The ergonomics thread
Hey all I thought it would be nice to have a thread here where we could compile useful links related to ergonomics, workstation posture, and human interface devices. Simply put : the anti-RSI thread! New gadgets or ideas would still get their own threads (like the Arsh new setup post, or discussions about new mice and… -
Re: Shadow of the Colossus was ahead of its time
Thanks alot even Eric though I've read this thing plenty of time already :D . They did an outstanding job for the fur if you ask me. Though, there isn't many detail about the animation except their use of the IK solvers. -
Re: Which Motion Capture System to Buy?
I think, the difference between Ipisoft and recording Kinect motions streamed into Mobu is, that the latter uses the realtime motion provided by the SDK, while Ipisoft has its own solver, which doesnt work in realtime, but the results are much cleaner from my short experience -
Re: Help with 3dsmax mechanical rigging?
I would also advise using CatRig instead of the pretty old IK solvers that ship with Max. CatRig is a hybrid FK/IK system and also has a layers features that would work well for turning on/off different anims like your landing gear. -
ZBrush's IMM brushes and micro meshes
I'm trying to make a fairly complex IMM brush that includes micromeshed geo. In my first test I had a decent amount of micromesh and the brush didn't repeat the center at all. In my second test, with a small sliver of micromeshing, the verts are welding weird. -
Re: (IK Chains, 3DS) Rigging and Posing Robotic Limbs
You can use Rotational Joints to limit the axis of rotation for an HI Ik Solver. It's the IK tab of the Hierarchy Panel. http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/files/GUID-74BF337B-CABA-4693-87D4-41D3D9D85FBD.htm -
Re: Archi Project
He is? How cool is that, has he got anything online? The briefing for this project was to create a small public building, an exhibition place. It's located on a ring in the middle of the river which is a dump for river wastage. Like that... A major point when building this was it had to be sustainable, as it also has no… -
Re: Light, Shadow, and Specularity
My bike does this. Its just a small sliver of light, above the headlight cut out for the front faring. Does not really bother me. My guess would be to buy some blacked out tape and cover it, though that would not really be that attractive. -
Re: Image Based Lighting
The "array of lights" will work. Before global illumination/ radiosity solvers became available that was the way to do it. But then it's not IBl it's just a lot of light calculations.. Which totally loses the advantage of IBl bring a quick texture fetch. However in a totally differed lighting renderer, that could be a more… -
Re: Learning Maya's Animation System
Let's see here. Off the top of my head: [ QUOTE ] First there is orientation alignment of bones. When you have for example three bones in the forearm (one for the elbow, two for the twist) you want them to be perfectly aligned. In max you could simply select a clild of the elbow and align it to the parent's orientation.…
