and uses some Houdini jargon without explaining what it means. It was pretty difficult to follow. He was actually kind of stumbling around at points, like he was trying to rush through it so…
