you mean the head moves? like, all the verts? if this is so, check the scale and placement of all verts. it if is off-scale, then it wont work. it will assume that every vert is in a nwe location and it will move it to where it needs to be. if the vert is in its origional spot then it will not translate it.

#922

I see, don’t know if you worked it out ?

Gerry is in Jon’s hands now, so what ever works for him.

That problem can be caused if you imported it into max as one object
then broke them apart… they have to be imported as separate objects
with the exact same pivot point and point of origin.
A bit hard to pin point without seeing exactly how or what you did to get it into max and set it up.

Jon what do you need to get the face morphs set up ?
Let Rich know so he is not killing him self to do it my way.

Sorry for the trouble Rich.

#923

oh shoot, is that what hes doign?> i just set it up, baked the verts, and the morphs work fine. it helps i don’t use the scale tool when rigging. i use the xform modifier. that moves verts in sub-d mode, not using the e-scale thingy. and i have gottten in the habbit of resetting scales/transforms/pivots etc. all the time, yeah, didn’t have a problem. i think they work, all except for the first one can’t remeber which one that is. but the rest of them work.

yeah, don’t know what i just typed. hope it made sense. just a little brain dead from writing essays and junk. well. gotta get back to teh funn-ness . peace out guys.

#924

lol well I think u are right the beach was better :twisted:

#925

Hey Guys,

Glad you got it sorted, I figured it was something to do with time import so thats probably what it was. I asked a few guys on IRC and they mentioned the resetting the XForm but as I don’t know what that is I thought I would leave it, so that would probably have fixed it for me.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Cheers
Richard

tell me if it is done so that I can upload it

The crayons look GREAT Tony!
…just dropping in so not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but the crayon logo doesn’t look right with the taper you have on it…I’d take out the barcode on the front to make room for a big, straight crayon logo/text.
Just my 2cents. Looks great overall, you make progress with each new job you do. :thumbsup:

#928

Ha, Tony and I just spoke on MSN about exactly what you said “SD” . So Tony knows what he has to do :thumbsup:

Thanks for the input… It makes me look like less of an jerk :stuck_out_tongue:

#929

softdistortion : always keeping my spirit up :scream: thanks friend

I hope that u guys like this update :smiley:

#930

yep better, take off the taper effect on the word crayons.

Upload it anyway I will put it in the shot and see how it looks.

If you need to do changes then all you have to do is send the maps.

Thanks, good job :slight_smile:

#931

…need all the help you can get, huh?. :smiley: :slight_smile:

thebest- Positive attitude is already 100% success! :buttrock:

#932

Big O the file is up now :bounce:

softdistortion and Postive crits makes 100% success also :thumbsup:

#933

Hi Tony… I got the file it works fine.

However the export is as TRIs and it should be QUADs.

I can work with it still, but just so that you know that is why we use the .obj format.

I’ll try to put it in the shot now.

See ya.

#934

oh sorry for that will solve it and then reupload…sorry again :smiley:

#935

Yea, it’s been awhile since my last update. Just so you all know I’m still pushing at it.

Tony great job on the crayon textures and Jozef great job on the model.

Tony here are your updates to work on.

You have a choice to make a total of 10 colours of crayons,
OR you can make a total of 8 crayons and then change the number to 8 on the box.
Also you will have to take all the stuff you put on the bottom
of the box and move it to the side that we see facing the camera.

AND DON"T FORGET TO CHANGE THE WORD “CRAYONS” WITHOUT THE TAPER EFFECT ! :rolleyes:

Oh by the way that was a really great idea you had to put some of the rubbed off crayon
colours on the inside of the box cover. :thumbsup:

If you click the image below you will see a video test I did to block out the shot.
You will also see the start of the note pad 2D animation.
The final shot will have the boys hands in the shot drawing on the pad.
All the text that is in RED will be animated as the boy writes on the paper.

That is it for now.

#936

Looking nice guys. :applause:

#937

I will go for 10 crayons I think …let`s make it a crowded scene:twisted: …updates soon

ok I will remove the taper effect and then add zizag effect :twisted:

==========================================================
about the notepad u putted boxes over each other ?
I was supposed to model a newspaper for a friend but it was harder than it looked :smiley:

#938

Oh yea… many tricks for paper stacks… I used one big box with edges extruded inward at the sides.
and one plane for the top sheet so that I can put a page curl in the corner.

But alot of planes with a big box to fill the cracks works pretty good.

#939

nice idea mate and looks pretty good indeed

I uploaded the new maps

#940

is that the silence before the storm or what ???!!!
