Raul - Thank you man! Im cleaning that up right now! SouthpawSid - Thanks dude! Good to be back! yeah Im actually going to model three high res objects first, then come back to them and do the LP and textures. I believing focusing on learning one thing at a time to really understand it. So modeling high res objects will…
One of the things that really rubbed people the wrong way, was the way that MS sneaked Windows 10 into updates and people woke up next day and it was suddenly installed on their computers without their permissions. Happened to companies too, and resulted in them not being able to work because their software didn't work…
If you create a plane, convert it into an editable poly, and go into face mode, there should be a "create" button that you can use to place vertices that will form faces once you place 4 of them. I think you would have an easier time using the edge drag method though. Place a plane to start with, convert it to an editable…
Hello, When you run the script you're prompted with a dialogue asking you which direction you want, and then it asks you to run the script again. Once you've done that it'll save out that direction's gradient to your maya project folder. Repeat this step for all 3 maps and make sure you rename each map once it's been…
With animation, you kind of have to exaggerate certain aspects to make it readable. Just following reference usually lacks punch. There is a knee pop after the contact, see it? The knee pops forward before moving back. He needs more side to side and up and down. Everything is moving at once but this isn't important right…
The easy way I can think of is with particles, but standard particles tend to spread out more than you want, like physical smoke does. So... Create a spline path for the smoke to follow. Create a super-spray about the size of your smoke stream. Create a "Path Follow" force and bind your super spray to it. Now you're…
Subscriptions. If you're taking your profession seriously, there's no reason you can't afford Maya LT + Mudbox for a combined $30/month. Both are the closest to AAA/Hollywood tool sets on a budget and most people pay more for their cellphones. Anything on Steam usually goes on sale once during the holidays, so I would wait…
Hi again Goco. Im so sorry I haven't replied before now, but I have recently moved and began school again so I currently have no internet at my new apartment. So Im writing this from the school network were I don't have modo so I can check. Now I understand what constants are used for, thank you but don't you need morph…
can tell your doing the Ryan Kingslein approach. stick to it I use that method all the time for cloth folds (I assume your sketching these out with polypaint than converting that to a mask and using inflate?) I think its looking really good so far. you should be looking to firm up some of the folds. look for planes and use…
Your choice seems to be just 1 yes and 3 no's. What about something in between like "Useful once in a while" lol... The experience, connections and things I learned are helpful to this day. Not the degree itself. I was only asked for my degree once applying for a position at a digital television channel…
