Here a tool I developed (inspired from Rick Banks). I decided to create a fully procedural wall builder that allow users to tweaks with all aspects of the wall , from the shape, brick’s dimension, assign textures and colors . During the developement I figured out a lot of things Read more…
I created a little tool to populate crowd along a curve , this is very usefull especially when you should create army formations , or give a specific shape. The tool allow not only to choose how many people you want but you can also choose how many row expands Read more…
Creating dust and smoke effects realtime Hi there to continue the Steam walkers crowds sim I decided to share my workflow and improvements using the Golaem simulation inside Unreal. After setting-up the environment and installation … yess! To make this transition smoothly I suggest you to take a look at Read more…
I experiment a bit with Houdini crowds and obstacles avoidance, really simple to implement . I tried to implement in different situation and is always working fine 🙂 I tried to use on a flocking simulation and a standard biped simulations and in both case I got excellent results. The Read more…
Hi there! Developing a shot for my own personal sci-fi project I encounters some difficulties to figure out … how I can do that? The shot mainly show some miners/slave that pulling a floating cargo, and at one point the character to the right must to falling down . The Read more…
Hi there, in the following video there is playblast I did some days ago using Golaem (Autodesk Maya), this test is focused on using Golaem’s force to interact withe the crowd. The behaviors I set put is really simple, for both entities I setup a beMotion node (run) , and Read more…
Hi there , in the following video you can see a Flock behaviour I did last night! The Behaviour is not complex but have a lot of details that need to be configured, the entities avoid the sphere light but at the same time they follows it , that because Read more…
Hi there, usually for modeling and painting 3d asset I’m gonna use Auotdesk Mudbox or 3dCoat , but for my curiosity after different comments from my colleagues I dedice to try Substance Painter … and wow! The result are really promising! Substance Painter is a GPU based software for painting Read more…
Hi there,
today I want to share just some tips about creating inflating simulation using Ncloth in Maya.
In the video shown before I created a 3d Text Type , and after adding some tessellation for have more deformations I just select the model and I added NCloth to the object… for have the inflating fx I just animate the pressure parameter with negative value , otherwise it looks like a baloon that must to explode …. 😀
Here same preview of sci-fi girl character that I did for a project some years ago … The characters was modeled and rigged using Autodesk Maya , Mudbox and rendered with Vray. Hope that you like it! 😉 The Rig have also custom controls to manage hair simulation, IK-FK switch and Read more…
