Re: hand topology for animation
i mainly want to apply for models for animation jobs, not video games. not saying i dont want to work on game characters but in this particular model im aiming for cinematics. -
hand topology for animation
hi everyone when i sculpted this hand i did a quick retopo in order to have a cleaner model and now that im cleaning everything up for baking and texturing i wanted to ask you if this is a good topology for animation in stylized characters, what do you guys think? many thanks in advance! -
Re: hand topology for animation
Some good ref here (good ref for articulation and topology for the rest of the body as well): http://www.hippydrome.com/ModelingHand.html -
Re: hand topology for animation
In this case, you might want to look for a simplier topology. You should try and minimize the number of non-standard vertex and get rid of triangles since once you apply CatmullClark, each triangle will generate one more non-standard vertex in it's center. If you have too many of those too close to each other, your… -
Re: hand topology for animation
Much better! You could easely simplify the palm topology further by doing like in the example below: This would reduce the number of poles by two, making that area less likely to become lumpy. Also, for offline rendering, I think you would have better keeping the topology of the fingernails. -
Re: hand topology for animation
what do you think of this one? is it better? -
Re: hand topology for animation
No problem :) -
Re: hand topology for animation
wow man thank you very much for all this! im on it :) -
Re: hand topology for animation
Hi, it depends: are you making a game character or will it be rendered using an offline renderer? Either way, I think your topology would do an ok job with deformations but I think it could be optimized one way or the other for your specific case.
