Thread: Wanted: Someone to help me model some armor | Forum: 3D Modeling

lordstormdragon ( ) posted Fri, 14 January 2005 at 5:14 AM

What kind of armor did you have in mind? Real armor, like functional plate or chain? Or something for sex-related pics? I'm down with the former, but don't care for sexual pictures much.

Thread: Need a way to make chains...? | Forum: Bryce

lordstormdragon ( ) posted Fri, 14 January 2005 at 4:08 AM

The links meet each other and slide a bit, rotate around their multiple axes based off of their mass, friction, and of course gravity... I had to turn bounce up to .1 so that they would all fall differently, which is the point of this whole thread... No two chain links ever fall identically against each other, in real life. Well, not round links, anyway. Cubical or flat lnks might fall identically... Here's three quick Maya renders. Kinda OT, but these will all end up in Bryce for rendering... First one is software rendered, middle is Mental Ray (draft), and the last is MR with Global Illumination (photon rendering + raytracing).

Here's a shot of the difference between orthogonal chains, obviously NOT hand-placed to meet, and the one-click, non-linear dynamic chains. Maya, still.

(smirks at ysvry!) I didn't know Blender had collisions... Hopefully they work better than Poser 5's so-called collisions. I guess it's a perfectionism thing, I really dont' mean to be elitist about things. There's just a big difference in the way hand-positioned chains look, versus the way chains look in real life. And I am NOT going to hand-position thousands of chain links, I'm really just lazy and looking for a fast way to do it... Think I found it...

lordstormdragon ( ) posted Fri, 14 January 2005 at 3:13 AM

(laughs!) Aye, those were made with a torus and cylinder boolean combination. Too RAM intensive, for the amount of chains I need. I suppose I'm just too damn picky, on this scene. Robert Jordan may be the best writer, ever. I just want to do him justice! I've got my chain link from Rhino into Maya, now. Which is stupid. Maya and Rhino model almost identically, I should have just made it in Maya to start with. And I'm running the dynamics on both gravity and collision... should be done in a bit...

Aye, I started the scene simply as a background for my version of Rand from Poser. Then I figured, since I've seen a dozen or so takes on the Heart of the Stone, that I would model it better and cooler than any of the ones I'd seen so far. Lemonjim drove me to it, his last scene was very nice (the one he turned into a QTVR) Here's a quick shot from Rhino. In Rhino, you'd use "sweep1" to make a chain link. Takes seconds, really.

lordstormdragon ( ) posted Fri, 14 January 2005 at 2:37 AM

No, no... I suppose that I should have specified. I have no problem at all modeling chain links, or positioning them by hand. That's easy for me. What I'm looking for is a dynamic way to make the chains realistic. Keywords : gravity, collision detection. I guess I'll just dive into Maya and see what happens...

lordstormdragon ( ) posted Fri, 14 January 2005 at 2:18 AM

Hmm... I don't use Wings, I use Whino. (elitism!) But neither Wings NOR Whino use anything remotely like collision detection, much less gravity. Perhaps I'll just take this question to the Maya forum, but there's not many users that stop by there... Mostly, I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it in KnotPlot, or if there was a free app anyone knew about to do such a thing?

Thread: What can Bryce do for me..! | Forum: Bryce

lordstormdragon ( ) posted Fri, 14 January 2005 at 1:56 AM

Bryce has a powerful user interface. If you use Carrara, and can get anywhere on it, prepare to be blown away by Bryce's simplicity and the power, and SLOWNESS, of it's Ray-Tracer... You'll find yourself rendering in Bryce, neither Carrara NOR Poser let you set up a scene as easily and fluidly as Bryce does. Although Carrara has a more powerful rendering engine... Poser, on the other hand, is a pale shadow for composition and rendering when compared to Bryce. You'll find yourself using Poser for exporting characters, and that's about it. The program is unstable and the controls and libraries are just plain ridiculous. Now, you might say, "That's YOUR opinion!" Well, of course it's my opinion! You'll know for fact that it's my opinion, because I typed it all!

Hmm, to do serious damage it would have to be a Gamma-Ray laser... Don't know the frequencies, though! Gamma-Ray lasers actually exist, and cause more damage to a wider area than any Nuke. The Cold War was just the beginning... "SOL. We'll use SOL." (Akira)
