A tutorial would be nice. I’ve played around with the Track Node and can’t seem to figure it out.

Modeling a baseball tutorial

2013-05-17T08:29:30-08:00

Hello out there!

I am by no means a modeler. I’ve tried to model many simple things and that is about as far as I can go. What I cannot do for the life of me is model a baseball with seams. I want to be able to do this without mapping the seams over a sphere, but with actual geometry. I was hoping to do this with live primitives and mograph to keep everything editable for animations. Has anyone had luck building a baseball, and if so would anyone be so kind on sharing some tips or even a tutorial?

Thanks so much!

Seafloor-Emitting Different types of Particles

2013-05-17T09:46:42-08:00

Hi,
I’ve got a thinking particle system setup to emit 11 different types of sea particles.
Problem is, cant figure out how to get the emitter to shoot out 11 different types of sea particles. It will only emit the SAME type particle at various sizes?
Please see the attached scene file below.

Thanks
Joel H.

Character Object- Biped Rig Arm Controller issue…

2013-05-16T22:44:43-08:00

Hello,
I am having an issue with the Advanced Biped Rig (I have also tried the regular biped rig).
I have followed numerous tutorials on how to build the thing and when I try and animate it
I can only get the feet, legs and hands to move, the Arm controllers seem to be locked.
Yes I have animate on. I’m not sure what I have missed here.
The arm controllers for both left and right arms will not rotate, or move at all.
I have tried building this rig at least 5 times and I am frustrated beyond belief.
It’s probably something I am doing wrong.
It can’t be this hard.
Animation is difficult as it is, I don’t need controller issues to boot.
I deleted the rig to start once more, so I don’t have the file.
I am in R14.014.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Controlling the fresnal in the light for spotlight

Is there a way to control the falloff or the focusing of the spot lights in Cinema?

Do you have to use an IES light for this?

Is it possible to cut a cube with a mesh?

2013-05-15T01:14:16-08:00

I have some topographical meshes that I’ve made from downloaded digital elevation maps.

I’d like to “slice” a cube with one so I wind up with a solid that has the topo map as its upper surface. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks
