    Displacement maps on 5-p patches

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    I dont use displacement maps too much but if i remember corrdctly...5 pointers dont take displacement info well at all. I hate to say it but u might be better off finding a workaround other than displacement or loose those 5 pointers. Correct me if im wrong someone!

    Meet Sandra, My First Head

    in Work In Progress / Sweatbox

    Posted

    Wow, for a first head youve definitely got some good things going on here. Your splines seem laid out rather well and there definitely seems to be a sense of youthfulness about her. For the decal i would look online for some help on how to apply a realistic decal such as the one u are using. As for the ears, check this link out. This guy uses modeling techniques i have found to be invaluable.

    Also, there seems to be a dark ring on the nose area. Not sure if thats a shadow, modeling or decal but may want to chek that out.

     

    Hope i helped a little,

    Quick Question

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    What qould be the advantage of me ordering the v11 CD over using the beta version? Also, since v11 is still in beta testing, why have they released the CD? Im slightly confused i suppose.

     

    Thanks,

    Biases

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    I have read thru David Rogers Animation:Master 2002 handbook (about a million times! Great resource!) and he mentions how tweaking the bias handles in modeling can sometimes provoke odd popping in animation. Naturally i stayed away from bias handles as much as possible. Lately though ive been wondering how many here use the bias manipulators for smoothing things out. Does it cause awkward popping? Are certain areas of the body better for it and others not such a goog idea? Im in 10.5.

     

    Thank you very much,

    Chor action export?

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    I guess my question is, what does export as action do? When i export as action in a chor, it saves it as a file type "file", not an action file. Therefore i cannot reopen it in AM because it is not a valid file type. Is this normal and if so, what is this feature used for then?

     

    Thanks,

    Chor action export?

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    So in my Chor, i go to my models properties and see chor action 1. Its contextual menu says export as action. I export it but i cant do anything with it. What am i missing? Is this function diff than what i seem to think it is?

     

    Thanks alot,

    New WIP

    Thought id out up a little of what im working on. Id like to say right now that im no modeler, hence the incredibly awkward creases and such. Good animation is my goal for this short and i was hoping you people with more experience could give me some pointers and point out things i should change. Anyways, heres a short little sample, 3 MB.

    DOV

    I did that and got no noticable results. The backround wall is pretty close to him though, its possible the blur is just very minimal. Thanks all.

    That does help some. But my biggest question is, if i want an object in focues, do i put him in line with the center focus, between the near and far, or perhaps before the near?? I tried putting him right in the middle and he comes up blurry. Need some help with placement of objects.

    Can someone give me a quick rundown on depth of vision. Where do i set the near focus and far focus? When i do it and do a final render i dont notice anything.

     

    Thanks,

    Multi-Pass confusion

    in (2003-2004)

    Nothing useful to say except that Beowulf was also the story upon which "The 13th Warrior" was based. Thats also the most realistic representation of the vikings ive seen thus far in a movie. I watch the history channel alot....too much....

    Alpha

    Whenever i download the aplha and try to open it, it asks for the version 11 cd which of course i do not have. I suppose this means it already ran out? That seems odd though because i tried this a month or two ago and i still couldnt open it. hmmm. Am i forgeting to do something?

     

    Thanks,

    In order to download and use alpha 11 do i need to have the cd for version 10.5? I have perk holding a flower, i think thats 9.5. I upgraded once to 10.5 and if i remeber correctly thats as high as you can go for free, nut i wasnt sure if that applied to the alphas as well.

     

    Thanks,

    What program to use?

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    To start with let me first say that this is going to be more work than you can imagine. Take the amount of work you think it will be and multiply it by 10. Im not saying that to discourage you im only helping you to understand that this will take a LONG time. I came into 3d animation thinking it was a breeze...ha...ha... In Animation Master you can create all the characters u need, depending on what game engine your using to create the actual game. For many game engines u should be able to use many of the things AM can produce. This is where i turn the conversation over to someone better versed in game design and character/set implementation. Hope that little bit helps.
