Hey Guys, I'm creating a collapsing ceiling for a project using mass FX the simulation ran fine, baked out fine and played fine a few times, once I moved the keys to the point in the timeline that I need them to play however, the baked out animation does not play at all. Anyone else have this issue or know if there is…
Sure thing. I will update the info today with a better description. There is a picture to show the end result and final material network. Ill share it again here. It will show all of the basics of material editing, understanding what a master material is and how to use material instances with it. I create a base color hue…
Is lazy mouse not enough? you could also try to create UV for your mesh, export it out of Zbrush (or the app you created Uv in), then create a mask in photoshop that will follow exactly the curve. You could also do a mask that directly represent the pattern in photoshop. Then just import the mask as an alpha in Zbrush and…
Hi All, I recreated a scene from Mass Effect 3. It is currently only high poly objects. After discovering that this entire scene was created using tileable UV strips, I'm uncertain if I will progress forward or try an alternate approach. All comments and criticisms are welcome! REFERENCE/CONCEPT: HS Study: Feedback is…
I finally finished my version of Mordin. It started as a zbrush practice to see how much I could accomplished using only Zbrush for modeling in 8 hours (that was 2010 or 2011, if I recall...), I chose Mordin because it was the only character I couldn't save when I played Mass Effect 2 and also because I loved the character…
Hello everyone. I'm 22 years old and I'm trying to start a career in 3D. I am diagnosed with asperger syndrome and anxiety and would like to know the time taken or given to complete a task. For example, the time to create a tiled texture, character in Zbrush -- model, uv map and create textures for props -- hand animations…
I think the problem with this is that in my opinion it does not read as a "Mass Effect" scene. The second area looks more like Mustafar from Star Wars III. I felt that the robots were out of place. They didn't fit the aesthetic of Mass Effect. I felt that the second robot looked like it was based off of the robots from…
Is it possible to make sure the my mouse cursor is at the center of marking menu when I hold right mouse button? ie. at the red circle, not at the yellow ellipse. Maya doesn't seem to be smart enough to reposition its dropdown menu based on my mouse position (eg. when my cursor is close to edge of screen)?
So, the reason why you want to use your greyscale layer as luminosity and have it set to the very top is a luminosity layer will take the values of that layer and apply them to every layer below. Lets say you have a base layer of 50% midtone grey and want to paint part of it red with a multiply layer. Doing a full 100%…
