Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
In fact when "repeating" the pattern in the three directions (120 segree "apart") and constraining onto the triangle like in case of pattern generation then the spherical projection does work and the "continuoes curves" does fit. Used the almost legaxy trick in blender to instance those pattern geometry on th faces of… -
Re: polyRetopo the secret maya node
Man, thanks for pointing out, this is a super helpful discovery! In turn, I can add that Maya also has a hidden remeshing mode, which turns any mesh into a uniformly tessellated triangular mesh - kinda like Sculptris Pro in ZBrush. Just select a mesh and execute this python code: <p>import maya.cmds as… -
Re: Have anyone figured out how new Curvature Smooth node works in Designer?
I (naively) assumed they'd done it properly Hacks like that explain why it breaks down under some circumstances edit: ok so I've had a look . Hopefully this helps with some of the weird bits The only variable they seem to be using is the builtin $sizelog2 -which is log2(pixel size of the input) == log2(512, 512) == (9, 9)… -
Re: Convenient ShaderFX alternative ???
It's not that I don't want to do anything with math at all. Imo old Max plugin just had a nicer balance. After all I don't want to code all those modern physical shaders with energy conservation etc on my own. I just want to make some specific layers blending , Z depth combine and texture animation and show it HLSL… -
Re: Question about the AO node and AmbientOcclusion in general
Material mode only allows you to plug outputs in coresponding outputs. Most nodes don't have a specific usage attached tot them, so it's not an issue, but the AO node has an AO usage to it, so it will only plug itself in an AO input or output node. On the bright side, that allows you to right-click drag and drop the node… -
Re: 4 or 6 core processor?
It really depends on what you do. With apps that are multi-thread well, many cores (as long as the sum performance of the cores is better) tend to be faster. Apps like xnormal or offline renderers like Modo and some others that can properly thread will tend to work better with more cores (assuming similar efficacy).… -
Re: Create a Luxury Napa Deli Interior | $500 Cash + Sponsor Prizes
Im sorry but this contest seems a lot like trying to get underpaid real estate archviz work from artists disguised as a contest. The judges include "A Digital Platform for Real Estate business that develops Software, Hardware, Digital Architecture, Marketing and Communications." ( on the website of TECMA solutions ) as… -
BOOK POST: Codex Seraphinianus reprint
Kind of a modern day Voynich Manuscript, the Codex Seraphinianus is getting a reprint on Oct. 29th. I only found out about this book in the last few months but I love weird stuff, maybe it's a mutation from too much Escher & Dali exposure as a child. The price isn't too shabby either:… -
Animation-Sharing compatible FaceRig
Hello guys. My question is software independent, technique based. So, If i were to have make an open world game and i make hundreds of people in my modelling software, and when things would come to make a face solution that can be compatible with sharing 1 animation across hundreds of models, and lets say i wanted to make…
