Re: Newish to modeling, need tips
Fricken awesome dude! Thank you. They helps a lot! Ok, i got an arm by making a 6 sided cylinder and extruding and stretching it. It looks decent, and i don't need all the muscles and stuff, since not only is this a nerd, he is wearing a t-shirt, so all you really see is a little of the bicep. -
Re: Who uses booleans?
I havent used booleans in 3-4 years? - I dont like the workflow and often the results. When using with Rhino or Nurbs its a whole different story then its basicly as common as lets say extruding in polygon modeling. But for polygon modeling I would say it could be as well as ditched in most cases -
Re: Split poly tool settings in Maya
correction, smooth edges out of split poly tool, not extrude edge! i'd love a modification to split poly like that, which is why i'm being particular. i think the weight colors might be native to maya's code, so no amount of MEL digging will reveal anything. on the other hand for split poly it might. -
Re: Messed Up the Workflow, any advice to correct mistake?
Have you weight painted already? Because if you don't, I don't see why you can't replace de model. In case you have already done it, then try just to extrude inwards the earhole and then correct WP in that area. Sometimes it bugs, in this case extract a displacement map, paint in Photoshop the earhole depth and then… -
Re: The Monthly 'Noob' Character Challenge (01/14)
Mossbros: I started with a dynamesh sphere, shaped the head and ears, then I extruded the neck out with a mask and the move tool. I kept all the way down the body then just made sure I tweaked out my proportions as I worked. The cloth is masks that I extracted. The earring was a bit of dynamesh subtract (very similar to… -
Re: Zbrush noob question (cutting geo or repair holes)
The waviness is caused by super dense geometry. And depending on what you mean by "masked out from the original model", this could be very hard to fix using this particular model. I imagine the shape you want to create is simple enough, so I would use the Tool: Initialize menu to turn it into a QCube, and then use the… -
Re: Is there an alternative to using Booleans in Maya
My suggestion is try not to use booleans EVER. They are just too unstable, causing weird un fixable problems down the line. There is always a way in Maya to model something without using a boolean. Try deleting a polygon, and build a hole from that by repositioning verticies. It's slow and tedious but you will have more… -
Re: maya bevel tool issue - interactivity
@haiddasalami was having a few problems getting draggerContext working under python, so just dropped this as a little quickie for him to use than i will sort out draggerContext when i got more time. also ya the popup thing for extrude i really got no clue how it works, but i guess it would be possible to use hudSlider to… -
Re: Handheld envrioment
Texturinmy needs alot of work it seems that alot of it are different scales and sizes and gives an unrealistic effect, one thing to remember handheld games can take alot more polys, most of the performance will. Be from memory I'd try and work with more polys for example the door with brick could be extruded and modular… -
Re: [WIP] District 9 inspired weapon
again, a lot of the metal looks like stone, you need to have some more vivid specular. Material definition is what it's all about. And I wasn't talking about the big parts of the gun being blocky, but the fact that not of the small stuff was modeling in, but rather normal mapped. You could try extruding a few of those…
