Re-skin hand


Domarius

Recommended Posts

Currently I'm trying to work this out myself (have skinned in 3DS but not Maya before) but I'm posting it here anyway, for everyone's info (and just in case there is some special reason for it being this way - can't imagine why though);

 

The finger joint that controls the rest of the fingers (not the pointer finger) is rigged bent for some reason, while the mesh of the hand is actually straight. So when you actually do go to bend the fingers in an animation, they collaps into the hand all weird.

You can see the "Middle finger" joint is bent - it needs to be unskinned from the hand, straightened, then reskinned back to the hand again.

Make sure you're using the updated hands. Those are the mitten-hands you've got there in that image, and we won't be using them anymore. In the full-fingered hands, the last three fingers ARE bent, to varying degrees.

As I said, the citywatch needs further work, since I haven't added the mitten hands yet. Both the builder guard and the commoner have them, however.

I'm confused, are we using mitten hands or full-fingered hands? In the last post (and in the one in the other thread), you mentioned mitten hands, but three posts above you say we aren't using them anymore?

Sorry, that's a pre-coffee post. I'm slowly replacing all the mitten hands with full-fingered hands. The commoner and builder guard both have them already, and I'm in the middle of adding them to the Thief and Builder Priest.

Me too. I'm still amazed at the difference sometimes when I run into a builder. :)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
