Re: 3ds max constraints
You can try rigging tank tracks with bones which will give you rigid tracks. Quite a bit of work but he covers some wire parameters to help automate the animation, pretty cool stuff. http://www.3dluvr.com/content/article/136/1 You might want to switch the spline IK on the main arm to a IK limb solver and use bones, it will… -
Re: Metal Making
[ QUOTE ] so i should try adding blues/ orangish browns for my highlights? and then add a color for shadows? [/ QUOTE ] Whatever's appropriate, really. If the model's intended to be outdoors, mostly, a blue base color would make sense. In Quake style hallways, yellows and oranges for highlights will fit in well, and so on.… -
Re: Post your first normal-mapped asset.
i think i did a nokia mobile phone (the one i had at the time - easy reference!) as a first test, i think i also wrote a tutorial accompanying it on CGChat, but since cgchat died i can't find the images anymore :( -
Re: Fake Eye Refraction for Viewport.
Very nice shaders!, Thanks!, the threads have given me some ideas but now that I see them, I think your shaders are a much better option than this geometry only route. Still though, my ATI card disagrees with almost all HLSL/CGFX shaders....I don't know if the eye shader will work for me, I guess I should test it. -
Re: Maya to Max Dictionary
Oh and btw I think I found what I was looking for. A combination of the link above from EricChadwick and the script I found by running a search on cgtalk max forums like arshlevon suggested should do the trick. The script is a joystick manipulator that is exactly the kind of slider I need for this set up. Thanks again guys. -
Re: Building an environment - Evil Genius hidden forest base
MEGA REPLY POST Generated for the diffuse on these ones. DecoLayer in the terrain tool, with the density increased to my liking. I found the information I needed on Hourences site, which is linked in my OP on page 1. Same way I created the terrain textures. I found ones I liked online (CGTextures.com), painted colours in… -
Re: how do I model the blade of a sword?
Browse this sticky, it'll probably help. Just have the confidence to try new methods and the humility to rework something until you get it right. Look for the "CGChain Fundamentals" videos, probably somewhere in that thread - once you understand the basic principles of subd / poly modeling, you'll see it's only a matter of… -

Re: Maya 2011: UI color
Prophecies: As far as I can tell they have not included any customisation options, which is quite strange. After looking through various threads on CGSociety and other places, it seems like the QT framework supports "themes" (as shown here), but apparently this theme support is currently broken in Maya (not sure why). I… -
Re: First time poster
Yeah I can honestly say that if I had to do it over again I would have just gone to a cheap as hell community college. Taking art courses for drawing and designs. Maybe some architectural type stuff and then just sat on the forums and purchased a few books. The only thing I did get from school was a lot of connections…
