Re: in-game character customisation set-up
The system we used was based on a set of major nodes, feet, hands, pelvis, neck and head where anything in between is largely irrelevant. The system would play an animation file on these major nodes in an FK kind of fashion and while doing that would generate ik chains to drive the inbetween bits. on top of that it'd use… -
Re: Character Rigging Industry Entrrance Standard?
Im actually kind of in the same boat as you. I got my foot in the door as an animator, and have taken a liking to rigging, so ive been doing more and more at work, but im more of a generalist. Ive been looking into what i need to get a job as a full time rigger somewhere. Definitely learn python, not mel. Mel is good to… -
Re: Bicycle Suggestions
i used to run MTB hardtails but nowadays i swear by cyclo cross bikes. they're pretty similar to regular road (racing) bikes but - can be built much lighter than any regular MTB hardtail - gearing can be similar/identical to MTB's, depending on your setup - you can get them with disc brakes or MTB-style mini v-brakes -… -
Re: How many actually bought there own 3D software?
If you have no money at all, you can use programs like Wings and Blender to learn 3d without spending a cent. They're remarkably capable and the artistic concepts will transfer from program to program. If you're a student and have no money, you can join Autodesk's student site and download free 6-month trials of 3ds Max… -
Re: Battlefield 4
No, because they are 2 separate games. I see you're at ubisoft... I wouldn't expect Assasin's Creed Black Flag to come with Last of Us, because they are simultaneously developed. They are 2 completely different entities. DLCs are not. They are content for the game. And you bring up exactly part of my point. When the DLC is… -
Re: How do you define medium poly versus low poly and how does your technique change?
There are countless of different approaches, for about as many different types of results. The highpoly to lowpoly baking workflow is one of them and has a huge range of applications, but as you noticed already it is quite technically involved and is not necessarily relevant to your needs. Your best bet for now is to focus… -
Re: My external HDD just got pwned.
last time I heard someone getting professional data recovery, they were only able to get about 50% of stuff off of it, not worth it when you can consider you could probably redo the work and it'll be better. pior: it doesn't matter if it's a high priced lacie drive or a pre packaged seagate or a standard desktop or laptop… -
Re: 3Ds Max Biped crash
I second using puppetshop from this point forward. There's no reason not to use it now that its free. It really is a great rig. They upgraded the biped linking in 2008-09 and its not nearly as problematic as it once was. But that won't help you now will it... Since you're running on a older version you might want to just… -
Re: A good starting point for low poly modelling?
Thanks for the reply Richard. I actually come from a graphic art background, so textures should be the easiest part of the process. I also have a graphic artist on board to do most of the texture work and character design etc. Someone else mentioned Wings 3D actually. Which sounds like it would be good for basic static… -
Re: maya mentalray final gather 3+ bounces possible?
ivars couldn't find anything about a portal light using the maya search? Is it a mentalgay shader? Glib are you using GI + FG and emitting photons from your sky and directional light, if not all that's happening by turning on GI is you are disabling secondary diffuse bounces. Sorry can't post the scene I'm lighting a large…
