Re: [Arianne-general] Uh Taris orc model problem... how do I question? Any 3dstudio wiz here?

[Djaggernaut <dja...@wa...>]

Hello
Have you tried to make an STL check on it??
Perhaps there are some open edges or multiple faces... That's sometime
creating problems...

BTW, just some advices, because I will probably not been involved anymore in
Arianne for a while.

Try to define exactly who is who, with what skill, what time could you spent
a week.
Practice 3D, you'll learn by trying, testing, searching for new experience
in 3D.

Skinning is hard and it require drawing abilities. But, if you're not a good
drawer, simply use some part of photo, take some reference eveywhere you
can, use textures found on the net.

There are 2 unwrapping method:
- separating all the faces, rotating them and organizing them in a square.
Then using the morph tool to rebuild them into the previous model
-Applying !UVWmap on each part of the model, then unwrapping the whole into
a single texture.

Learn at least one, knowing the 2 is better!
And finally, search for tutos on the net,  you'll never learn enough :)
Hope it'll helps!

If you've got some questions, ask me but I will not answer anymore in
something like a week
bye,
