Re: My first Female!
To stop the poly's from shrinking use creases. A few buttons below Divide there's a Crease button, use it before sub-dividing and your planes won't shrink. Marine: Yeah, You can keep the volume by storing a morph target as soon as you import, before sub-dividing. Subdivide the model a few times, then go back to level 1 and… -
Re: LCD screens and colors
A decent monitor calibrated with a decent colorimeter is a must. But as Frosty notes, if your target audience for your product is games, you should be viewing it on the same equipment they will. A 24" Dell or comparable monitor and an Eye-one Display2 colorimeter will give you a viewing environment that is better in color… -
Re: Serious Game: Dafur is Dying
She mentions in the interview that "game" may not be the best way to describe this as more a simulation.. The problems you mention are based on the assumption of fun. >Games< have to be fun. I would argue games simply need to be engaging. How that engagement works, and the target audience are what is crucial. Which would… -
Re: Maya - Human IK rig has some hidden offset value, botches blendshapes
@throttlekitty you're awesome! Disabling the envelope did it. And about your last sentence, that works if I create a new shape by Add Target > edit > sculpt, but if I add a target from selected mesh I still get the unwanted offset. I tried cycling through the different types "Auto, Object, Tangent, etc" but it doesn't make… -
Re: Armor and item modification
An alternate solution (which may scale better if/when you start building more items), is to set up a base mesh for a "neutral" body type, and create morph targets for each of the five body types. Then you could put together a maxscript that basically creates morph targets for the items based on relative vertex positions. I… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rick Stirling
one thing I found out with zbrush that may help you since I noticed you didn't manage to maintain your lowpoly shapes while smoothing: just before the first smooth, go down the panel and in morph target click storeMT, then smooth as much as you want, then go back to the first level and switch morph targets, and your shape… -
Re: 3dsMax single axis Orientation Constraint?
Hi Bal, I'm not an animation expert, but I think you can easily achieve this by using Parameters Wiring, and linking the source single axis parameter to the target object axis parameter. Remember to Freeze Transforms to zero before doing any actual rigging. Another way, is to use a Script Controller on the single target… -
Re: [Marmoset Toolbag / Substance Painter] Normals look poor in Substance Painter but fine in Marmoset
Marmoset is more forgiving with tangents and both have different tangent space calculations which affect the shading. Unless its breaking your texturing, don't care about it as long as it looks right in your target engine. You will always have the best look if you bake directly for your target tangent space, so substance… -
Tubular! a finished student game
Hey all, a group of 8 students including me finished a little game project for IGF that we would like you guys to see and play. some information: Tubular! is a fast-paced arcade-style shooter game. Missiles you fire will rotate endlessly around the planet and become obstacles you'll have to avoid! If you miss a target you… -
Skin morph
I grabbed a video of the Max 7 skinmorph modifier the other day. Out of the box it's of no use for in game stuff, but it could be grand for setting up morph targets for certain animations - like lifting the arms above the head etc. Has anyone used it? I'm just interested in finding out if anyone with experience can…
