Re: Pyxis' Art Dump
Ahh, I see now! Thanks DWalker. Hookay, so I've started polypainting since time constraints required it. I also have hopefully fixed up the front leg a bit (I found this picture of a housecat's leg/paw as reference because I imagined him as more feline in the front legs). -
Re: Creating clothes with bones for game engine
Thank you for the reply which has erased my doubts, as i thought that should be that way of creating. So the next step after making those tails will be assinging a constraints to them ? In this case i need few more tips: how to prevent bone strecthing in the chain ? Is massFX tool in 3ds max good for that ? -
Re: skinweighting buttons etc in maya
its for a personal project, just messing about really JohnnyRaptor, suffice to say I would like need to keep the extra bits as is. I wonder if some kind of point constraint might work or maybe the extra elements stretching a little won't be a big deal. skinwrap may just be the best option though -
Re: Next Gen Character Development in Regards to Animation and Motion Capture.
The method i used was to create a nurbs plane that has 3 cluster groups, 2 are at the muscles connection points the other is in the center. The connection clusters are parents to the joints that will affect the muscle. I made a distance tool and parents the locators to the connection clusters. The using the node editor i… -
Re: How much could be automated in the future?
@Neox You talk of "50% jobs in the west" being at stake. But jobs aren't static at all. The jobs we have are only a secondary dynamic, arising from the material conditions that happen to exist at the moment. The resources of the present constrain the jobs that people do in the present. Nobody made game art in 782 AD,… -
Re: Will we ever get rid of Gimbal lock?
Just a few things you can do to minimize gimbal lock. Freeze Transforms on your animation controllers in the bind pose. Constrained objects don't matter, just objects you intend to keyframe. If your animation's starting pose is very different from the bind pose, then immediately create an animation layer to animate on. (At… -
Re: Magitek Armor (WIP)
Been working on my demo reel - neglected Mr. Magitek the past couple days, but I did manage to get "some firebeamin'!!" Although really cool back in the day, the effect for Fire Beam does seem a bit limited as far as what the SNES hardware could pull off - I tried to keep the same effect, but with a more updated look in… -
Re: Noob Biped Question (Max8)
I think Techno is saying that, he needs the hinge joint at the knee to behave like a ball and socket joint, at least temporarily, so he can 'bowleg' the foot outwards (to create quite a crook in the knee), then bend it according to a certain rotation axis (do you want to rotate it straight horizontal, or is the rotation… -
Re: 3DS max animated object moving along a spline
For looping the idle, look into Out-of-Range Types http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-0452F206-6025-440F-92A3-823892368B63 For the path, you could assign the root of the character to a Path Constraint http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-10AC3D82-523D-4670-8240-D6E3AC79F0BF -
Re: rounded edge on large building
Maybe they require some kind of tile set constraints which make it easier / faster / no gaps / etc. if there are no actual rounded edges. Or netcode / network occlusion stuff requires there are perfect predictable edges where you can't peek around some slightly beveled edge.. Or it's not a bevel Or it could be magic.. <- I…
