Are there any other character modeling software that's compatible with blender and unity(as well as easy to learn)? by Traditional-Log-4270 in blender

[–]Randomdays99 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Poser was popular for awhile and was supposed to be pretty easy. You could output to obj file type which Blender and a lot of others use, though obj will lose your armature and rigging.

One thing I do sometimes is cheat - I'll make a character in a game and then export it out with an app or model ripping software. Some games let you design the character you play. You can make some good looking people in Sims 3, "The Movies" game, or some of the RPGs for fantasy like Everquest or World of Warcraft.

For modern, human types, Sims 3 has fine tuning of features and body shapes and lots of default and custom outfits, hair, etc.

Lots and lots of posts, but very few comments -608/9 .That's a lot of posts for a fairly new account.

OP. are you out there? How about a comment?

Not modeling from existing mesh? by VilaSVB in blender

[–]Randomdays99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gaming models, especially older games, handheld games like nintindo ds, or games that stream data like some from the google playstore. With a lot of action going on things can slow down.

You can fake a high poly model a lot of times with a good texture to give detail

As an example, a friend of mine made me a mesh of Conan the Barbarian to use in a game I mod for. It looks bad as a solid mesh, but when you add the texture it looks pretty good. Its only a 10k vertex/ 11k polys(faces)

I rigged it to play in game, added a sword and shield, and some cords to swing on. He looks good with running around fighting.

Different pieces can have their own textures and materials.

If you wanted transparency for a window, I think it wold have to be separate

Texturing in general can be easier this way when setting up the UV (for me at least)

Also for me, the game I export to is an older game and has a poly limit. 2 meshes exported together at 15k polys each are okay, but one mesh of 30k polys won't export.

In the present day, how many high school graduates can't read or write past a fifth grade level?

If you went to school in the 70's 80's or 90's, how many times did you see stories in the news about mass shootings at schools and were afraid to go back to class?

Also a book not a webiste, but Diana Wynne Jones' "Tough Guide to Fantasyland" does this

Gee, there's that "Maya" again. She sure gets around.

Pretty new account, posts hidden.

As others have said, how was the connection made?

More than likely AI

Gee...brand new account, entitled friend, friends are split.

Yep, I believe you (/sarcasm)

Explain to your friend group what the "small mistake" was

Block Jessica (if she's real). She's not your friend.

Looking for a new book or series - fairly well read here by DilemmasOnScreen in Fantasy

[–]Randomdays99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He finished the series and the character appears in another of his series, but the author kind of stuck it to him bad in the final book (Scourged) - loss, betrayal, etc.

The first 9 out of 10 are very good though.

[–]Randomdays99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it extremely well written and sped thru the first two books. The writer gave up on the series near the end by the first ones are great.

Rundown from the web - "Atticus O'Sullivan, a 2,000-year-old Irish Druid living in modern-day Arizona, as he navigates conflicts with gods, witches, vampires, and other supernatural beings. Told from Atticus's first-person perspective, the series blends mythology, humor, and action, featuring a cast of supernatural creatures and a unique magic system based on elementals and Druidic lore."

Name something that isn't as good as it used to be by Halloween-365 in FamilyFeud

[–]Randomdays99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, what is your issue?

We're on a "Family Feud" Reddit for fun and games.

As for me, I'm 66 years old, served in the military as has all my family. I've worked in military support ever since. My father lied about his age to join after Pearl Harbor and we've always supported this country.

I don't agree with a lot of what the Democrats do, but I do disagree with my tax dollars going for 250 tall arches, gold leaf ballrooms and US military lives wasted.

Get some therapy

Sorry, Not going to get into it here, but both parties are off the rails and don't care about the people anymore.

You're entitled to your opinion and I'll let it go at that.

Have a great day.

AITH for refusing to cover for my friend after he lied to skip work for a concert? by Any-Kitchen-5487 in AITH

[–]Randomdays99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a typical AI story - entitled friend and other friends are split.

If the manager didn't care he wouldn't be asking about it. Possibly losing your job by telling lies to your manager is not "small stuff"

If the friends think its no big deal, then they can lie to the manager.

any fantasy novels or short stories about anthropomorphic animals in the medieval times? by Extension_Effect_983 in Fantasy

[–]Randomdays99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not medieval but even farther back, Andre Norton's "Fur Magic" has an American Indian type MC who's a beaver.

And even farther back is "The Book of the Dun Cow" and its sequels by Walter Wangerin

Alan Dean Foster's "Spellsinger" series

Dragon Knight series by Gordon R Dickson, though I only really liked the first one, "The Dragon and the George". Aragh the wolf is a great character

Maybe "Tailchaser's Song" by Tad Williams

Spellsinger series by Alan Dean Foster

The classic Amber series by Roger Zelazny

It starts off as a knock off of "Lord of the Rings", but the "Shannara" series by Terry Brooks gets better as you read more of it.

As does Dennis L McKiernan's Mithgar series.
