In short you're doing it wrong. The ik solvers in max work in a single plane so in this case youll never get a correct knee bend. Run the controller from the thigh to the foot and for now, drop the extra knee joint(walk before you run) If memory serves you can just link a swivel target into the controller from the motion…
Probably should've posted this earlier. Construction shots for model and face. This is the oh so "lovely" rig set up with a dynamic skirt and coat, FK arms, IK legs, SDK wings and a facial rig. Not the best rig in the world but it mostly works and you can pose her at least. My laptop is kind of old so it doesn't like…
They are one of the most difficult things to rig up but there are a few ways I've seen it done, but they really depend on the poly count, how close and how complex of a rig you're allowed to make and what kind of things can you use. What app? The easiest way I've seen it done, is with animated UV's. The most complex…
I've fallen behind, too but nothing a quick google and read couldn't solve. Downsizer: Of course, if you cannibalize the trivial parts (that REALLY don't need replacing) like drives and case you can get away with 600-700$ for a gaming rig. Testing Oblivion is a bit unfair, I don't think you can get a decent framerate in…

Thanks for the replies. Showster: Yeah I'll see if I can get more definition in there, the main problem I am having is that there is only 2 areas where the clothes are any where close being tight (the area above the boots under the tunic and the elbow areas) the rest of his clothes are pretty baggy or are covered with…
Whats your trick to get rid of UV Pelt seams in UE4 when making a character that really needs a UDIM set up? I have come across various methods but what process do you use? is there a particular software that can produce better seams then others? Now 4K is just around the corner for the console market it must be being…
Hey, I've had an issue come up with a fresnel material not functioning correctly on a rigged skeletal mesh, despite it working fine on a static mesh and I cannot find any solution or situation posted like it online so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help figure out what's wrong. http://puu.sh/vbgws/fd51c75512.jpg…
Hey guys, This is my first proper game ready character. Made in 4 weeks. I covered: Concepting Modeling Retopoing Uving Texturing Rigging Skinning Animating And importing into Unity as a playable character. There are many areas I need to improve in such as proportions and rigging. But I think the main area is details. Here…
I am having an issue with rigging up my characters hand in Maya 2015. The screenshot below shows how I have it rigged with IK solvers form knuckle to tip. I added a controller to the end of the fingers and set a point constraint to the IK so that I could bend it just using the controllers instead. I then parented the…
