Alright, our programmer brought to our attention that each sub-mesh of a model may only have 40(ish) bones. The model in question has 79 bones, so must be broken up into at least 2 sub-meshes. However, the vertex numbers are in an "illogical order." i.e.- vertex #1 is on the face, vertex #2 is on the knee. So instead of…
Messing around with a werewolf style beast, lots to figure out still, and planning on doing a diffuse only model. Final Submission! Closeup/Thread header image: Full Frame: Full Frame (Wires): Closeup(s): Wolfie Texture - 4096 Diffuse: Pedestal texture - 2048 Diffuse: Background: "Wolfie was banished from his homeland so…
I stumbled upon a handy little script that I thought some of you might like. It basically automates the whole moving objects to the 0,0,0 position and back during export which is great if you have multiple models in one scene file. Another nice addition to the script is copying all of the transformation data from a 3D…
Hello there. I've been playing around with maya 2009 and have stumbled upon a really annoying problem. I've been using it for about a month now with no problems at all. Then today I imported an OBJ file and for some reason I can no longer click on any of the transform tools in the tool box display. I also cannot right…
We are currently working on an indie stealth adventure game that involves a ghost which can transform between three different states. The player attempts to escape a haunted mansion with ghosts roaming. When the ghost is patrolling, they are in state 1 (far left). When the ghost is alerted to any noise, they transition to…
Hey, today I stumbled across something (for my shame I did not pay attention in the past): Color correction while rendering texture maps for realtime (haircard textures like albedo/normal/directional) I now often have read that working in "linear" is correct? under Preference - Color Management: "Rendering Space: scene…
I'm modeling a character in 3DS Max, but I did the block out for the character in Zbrush. The character scale is a bit too small for max, so I want to scale it up, but also be able to return it to it's original scale easily (for detail work in zbrush). I exported the parts from Zbrush as OBJs (with scale set to 1.0… though…
Hi all, got a probably simple question for any of you experienced in Rigging. To be specific I'm rigging up some tank treads to a tank model, which has been exported into CryEngine2. I'm very new to rigging and tried some tutorials but can't figure our what this means. From what research I did I think this is more of a…
Hello, Since there was some basic feeatures I trully needed on Blender for game dev, I've put some time to write few scripts :smile: First one allows you to copy the current Transform orientation to origin orientation of one or several objects : Second one is a easy way to do a bevel-shading using normal edition. All you…
