Re: CAT Capture Animation and MOCAP
Hi Silix, cheers for your reply, just installed and testing in Max2013 and this seems to be working fine now. I've been able to capture animation cleanly from a BIPED and load in BIP info into the CAT Base Human rig. About to try capturing directly from an FBX rig exported from vicon blade to see if I can sort my biped… -

Re: Getting into the Game Industry (Inspiration of a different kind)
I am new here, my first post, I've been an artist for a while now and I've been teaching myself 3d. I've been working with Blender but found what seems to be lots of opportunity using 3dsmax. So I thought I'd give it a try, I was looking for projects to work on and came across a Mixamo contest that I was thinking of… -
Re: Nurbs and Curves
I have been looking more and more into CAD software as of late and it makes me wonder why I never see anyone use things like NURBs when they are making precisely machined objects. I would think that for weapon artists especially it would be a godsend. I understand that it can be a lot faster to make more flowing, organic… -
Re: Siggraph
I was there. =) Pixologic had some great workflows to show off. A lot of my associates end up either doing art or start working for pixologic, so its usually a good time to see them as well. While not the biggest fan of Autodesk's business model, they still managed to impress with the new features/improvements they keep… -
Re: Sketchbook: Alex Zelenski
Well for some reason the vray camera is making the image a little weird. Not sure why. BUT getting closer to the finished (or workable finished product) Im doing a high poly model to learn some different modeling techniques. I wont texture this because of the poly count and besides, before I even think about texturing I… -
Re: Maya ao !! :@
Hi Johny, don't bother trying to bake ao high to low in Maya. The ao transfer maps is completely broken for ao. I have logged this bug many times with Autodesk but they are yet to address it. The transfer maps menu is missing some key settings which will cause your ao bake to look different each time you generate it, that… -
Re: 3ds Max 2017 SP1 - possible two UVW Unwrap bugs (gif's available).
I only use the old material editor. I assume you are talking about "Compact" mode which is one of the first things I change when I get Max set up. It doesn't work. Yes I did an official report for both the Sel By Material and the Overlapping UVs. Another thing I ran into that bothered me (but have not reported on). Is that… -
Re: Why use underescores for naming things in 3d industry?
An interesting note you bring up regarding Python and C based languages. I've seen the same thing, particularly with Autodesk code. 99% of all Mel scripts and even their python code utilizes camelCase for variables and functions. What's interesting is that this is counter to PEP8 guidelines (no camelCase for either, only… -
Re: game art college graduate success rate....
From what I've gathered being at AI...depending on which campus you go to I suppose; the quality of work depends on you. The game art department teacher pushes maya and renders in mental ray...being new to 3D I went "oooh pretty pictures"... One year left of school I met another game art teacher who asked the class,"why…
