Re: Character Creation, The Human Head Thread - Face Edgeloops, Hair, Skin thread, best practice
In 1972, Frederic Ira Parke, while a grad student at the University of Utah, created the first computer graphics animation of a human face, and with fellow student (and Pixar co-founder) Ed Catmull made the groundbreaking computer animation of a human hand. Some of this film, titled "A Computer Animated Hand," was used in… -
Re: Study Group - Characters
LRoy, i really like your piece, you've got some great material definition going on, but there are a couple of things that are irking me a little. the silouhette of her arm seems a little off, almost too cylindrical, it might be nice to see a clear definition of the difference between where her forearm starts and her upper… -
Re: [WIP] Lewis Gun
Nice work so far. A really interesting weapon to model and IIRC I think this is the inspiration for many Star Wars weapons as well? Or maybe that was the MG42. Something that may help you get the proportions of some of those pieces like the sling attachment is to look at photos of this weapon being held/used by people.… -
Re: Is there a tool like Bend modifier in Maya?
You can stack bend deformers in maya like they did in the tutorial. Below maya 2010/11? if I remember right though, you use radians to calculate the arc instead of degrees. Though Google solves that issue. However, 2010/2011/2012 you can now specify degrees or radians in preferences. M4d and kcat both give other… -
Re: Makkon Hooded Concept Character
you should add a bit more mass to the legs, atm, it looks like she is anemic or something due to the skinnyness of the legs. in the concept, the legs are quite a bit larger and round, giving her the curves that look good. and the flat stomach looks wrong, humans have curve, so add a bit of bulge and arc to the abdomen, and… -
Re: Goblin animation critique
First things first, your name is great. Now onto business: There are a few places where it's easy to see that multiple body parts are keyed on the same frames. If they both need to start moving at the same time, you can avoid twinning by making their poses not mirror so closely. Ex. the arms at the beginning and end.… -
Re: Sketchbook: Futzy
Starting work on a series of 12 pieces that I decided to develop into a story arc for my Concentration portion of AP art. I'll share the story itself when I develop it further, but the basics of it is that we are following these two dudes on some world on their journey The next piece (wip) is though the door and an… -
Re: The Secret World Inspired Interior [UE4]
@macoll Yep, but just enough for some contrast throughout the room. @Deathstick Thank you for the feed back. I noticed what you were saying about the shelf and desk and along with some shopping for a new desk irl I was able to think of a way to break up the wood grain more for both props. Also, the transition trim to the… -
Re: Lava bubble popping effect
@Mark Dygert Thank you very much for you answer, those techniques look awesome, I finally ended up doing it with a mesh base particle effect and modifying just the size through time, which is exactly what you adviced me in the first place. I didn't know about the other two, but they look really cool, I'm definitely gonna… -
Re: Walk cycles, opposing key calculations
Cheers Mark. Oh I totally agree, even from my position, at the bottom of the ladder so to speak, I can already see how exactly the same fundamentals are equally apparent in 2D. I must admit prior to reading Richards book, I probably would've shrugged off any suggestion to study and 2D animation when I'm aiming to do 3D.…
