  1. i am missing several model files, and i am SURE i posted them on here somewhere before they disappeared from my computer, yet i can't find them on the forums anywhere! i was wondering if anyone downloaded them before they disappeared from my sight.

    the models are:

     

    runner

     

    ravager

     

    drone

     

    carrier

     

    warrior

     

    note: these are my old alien models, and i need them back..... could anyone help me find them or post them back on this topic? thx

  2. my intense textures are slowing my computer down, at least when i am trying to edit in a choreography. i've seen that in some models, the textures aren't visible, yet when you render, there they are! (Ex: Gala model) (and this increases performance A LOT) how am i able to do this? anyone know?

  3. In A:M it means using one shape to cut out a portion of another shape. Kind of like the bite out of an apple.

     

    A:M's booleans work in renders, meaning they dont' actually change the mesh of either object.

     

    could it be used for water effects or something like that? i have been waiting and looking for a way to do water effects for a long time now...

  4. we'll you can't see any flaws in the mesh if its in toon (especially when theres no shading). and i'm not sure if using hair will work unless you strategize it so that its not on the whole body...cause having on the whole bod doesn't sound like it would work out O_o....

     

    You make lots of sense, but I decided to try it anyways..... and I will now do them in "Final" mode for you ;)

    and yes, I added fur.

    any suggestions/comments would be appreciated (took me forever to groom it)

    oh, btw, how do you make the ends of the hairs pointy instead of edges?

  5. i have made several poses so far on my models, yet if i use more than one that uses the same bone(s), it seems to add them together (ex: a mouth opening with a smile) and makes it look terrible, and the face points and the bones are all over the place. is there a way to use more than one pose in a certain area without this happening?

     

    Show an example.

     

    Without poses

    post-9472-1197144206_thumb.jpg

     

    With a pose (roar)

    post-9472-1197144687_thumb.jpg

     

    With 2 poses (roar and retractable mouth strike) .... the smaller mouth should be coming out of the mouth, but instead it is moved to the back of the head.

    how's that? is it good enough for any conclusions? (all of the poses were done at 100%)

  6. i have made several poses so far on my models, yet if i use more than one that uses the same bone(s), it seems to add them together (ex: a mouth opening with a smile) and makes it look terrible, and the face points and the bones are all over the place. is there a way to use more than one pose in a certain area without this happening?

  7. xtaz, could you give me some advice on how i am to fix these situations that you have pointed out (ex, should i replace some hooks with 5 point patches) that would be great

     

    ...and mage, i render it in toon render because it is an anime character, therefore i believed that it should be rendered in toon mode, to see if it works out or not in toon mode. and i do plan on using hair ^_^

  8. oh, nvm that anymore.... now here is an update that i long since for got:

    sorry for the extremely late update, i will try to be more fluent next time ;)

    enjoy!

  9. thanks for the encouragement guys! here is an update on the model, only in wireframe.

    oh, and i am only doing half the face... because i know i can duplicate it later

     

    post-9472-1195182259_thumb.jpg post-9472-1195182286_thumb.jpg

     

     

    please let me know of anything that is needed so far.

     

    one more thing.... why haven't you started on this, the_black_mage? do you have a lot of work eating up your lifetime too?

  10. yeah, it sounds crazy, but i guess it's worth a shot. i am trying to create wolfs, specifically wolfs from the anime Wolf's Rain.

    for now i am going to start with Kiba (the white wolf), so far i made an "outline" of him from these images:

    ... i am beginning with the nose, then up the face. however, i might need some tips like how to model a wolf's mouth and the eyes.

    here is what i have so far in wireframe:

    hope you like it so far, even though it sucks

  11. oh, and one more thing.... when i try to render at least 3 or more of my models together it corrupts the rendering, like it goes half way through the render, then it aborts it. could any1 tell me what the problem is here too?
