Valve have been making short films for 5~ years now... Please help me out here man. And incase you want to be pedantic, short films are the sort of things animation students will put out from places like gobelins so by extension id consider that an acceptable means of experimenting with the craft of movie making. Find me a…
Pulling this thing out from the depths of forum hell. *dumpdumpdump* Finally got around to finishing the textures on the fairy. Female head. She's got some morph targets for lipsyncing and putting into silly poses. Final project for school. The litter collecting robot mistakes the girl's stuffed animal for trash and tries…
It's entirely possible to learn all your art in 3d, but do you really want to? It can be frustrating but putting pencil to paper just has the benefit of being the fastest and simplest medium. You'll learn far more in a day of drawing page after page of figures from life than tweaking and detailing a single model. Even if…
Hello, we are looking for an artist to do some static or animated 3D meshes for our new game TombClimber 2 :-) It will be a shareware game, if we earn something, we will split the money. Here a link to the old 2D game, we want to do all again but in 3D now: http://magicstorm.de/?E[game]=8&E[lang]=0 The new game is already…
Extrude along a curve is easy. Try Senca's Extrude Along Edge Path script extrudePath.pl More scripts LOL!, but seriously this guy pretty much found out all the fast ways to do many common tasks in Modo and scripted them already. It would probably be worth your time to take a night and go through them to see what you can…
Hey man, great initiative on show here. You picked a hard concept to match. It's got anime styled proportions, and if you don't have your normal anatomy fundamentals down pat you will probably run into some issues making it work, and i think that is evident here. I would highly recommend this website when looking at your…
Thanks. I appreciate the food for thought c: Maybe I won't have the space inbetween. I just hope that wouldn't create some odd warping if he's posed. I wish I knew zbrush, that would help. I'm guessing that's what people mean when they mention 'sculpting'. I suppose I would just be modeling him in Maya and that's all for…
So I take it you've decompiled the models and you have a bunch of SMD files? The majority of those files are animations that do not contain a mesh. There is one reference SMD that contains the mesh. That's the one you want to locate and import. I've also decompiled all of the TF2 character models and textures, then saved…
Yeah obviously i can see that the last effect ( the one i was after) dosnt really work with dynamic particles. but its qute the nice effect if you get it to animate properly. In a article from bungine i read up on some alternatives to this effect, i think a combination of the two would be the best. Anyhow thanks for the…
