Carrara

2008-07-30T13:51:06Z

I just started working with Carrara, and -- as I expected -- it's more complicated than Bryce. I spent most of the weekend working on a spaceship that I assumed I'd get done in a few hours. That was a pain by the megaton! Anyway, it seems that now I can get things done on Carrara a bit faster than before. But it still seems way, way complicated to me.

UVW maps for Viz 2007

2008-07-04T08:14:49Z

Hi all. First let me say that I'm not impress with what Autodesk has done with Viz or AutoCAD. It's like they're trying to find ways to F%$^ it up more.

I'm trying to apply a material to a box with the intention of scaling the material to fit. If I check the "Real-World Map Size" button it shows up in the rendering, but not to the proportions I need and I cannot modify it other than where it is placed by using the Gizmo. Uncheck it, then it doesn't show up at all.

Please help! Does anyone know how to modify the proportions of the maps?

Looking for a freelance 3dsMax modeler

2006-12-18T19:10:47Z

After being totally let down by the 3dmax guy I have been using, I'm on the lookout for reliable 3dsmax users to work with.

I use Max myself and have done for many years but I don't specialize in it.

I am looking for people that can do accurate product modeling to photo realistic renders as well as people that would be happy taking a model from me and doing the textures/ lighting.

If this is something you can do or know anybody that is reliable that can do this kind of stuff, please get in touch.

Ideally somebody from the SF Bay area would be best for me.

Thanks.

Where is MetaReyes and MorphMagic in Max8?

2006-09-18T02:33:29Z

OK, I know I'm old school....I went from Max 2.5 to 8.

So, I loooooved the organic modeling I got with MetaReyes...those balls that you could string together and skin...remember that?

Is there anything like that in Max 8?

Also, how 'bout Morph Magic? I loved that for animating sync'd speaking?

I know I should RTFM (read the f**king manual), but my frontal lobes are atrophied in that area.

Thanks for your feedback!!

Has anyone seen these new animation tools for 3DS Max?

2006-05-15T14:57:38Z

I have always enjoyed Andy Murdock's animations ... in particular, his "Lots of Robots" work. Well, he recently announced a new set of scripts/tools to help make animation in 3DS Max a lot easier.

http://www.lotsofrobots.com/automatron/Automatron_FS.htm

This is not an advertisement. I don't have any connection to Andy Murdock's site. I just thought it looked really interesting. I wanted to know if anyone else had looked into it and what they thought of it.

I've been more of a modeler/texturer/lighter in Max in the past, and rigging/animation has seemed a bit overwhelming ... but with these new tools, I don't know ... I might just have to give it a try.

Thanks for looking.

Skill Trade Anyone? 3d Max Physics for Web / Design?

2006-03-19T18:38:47Z

I am a web designer and something of a 3D hobbyist. I seem to be hitting a brick wall using the 3D Max physics system. I do a lot of server side coding so I am not a numnuts with abstract thinking but I could really use a few hours of someones' time to just take me thourgh the basics of things like ropes, particle systems, and other uses of reactors like deformer groups etc.

I do have something to offer; I have been doing PHP / web development for years and am a classically trained illustrator. (my stuff is on manateebay.com.)

If there is a F2F user grouip in the bay area I would love to hear about it..

Dealing with edges in 3D Studio Max 7

2006-02-24T07:46:57Z

Peace.

I'm experienced in previous versions of this app and my last extensive work was in Maya 4.0.. I had gotten used to the ability to control the hardness and softness of edges on my characters to accentuate detail on the models.

As far as I know, the only way to affect this in Max is the smoothing function but what if I need to do the opposite of smoothing and make an edge more rigid?

Thanx in advance.

A guy in Redwood City has need of a 3D modeller. Ideally, one who has 'game' sensibilities, as this will be a real-time, interactive model. And most ideally, someone who knows what 'aura' and 'chakra' mean, as you would be modelling 'the human aura'. Target platform is X3D, ideally using VizX3D, but Max, Maya OK too. Pay negotiable. Work anywhere, would be nice if you could stop by Redwood City to meet once in a while.

Polar Express: eye movement and eyebrow position

2005-12-19T01:13:07Z

I thought this was interesting about "Polar Express"
re: eye movement (lack of) and eyebrow positioning

http://www.computerarts.co.uk/in_depth/Opinion/polar_opposites

"In life, we make eye contact with one another maybe 20 per cent of the time. The rest of the time we glance around framing thoughts, keeping a look out for predators, whatever. We focus at times close up and at other times far away, depending on the thought. For mo-capped photoreal humans to come of age, the animators will have to figure out how to give eyes random focus that's correlated to the thought process. This isn't likely to happen soon. Even if a method of random focus can be developed, how will that be co-ordinated with human thought? Humans are hardwired by nature to recognise and respond to facial expression, particularly in the eyes. Our sense of sight is many times more powerful than our sense of hearing, and for a good evolutionary reason - if we couldn't detect predators until we heard them, we'd all be prehistoric lunch."

__________________________________________________

scroll down on this page to see more edited images (before and after) of the conductor and the boy...

http://wardomatic.blogspot.com/2004/12/polar-express-virtual-train-wreck_18.html

...simple changes in the eyebrows (moved up for surprised expression vs. down for mean) and obscuring of the eye balls in some shots, making wider lips etc. would have helped the realism.

Ward Jenkins' blog:

"I sat there just staring at this image, trying to figure out what happened. What exactly is going on here? Why does the image on the top look so engaging, so vibrant, so full of life, but the image on the bottom - which is supposed to be the exact same performance of the actor "captured" by the computer - look so dead and puppet-like? I went around the internet searching for anyone who might've tried to explain this. I found nothing. There were many who talked about it, who went on about The Uncanny Valley and such (which I mentioned in my previous post), but never anyone who really sat down and analyzed the movie and its characters, frame-by-frame. This is when I decided to do some investigating on my own."

"And my main problem with the Hero Boy (besides his eyes) were his eyebrows and his mouth. Maybe the original boy from whom they used to model for the CG character had downturned eyebrows, but I guarantee you that he did not look pissed off and mad at everybody all day. If the filmmakers could've just raised the eyebrows a bit, especially in this scene as he's watching in amazement at this fantastical event, then there could've been some more humanity put into the boy. Just these subtle touches make all the difference in the world."

"Here, the boy has gotten his ticket and is apparently mesmerized by the darn thing. He looks so vapid. The one thing that I noticed in the movie, was that it seemed like they wanted to light Hero Boy's eyes with such intensity that we would be in constant awe of them. But in reality, they looked like doll eyes. It's just not natural to be able to see all of the iris all of the time. There will always be some shadows present, even with the most dramatic, intense eyes."

http://wardomatic.blogspot.com/2004/12/polar-express-virtual-train-wreck.html

"I enjoyed the use of the camera as you can definitely tell that Zemeckis was having fun with his new-found freedom from the usual restraints of camera work within a live action setting. If you've ever watched a movie being made, you know how much time is spent on getting the camera and lights set up. It literally is like watching grass grow. Very tedious and time consuming. So you can see where he's wanting to go with this film. Zemeckis just wants to have fun. And he does with several shots, like the lost ticket scene. Also with the train on the frozen lake. There's some great visuals going on here, but I swear, each time we cut back to a reaction shot of the characters, I was thrown out of the film like a Bob Knight chair. It was so hard for me to watch this film. "

Things left to do:
Animate the pump and the inflation
Render it in some format

In the meantime I should contact him about what kind of motion file (avi? mpeg? wma?) he would like to have this submitted in. Thank god for Premiere.

Even if I dont get this done in time, I am going to have something to show for it. I have relearned a few old skills I forgot about and picked up some new ones.

NURBS: When/if to convert

2005-11-01T20:23:07Z

Hello all

I am constructing a kangaroo of sorts (not sure how cartoonish or realistic the head will be). So far I decided to try my hand at using NURBS (since all school really taught me was how to use polygons). I have constructed the body and now it is time for the hands and feet.

I have pretty good reference pictures but Im not sure if it is a good idea to make my limbs in NURBS like I did the body. I know I could convert it all to polygons in the end but Im not sure. Personally I find that NURBS seem harder to attach together with other surfaces but maybe there is a method I have not explored yet.

As for the legs, I had the perfect shape by using the curves tool (creating points on the graph) since I could make the leg initially close and accurate to the way a kangaroo's foot is actually shaped instead of taking a sphere or something and manipulating it through isoparm addition.

Thoughts?

3D opportunites in SF

2005-06-09T03:44:47Z

Hi,

I am a 3ds MAX modeler/animator working at a post house in Philly and I want to relocate to SF. Does anyone know of a good resource or list of companies doing 3D there? I also do 3D for architecture firms so if someone has info about how to find which companies are hiring, I would appreciate it very much!!

Thanks!

I'm wondering how long it would take for someone to render water in the form of a droplet with the ripples and water coming out of a faucet. I have a product that inclues these shapes, and would like to get some rendering done.

XSI future?

2005-03-19T00:40:29Z

I was wondering what this group thinks of the future of XSI since Maya has mental ray. I am very good with XSI and I am having a hard time crossing over to Maya but that is where most of the 3d work 'seems' to be. I was wondering what this group thinks about this. I personally thing XSI is awesome.. even for a Mac usr that owns a windows box just for it. Can anyone point me to a good XSI-Maya transition page? I would like to know both

3d max to flash

2005-01-24T21:45:51Z

Does anyone know the process of converting 3d max to flash? I want to create a online portfolio where the menus are 3d. I am a 3d max user. I have heard of some programs like swift 3d and primere but was wondering if anyone has a good website to explain the process or a book. Most 3d books that I have found do not cover flash.
And if anyone has a good flash book please let me know.
Thanks

Where can i get a copy of Max

2004-12-16T07:14:41Z

doesn anyone know how much a 3dmax copy is? i was looking in to trying it out. Im 15, live in california and wanted to try something new. I usually do photoshop and macromedia fireworks, but this sounded very interesting. If there is a free download(dont know if that is supported around here) that would be great, seeing as im short on funds.

Ok, thanks so much guys, o and im the 150th member exactly, lol

New 3ds max 6 book

2004-10-28T20:39:58Z

My new book, Foundations of 3ds max 6, is available at bookstores and online. It's much better than my first book, Harnessing 3ds max 5.

Foundations is for beginner to intermediate max users, but it has pretty cool sections on character modeling, rigging, and animation.

New formZ Tribe

I just started a new tribe for users of formZ. Check it out at http://formZ.tribe.net. There's nothing there yet, but don't let that stop you; it takes members to post, which is where *you* and the folks you invite come in <g>. I hope we can create a vibrant community of users sharing tips and images.

BTW, if anyone can tell me how to create a listing that can be posted to various tribes with this new software so that I can spread the word about this tribe, I'd appreciate it. I'm completely stymied.

So, what do people think of Modo?

Any one play with it yet?

I sat through a demo at SIGGRAPH and it looked very cool. But I don't know about the price for a stand alone modeler. Then again Form-Z is over $1000.

if you haven't seen modo yet or even heard of it here is a link to the web site.

Question about Animation Master

2004-06-30T15:35:06Z

Has anyone out there used, or is using Hash, Inc. Animation Master? They do not offer any kind of demo software, so there is no way of evaluating the software. I think this is an unwise decision on the part of Hash, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, I am looking at the software for a possible purchase for my animation company, but wanted some input as to what people's experiences with it are. Anyone have any input for me?

Anybody here use it. What are your feelings on it. I'm still very very new to the 3D modeling and animation world. I've downloaded and have been using Blender for a while now. It seems like a very featured and usable program once you learn all the key strokes.

Just curious of what people think of the program.

Box or mesh (wtf!)

2004-01-17T22:36:14Z

Hi all!
So I have been dicking around with 3dmax for a few weeks now,starting to get well comfortable with da interface and have produced some niceish landscapes and objects. Time now to jump in to head modelling,have set up my front and side planes in max with my work image(my son) and am now ready to rock. Thing is though I am unsure as to the best way forward from here. I followed the 3dbuzz VTM on head modelling but I am none too clear on using the cut tool.
Is there a method strongly recommended by anyone in here,possibly backed up with a kick ass tutorial?
cheers in advance!

OMG!!!! "Harnessing 3dsMax5"

2003-11-18T10:53:42Z

For those out there just getting in to/starting out with 3d modeling an animation I strongly reccomend you get a hold of "Harnessing 3dsMax5" by Aaron Ross and Michele Bousquet. The book is laid out clearly and written succinctly and to the point. The instructional cd complete with video files to see how things are done is superb both in quality and content.
I was unable to get it easily where I live and the author was kind enough to send it to me.
Cheers man,its a beauty!
