@DanikaPuzdrowski I can't say much about the compass animation. I am working with a contractor who takes care of the programming. I do know that we consider world axis of z to be north, and then I think it's not to complicated to lock the compass dials local rotation to always face that way. On top of that a smoothing…
Hey, your props are good but to be honest at first glance I can only tell what 3 of them are. I'd also concentrate on creating an entire environment since thats what you're calling yourself rather than some random props. One thing you should try is researching a specific location on earth (assuming you'd like to stick with…
I feel like I can anticipate one of the new tools in IC.Shape 2.0. Anything to see a girl smile. From MAXScript menu, create a New Script. Copy and paste following code, then from editor menu Tools choose Evaluate All. You'll find the command in Customize User Interface... under category IllusionCatalyst Tools, named…
video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOoyXOEAnoU&feature=youtu.be Using male biped, started with structure set to use knuckles but then I have changed it to normal hands. I have weighted whole fingers vertexes to hand bone instead of knuckles so I was able to place the fingers bones to right positions. All this was…
The height extraction seems to be very smart - largely based on me dumping a bunch of crap from textures.com into it and seeing what happened. I can see it being useful for generating data that is then fed to designer to build large surfaces that tile properly. @rollin That's my biggest issue with the setup - however, it…
An animation classmate and I walked miles to locate EA Sports headquarters somewher in Burnaby (a Vancouver suburb) long time ago to hand in our vhs demo reels (this was before phone gps and cheap websites). It was out of the way from local bus routes so we had to cross no-mans land traffic lanes and grassy hills. Anybody…
I handled a C330 the other day at a friend's house; it's a cool camera, big, and I like the ability to change lenses. I got the Rollei and Ikonta off of eBay, it's a risk but there are many great cameras listed on that site, and fortunately both of the cameras I got from it work very well and are in great shape considering…
When it comes to lighting, start simple. Pick your sun position and work your way up from there by adding bounce light, local light sources etc. Turning off the diffuse textures and just having the light and normalmaps is another way to get a clear ieda of what's going on without any distractions. There was an article…
Hehe yeah - and the manipulator being in local space doesn't help either :D Personally I don't mind the tweaking and moving at all as I consider it to be part of the design process itself ; I find it more natural than using the grab brush on a lump of clay in Zbrush or Mudbox for instance. But I totally understand that it…
