Re: My Rigged Model is Going Crazy!!
From your screenshot, it appears that you're translating the knee joint in space rather than rotating the joints. Thats why the area of the model skinned to the first leg joint is still pointing downward (rather than toward the knee) as it hasn't actually rotated. Also you seem to have weighted too much of the upper leg to… -
Re: [Portfolio] Zack Fowler, Environment Artist
Hi Zack. Really like the site, nice and easy to navigate and you have some quality pieces there. You say your an environment artist? From your site I would have second thoughts about that. Not that any of your work is sub-par, but (as alexK said) you have a few odds and ends up front. I'd suggest maybe a bit of a… -
Re: Max or Maya?
I have a few things to add to this. Bones, IK, constraints, script controllers all the same. Max may have biped but there is also PuppetShop which is free. To get anything even close for Maya you're left with The Setup Machine which is pretty decent, but costs, and isn't nearly as robust as biped let alone PuppetShop. I'd… -
Castle Storm - Character Art Dump (Diffuse only, Hand Painted)
Hey guys! Thought I'd share some of the characters from game Chastle Storm that I also worked during last few years. Basically this project was the 1st where I needed to create hand painted, cartoony textures starting with zero xp in it. So there is a diversity in quality (it was ~2 years of improvement). These are just a… -
Mel issue: joints don't orient right.
I'm writing a code to make the CGToolkit's art of rigging arm in MEL. It was going just fine. I got my IK/FK switch set up, had the elbows constrained, and the wrist working quite easily. Then I moved on to the right arm, and here's what I got: ($armSideLong = "right" and $armSide = "r_") The right arm is broken at the… -
[Maya Melscript GUI] - Displaying Text in a GUI Window?
Hi, I've created a simple Window GUI with one Button. When the button is pressed, I'd like it to display the name of the object I've selected in maya, in a textfield within the GUI window. The text would be used as a confirmation that the user has selected that particular Object in the scene. The Button function is called… -
Maya rigging issue
My friend has this problem when rigging a character by using the rig from an online tutorial. The picture below is what happened when she tried to 'create control rig' in human IK and she already binds the skin roughly by using 'bind skin' tool. it's not how I usually bind skin to a character, I normally binding skin after… -
Exporting out Armature/Bones
Hi I'm struggling to figure out how to correctly export armature/bones out into UE4/5 from 3ds Max. Rigging/animating isn't something I'm fully versed in. I've set up rigs and done a bit of animating before, in Max, Maya and Blender, but I don't think I've exported out full animations into Unreal before. And certainly not… -
Change rig after animation has already started?
Hi ppl, I just wonder what solutions there might be out there to solve this case, if you wanna change a character rig (esp. mgear rig) after the animation has already started and animators have already produced animations that you don't want to put in the trash bin... Since (as far as I know) iterative work is quite… -
Re: Body Mechanics test. Would appreciate any critique
The actual liftoff and kick look pretty good. That run up is a little stilted, is that posed and timed out from a reference? I'd say that every step has to be treated with weight and solid contacts and each one builds up until you're believably having the character jump. Maybe you need to take out a few steps that aren't…
