Re: Maya: Rigging skin problems
There are a couple things that could be happening here. First, the vertices in that area are simply assigned to the wrong joint. You would want the verts that make up the torso to be weighted to (influenced by) the spine joints. If the verts are weighted to the arm joint--which is a common occurrence with automatic smooth… -
Re: 3 day 3D intro seminar
I would definitely not try to teach uv mapping in a 50 minute class of 3d newbies. Nothing wrong with showing them UVs and explaining briefly how they work. I think you've got a good idea for the first day. 50 minutes is a good amount of time to do an overview of the process... all the different types of disciplines from… -
Re: MMO Character Face Customization Pipeline
I tend to find that Morph targets tend to work best, since faces require that extra 'precision' that bones could give, but will be messier. It's all about settings up your base mesh as your starting point, making a copy of it, and putting up some big values for cheeks, nose, etc and then exposing the slider and how much… -
Re: Hand-painted Wells
Also, there is something very important about using non-square tiling textures. When you first do your UV projections, Maya / Max will do its best to project the face with a 1:1 ratio of the face to its UVs.... meaning a square face on a cube = square UV shell. With textures that have a 2:1 or 4:1 or 1:2 1:4 ratio (like… -
Re: Low Polygon Joints - What is the best way?
Here are two examples of Ancient Pig's joint. The regular joint he shows on the left, and on the right a little more geometry and well placed edges to control deformation. No need to destroy your loops by turning the quads into triangles, just make sure the invisible edges are facing the right directions. I created them… -
Re: Help me to become a better 3D artist! :)
Took part in a 3 day game jam this week, basically a few local developers get togther and try to have a game together within the 3 day time limit. Day 1 was idea day, day 2 I had to model, unwrap, and texture this model and day 3 I rig and import the model into Unity. Obviously with only a day to make a model from scratch… -
Re: My profolio site.
Yeah thats the problem with webheads they tell you frames are evil then give you 50-100 lines of code to make it work "better" ha ha ha ha. The only problem is its 50-100 lines of gibberish to me =P Honestly I couldn't give a rats ass what the best "code" is to use. It worked, I got a job and I'm back to making art with… -
Looking for 3D artist to collaborate on making modular buildings pack-ALMOST FINISHED
Hey all. So im a 3D modeler, with quite OK modelling skills, however i cant do textures. That is why i need someone to make high quality PBR textures. I tried to learn using substance designer, but it just has such steep learning curve that i'd rather partner with someone who can do textures well and split 50/50 profits… -
UE4 for Visualisation. Ideas and Processes
Hey guys I'm in my first job as a full time Visualisation Artist using 3DSMAX & Vray. I started very amateur however I'm getting a lot better. I want to switch over to using UE4 visualisation exclusively for 3 reasons; 1) UE4 is faster. It takes longer to set up the scene, but once it is set up you can have videos and… -
Sharkman - ms3d feb2k5 contest entry
The contest is over so here's my contest entry for the ms3d feb2k5 contest. Texture maps are 50/50 photohacking and original artwork. I did this in 12 hours total, which is really fast for me as this is only my third completed character model. Renders are made in Pov-Ray. Wish I'd figured out how to make a good specular…
