How to do Cutting Animations and States?
Hi there, For a while I've been interested in how games like Fruit Ninja and Metal Gear Rising Revengence performed the act of cutting things in half, showing the inner part of the 3D model and spliting it into two or more meshes. I've tried looking it up and haven't exactly found much in the way of how to do it either in… -
Re: Noob Learning Challenge, Dark Aribeth (NSFW)
29. Posing: CAT in 3ds Max Ive found CAT to be a very accessible and useful tool, so Ill share some of the process with you. Ill keep it short and sweet as not everyone uses 3ds Max. CAT can be found in the Create toolbar, inside Helpers, under the sub menu of Cat Objects. If you select CATParent and Base… -
Re: How to convert CAD file to game ready models
Aside from manual modeling in Maya/Max/Modo/Blender, PiXYZ is a newer option purpose built for just this. It's a procedural tool for turning CAD surfaces into optimized polygon meshes. It's very good for what it does, though I still find myself needing to do bits and pieces of manual cleanup. You can also use Simplygon in… -
Re: looking for an old car design game from the 80's
Detroit? Might not be the same one, since Detroit was from '94. Sounds nearly identical though... I loved that game. Keep wanting to remake it, but with more customizable parts, and in 3d. You could run marketing campaigns for your cars, you had to target the right markets for the kind of car you were making, in order to… -
Re: Washing Machine Part
@Veer_P An interesting shape, they're typically fiddly to model in polygonal subd that are usually fabricated using an extruded die cast mould' and also CAD designed, hence indeed a challenge so my approach would be as if modeling a car body shell of some sort with a Shrinkwrap Modifier. Because there's a similarity in… -
Re: How can I improve on skills when it comes to drawing landscapes, seascapes etc.
Hi Trill, it's great that you're tackling this head on, keep it up man. As someone who didn't start out painting environments and now loves painting them I can relate. Your sketches look fine for getting a general sense of the space and what's going on in the frame. Aside from doing paintings of your own ideas, do studies… -
Normal map acting weird
Hello! I'm quite new and I have the feeling I'm making a stupid mistake... I'm creating my own textures in Substance Designer, then I apply that texture in Substance Painter to put it onto a 3D model in Unity. When creating the texture the normal map looks fine, as you can see on the picture below. I also make sure to set… -
Re: Customizing Maya - Can I do...?
I can understand your frustration. Switching apps always has teething problems. 1) Goto Window > Settings/Preferences > Preferences > Camera category > Change 'Total time' to 0.2 or 0 if you really hate it. 2) As far as I know this is hard coded into Maya and can't be changed (someone correct me if I'm wrong) 3) Yes - just… -
Car mechanics Blueprint doubts (UNREAL)

I have managed to make the platform move behind the car and now I want to spawn some buildings next to this platform and I want them to move behind with the main platform as well. Some of the Issues/ doubts the I have are mentioned below 1- I want the meshes to avoid any… -
Re: (Solved) Maya Multi-Cut, what's wrong with you (or me)?
If you're struggling with the Multi-Cut tool (which I hear from people all the time), you can always revert back to the much simpler Split Polygon Tool. In the script editor just type: SplitPolygonTool and press Enter on the Num Pad. You can throw this command on a shelf too if you prefer it over the new one. I usually…
