Hi,
I am trying to rig an umbrella in Modo, I've already created the rig and model of one spoke using an IK handle. I now want to duplicate the spoke 8 times in a radial array with its rig.
I have already made an assembly group for the spoke rig in the schematic viewport, but when I make an instance of the assembly I can only mirror it.

How do I make 8 instances of the assembly group evenly spaced around 360 degrees?

Thank you, any advice is much appreciated!]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 04:31:43 +0000 http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=1103442 Posted By: CGmonkey

So, I've been playing around with the pixar Subd vertex weight map and after awhile it craps out. What ends up happen is that when I move the object on component level, this happens and I can't control the weight anymore.

Any ideas?]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:01:13 +0000 http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=1102206 Posted By: proton

This was a fun challenge and helped get me up to speed a little more with rigging in Modo, something I'm just starting to get into.

I wanted to create a rig for this useless contraption: http://vimeo.com/38801291

Textutre Offset is a new layer effect type that allows any texture map values to displace those of another layer. I use this option all the time to help reduce a procedural texture from looking too “procedural” or clean. In this short video tutorial, I show how Texture Offset can bring a little more realism when using the Brick texture. Click the link below to access video:

Hi guys,

So I added a custom layout to the layout switcher (or rather it happened automatically when I created the layout) and deleted my layout since then but it is still visible under the layout switcher (the ctrl + tab one). I can't find a way to remove it from that list, does anyone know how to do this?

Cheers!]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:16:35 +0000 http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=1101126 Posted By: proton

Hey everybody, I need your guys help!

How can I make those "waves" on my can?



I tried with BEVEL but it looks so hard in the middle, and that's not what I want.
It have to be something soft, but with "3 sides", something like this "~" (but vertically hehe) and not like this ] or this )... I know it seems hard to understand but that's the only way I found to explain haha]]> Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:39:43 +0000
