Re: How do Americans reconcile the concept of bootstraps with being a nation of fatasses?
Well to be serious, I understand how being raised under parents who don't understand good nutrition, in a society that has very little personal mobility (drive everywhere) and giant portions of unhealthy food, how it's possible to be overweight unless you make a concerted effort, but I also understand how hard it is to… -

Re: Dreadnought Help ?
i would rig the tubes/pipes with a set of bones and link them to the parent (arm or torso or whatever) make an FK/IK switch and just animate the tubes swinging or bouncing around as if physics were applied by hand. I once tried this before with a character i made where the character had a compressor on his backpack and a… -
Re: Unrealistic Sales Goals
Yeah, that's what I thought as well. Tomb Raider is an awesome game- beautifully made. I'm so sick of playing games that are really impressive and you can tell the developers put a lot of love and time into them, but they don't meet some crazy sales figure, so layoffs are necessary (I really hope this isn't true for… -
Re: Fallout 3
I haven't had much time for the game with Halloween and all, last night I was wandering along trying to find the brother from that family with the dead parents, ran into my first super mutant! Out of nowhere he runs at me tossing a nade, then rushing me with a wood plank with nails. But I gibbed him with two grenades. Man… -
Re: Too many console versions
Yes and no. Consumers crying about price want more features at a cheaper price. Especially parents who don't understand the hardware differences and just want their kid to shut up for the lowest price. But it is also companies trying to rake in more cash by stripping down their full product, calling it basic and releasing… -
Re: Are we ignoring Asmuel?

I got a wicked computer chair from my parents in Polycount Green, cost as much as a car but when you sit in it you understand why. Feels like your sitting on a… -
First post...Lil Pup Mech
Here is my first post on Polycount. Ive started getting into modeling over the last year and now Ive decided that I should be a part of the community. For this mech I wanted to learn the process/pipeline of creating bakes from a high poly mesh to a low poly mesh. Basic process -Created basic mesh in Maya -imported it into… -
Setting bone weights in Maya for a robot
So usually if I'd rig a robot I'd parent the different parts (as mesh objects) to the bones. But for my school project we are using our own engine and supposedly it doesn't support having multiple meshes like that. The solution I guess is to skin the mesh to the bones but that'll cause a lot of trouble since there are many… -
Stupid ZSphere question
I'm using Image Plane 4 to add a reference image to my canvas. All I want to do is draw a straight line of ZSphere's down the length of my model. Every time I attempt this though, the additional sphere's never come in perfectly next to each other alone the same axis. They always come off slightly in front or warped in some…
