Re: 3DS Max 2013 Biped problem
1) That's weird. 2) You can only scale bones in figure mode and even then its not really scaling, just repositioning joints. 3) You can only move the ends of limbs (feet and hands) and the Center of Mass, trying to move other joints is kind of pointless. 4) Your pivot gizmo should be set to local and "Use Pivot Point… -
Re: Row boat key bones config?
If you're doing just one oar as an instanced, animated mesh then you'll need one bone. The pivot should be where the oar pivots (where it touches the ship, generally) and it will point in one direction. Attach all verts to that one oar. e.g. If you want a whole system, you can make one parent bone for the ship and a bone… -
Introducing Viewly - ad-free platform built for higher end creators
Hi guys, Full Disclosure - I'm head of marketing at Viewly currently but I've been lurking here since my gamedev student days :) I wanted to introduce you guys to what we are building, which is a blockchain based video platform for higher end content. In particular we want to fix the injustice of someone who spends an… -
Re: Rigging thread, post your problems or solutions
Thanks Denny :icon60: You wouldn't happen to know of any intuitive ways to setup the pivot points on the foot, would you? I've done the classic reverse foot-roll setup. Though, I'm wondering if there are better ways to go about it edit:: Found an interesting Pivot Switching Method using nodes [vv]72768474[/vv] and another… -
Re: isometric camera help.
I usually do it like this 1 : Draw target camera on the grid , the target at zero and the camera moved +50 on x axis. 2 : Group both 3 : Got to the group properties, click the 'affect pivot only' button, then move the pivot to 0,0,0 on the world origin (where the target is) 4 : Click the rotate tool, and deselect the… -
Re: Your brain is right
She's spinning counterclockwise and I have science to prove it. Check out the thighs when the two legs intersect, there's a faint white silhouette around the pivoting thigh (bad poser render or something). The silhouette makes it look like the pivoting leg is in front of the extended one when passing and it only makes… -
Re: Automatically centering meshes to origin?
You could probably automate the move to origin and the placement of the pivot point through some simple scripting. If you're a 3dsmax user. I wrote a simple script that moves the object to the world origin and puts the pivot point in the lowest center point. Feel free to use the "pivot to world zero" script if it works for… -
Re: i have never finished a character model.
I didn't mean that bones are bad or anything like that. I meant the downside for me being I'm not good with rigging. I have actually run many different rigging experiments to see what i could manage. I've messed with placing pivot points in a zig zag pattern near the surfaces of the model (pretty good results that seem to… -
Re: Arm Joint position
Ok.. I guess it can help others. (me) [ QUOTE ] Understood I think. That was impressed into me for the classes I took, but I guess Im not making the correlation to 3d as well with it? Because from what I understand, the clavicle and humerus/upper arm bone use the same pivot in a 3d model, while in a human body, they are… -
Re: UV mapping gizmo warping
What I meant was that if you rotate a primitive, you will also rotate the pivot. This is the reason why the gizmo gets unproportional and skewed. (It's ok if its rotated 90 degrees) To fix this, create a new primitive like a box, then attach the model to the box (or box to the model? you'll see whats the right one). Thus…
