3dsmax: Character Studio FK/IK control in Blender?
Hey. I've picked up 3D again after many years and remember back in school we had licenses for 3D Studio Max. I'm using Blender now and don't miss 3dsmax except for the way IK and FK worked in Character Studio. Basically in CS you can create a biped (skeleton) in a couple of clicks with IK controls ready to go. If you grab… -
Re: Particles!!!
it's probably, because there is too much variation in the way particle systems work. take max's superspray and compare to particle flow, thinking particles..., completely different architectures. while a texture is always just some color values, or a mesh some vertices and index lists. the other thing is that particles in… -
10 Year + Veteran 2D Pixel artist/Sprite Animator available for paid work
I was the first pixel artist at Gameloft New York, where I handled all in-house art needs and helped procure several high profile licenses by rapidly making mock-up screens of potential licensed games on demand for the marketing staff. I was promoted quickly before moving on to Glu Mobile where I was the lead artist on… -
Boring! The repetiveness of modern games
Im finding games less and less enjoyable. 1.The repetition of themes between titles. 2. The idiotic hero stories with no character depth that only a 15 year old would enjoy (even though the game might carry a "M" rating-Hmm now I see why parents complain). 3. Mimicking hollywood stylings with cut scenes or other that take… -
Problem with Maya Beziers: new beziers' tangents all break by default
(I'm on Windows 7, Maya 2015 SP6) I have no idea when did this start, but recently all newly created beziers have their tangents broken by default. The creation tool worked properly (both the Bezier and the Curve-3 Bezier tools), but once the tool's completed, all the tangents break. Using the Smooth Tangents option on… -
Animating a spring
I have animated a spring contracting and expanding by creating a set of expressions/controllers. The pictures show my current progress. What I need to do now is set the spring up so that the first two coils and the last two coils stay together, while the remaining coils stretch appropriately. If I remember correctly, I… -

Re: How to have player change skins or weapons in a 3D game?
To change the clothes your character is wearing in-game just change the player model's material. You could perform this action on a button press. Just write a script with a public function, get a player reference, get the player's material renderer component, and then change the material to something else. For the weapon,… -
Re: What exactly is the consequence of Complex Collision in game design
Try stress-testing the physics system to understand tradeoffs. Make a simple container and drop 256 rigid bodies into it. Swap physics methods each time, from sphere up to per-triangle, and record framerates. We did this while developing a Wii game, and it was instructive. Mostly people here assume everyone's developing… -
Re: Is it just perfectionism?
Emo: Don't you just love my art!? Critic: meh, yea it's ok. Emo: WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET YOU TO LOVE MY ART!? Critic: Make better art. Emo: But what if I make mediocre art with my FEET and I have ADHD!? Critic: Then in the category of "ADHD foot artists" you would be in a class to yourself. Emo: FUCK YEA! I ROCK! I'm…
