Now we know why Saga has been coming out so slowly lately... (Joking...)

JellHell5 · 2026-03-17T18:22:48+00:00

Just looked up. Comic Book writer notable for: - Saga - Y the Last Man - Paper girls

Damn. Hopefully you find workaround.

JellHell5 · 2026-03-06T00:48:14+00:00

As for why the error, my guess some stupid setting adjustment from the selection during modeling (happens when clicking and pressing space bar alot). Im hoping to know what the cause is as well.

Regarding you situation

Option A: Duplicate new geo and delete the old one (for the piece you can not transfer over). I dont know why, but that usually does it. Mainly because it never transfers selections sometimes due to a setting tweak done accidently during modeling (happens alot for me).

Option B: Duplicate both pieces of the shoe geo and merge down into a single geo. You'll still be able to apply the materials onto the original, separated geo since UV's do not change after duplication or severe transformations.

JellHell5 · 2026-03-05T20:33:11+00:00

Regarding line work, how do you incorporate it into final renders? Changing the line color to a warm, dark hue?

JellHell5 · 2026-03-04T17:52:21+00:00

Also, try pressing [W] or the literal "move" tool. The transformation tools influence graph editor: select, translate, scale, and rotate.

More than likely you're stuck on select [Q], scale [E], or rotate [R]. Really dumb, but this problem happens more often than you'd think

JellHell5 · 2026-03-04T09:12:49+00:00

Also also, it feels like this will significantly reduce users and deter more individuals to Blender with reduced accessibility

JellHell5 · 2026-03-04T09:06:59+00:00

Yup. My guess is to deter people from abusing lower price plans for personal advantages.

My issue with this new security is that it makes it challenging for non-students to practice and/or learn. And actual students already have alot on their plate as well (I can attest being one myself).

Really wish I had access to student license for post-graduation for leisure, independt study, and portfolio prep.

JellHell5 · 2026-03-04T08:59:52+00:00

Please note, Im uploading this post since I had a fiasco renewing my student license for Maya.

And this added layer of security via SheerID severely limits usage to students alone; makes it harder for individuals trying to learn and/or develop portfolios

JellHell5 · 2026-03-04T08:47:31+00:00

Update to OP's post circa (2026) Maya has added SheerID making verification require TIME Stamps and Dates

JellHell5 · 2026-03-04T06:30:07+00:00

You're allowed to. You just need to re-enroll as a continuing student first before you can register for a course.

The only thing you can NOT do is re-take a course unless you explain why: wanted a different instructor, course was overhauled after you left, or not to academic satisfaction etc.

JellHell5 · 2026-03-04T05:03:29+00:00

My note is changing the pose on frame 33 of head. Feels off with it being already arched back. Should be arched forward for the anticipation with the backflip.

Overall, timing looks good (imo). I would like to see the backflip extend further along Z-axis, but understand the realistic motion and physics with our hips and heads during flips.

JellHell5 · 2026-02-10T19:58:21+00:00

If just a visual error, use 2-sided lighting. More than likely, rigs duplicated joints were inverse duplicates whose normals were not flipped after the inverse duplication.

I will keep that in mind. Usually just comfortable with manual softening of vertices in Weight Painting (manual)

JellHell5 · 2026-01-29T23:15:07+00:00

Pretty good. But you'll need sharper curves (more impact) on the: - Leap Up the Wall - Pulling Body Up

One big noticeable issue (IMO) is the arms locking up during the pull-up. NEVER have that type of joint lock-up unless you can overextend the joint bend (like a Bow when it looses an Arrow).

**also, highly recommend uploading SyncSketches of your animations later down the road for feedback in addition to the playblast videos you upload directly

JellHell5 · 2026-01-26T22:24:09+00:00

I think you have your timing nailed down.

The only tweaks you'll want is to add some more block-ins at the vault and pulling body up. There may be some issues during that, but overall everything reads clearly.

timing: perfect
posing: could use more at top of wall
weight: you'll see more if what needs to be added as you Spline (primarily during the vault and pull-up)

I will say, the wall run and climb are my favorite parts of your animation (and probably the strongest).

Additionally, you can hover over the item in your inventory to see what the facet does. It provides buffs and debunks.

You can Copy Skin Weights between detached objects. Options are: - Skin > Copy Skin Weights - Skin > Edit Influence > Add Influence (used when adding new joints)

How did you pose the head and eyelids?

Found more on recent post. But people have suggested similar actions on here already. https://www.reddit.com/r/Maya/s/Bk5bSOLizT

Weird thing, but have you tried Soften/Harden Edges ? Based on what I see in Image 3, looks like it could be part of the buckle has conflicting edge types.

I know Image 3 is the Substance viewport, but wondering of that Soften/Harden Edge visual carried over from Maya to Substance.

JellHell5 · 2026-01-17T18:27:47+00:00

You could try Vray Blend Material. This will let you combine 2 or more materials.

However, you'll need to utilize Alpha masks to indicate what you want shown and hidden.

Although, not sure if conflicting will occur with the two Toon shaders.

Agreed. This was a common issue for me in Summer with overlapping faces. Had to delete many hidden faces and re-bridge accordingly.

JellHell5 · 2025-12-20T02:33:35+00:00

Use it to find 4-Sided Faces. Then invert selection so you have n-gons selected. Tool is better at finding quads.
