The Littlest Target Trouble Rengar had watched the lone Yordle girl gather fallen acorns off the ground from the always perfect cover of tall grass, contemplating what it was about her that irritated him the most. Perhaps it was her incessant, tuneless humming, which had made it far too easy for the hyper alert hunter to…
Hi, I would like to know a bit about Face Rigging vs using Morphs. We are a small studio but we want to add the features of Facial expressions movement. We focus on getting atleast 10-12 expressions on the face. So would it be worth to setup Rigging or can we get away with Morphs using Zbrush? MoCap is still under…
I'm not entirely faminiar with this paricular topic, but I would assume you would have a "talking" character state in your game. Then if you are in that state, you can tell your anim blueprint to blend. Or in your material, if you are driving morph targets. A few. If you need wrinkle maps, then you will also need to scale…
I am reading a book called Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right By Jason Osipa and in the book he creates his blend shapes using both sides of the face at the same time and then after creating his set, he uses this plugin for maya called xyWeightedBlend.mll to create two different blend shapes (one that…
I was thinking about how advance games (as well as CG in general) has gotten. But even with these advances, games still aren't close to photorealism. Look at any old black and white photo and it still looks better than games. Of course, it's not the lack of color that makes it real, but the most accurate lighting…
Cheers thx for that, explains position of those tracks so assume legs deploy in a kinda storage position to enable travel over uneven soft ground. "Unfortunately I don't think the texturing is working very well to communicate that as I was very rushed doing it(even the pistons are completely rusted)." These 80lvl articles…
We can transfer normals, weight them, and that's already super cool ! haven't you answered your own question? ..... it's not painting the normals as such but you could create a "coarse" mesh, cage as it were, and use that with "transfer normals" to perturb the normal on the target mesh ?
Welcome to Polycount! The best thing for you would probably be for you to make a new Topic in 3D Art Showcase & Critiques and put your reference images, plus post your current 3d model effort. People could give you targeted feedback there, and you could post new screenshots of the improved model for more feedback, rinse…
(Photos courtesy of Gemini) The PitchI'm a solo dev building Iron Wake, a 1v1 hard sci-fi capital ship combat game in Godot 4.x. The core gameplay loop, UI, and Newtonian physics are already coded in and playable using programmer-art greyboxes.I need a hard surface artist to step in and replace those greyboxes so I can…
