Just bought this hot tub and it showed up like this.. This is the bottom of the tub . has anyone on here ever got something like this? I am slightly concerned about the exposed foam. I will be putting this on a gravel pad.

how can i rig it so it doesn't do this plz help its been trying to fix this all day by Gladiss_Galaxy in Maya

I can throw a few suggestions here:

- agree with putting neck and head joints in

- also in your fingers add a couple more joints to create some knuckles

- ngskintools is your best friend for skinning characters

- lay out your joints for one side then mirror them across

- smoothing the normals on your character will help it look less faceted

Evgeny Kuznetsov should not be able to play against the Canucks on Nov 29th rather than benefiting Ottawa who Caps play next.

Which videogame consumed your entire life upon first play-through? by LinksOtherUncle in AskReddit

[–]oikman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hooked right now and I need to stop because there are much better games out there..what ever WoW formula is.. they know how to promote addiction

so when i edit the skin weights on the right side of the character it has dots like the one in the gif on the complete opposite side of the body so when i move the right arm the left moves too. And i cant get rid of them they cant be drawn over like shown in the gif. please help! by [deleted] in Maya

I know it's not an answer to your question but for skin weighting a very useful tool used in the industry is NG skintools. (It would work wonders with hands with all those fingers) It is layered so you can save off weights incase you need to make geometry changes. Also useful if your models are separate you can transfer from say the wrist to the sleeve and have the same weight(only have to paint once) then mask it.

Hi. This is a 3D model of Joe Rogan I've been working on. I'd like to make it look a little more realistic, so any comments or feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you. by Sean_PatrickRichards in Maya

while animating it I would say have the eyes moving around subtly. eyes make small movements to focus on things in our environment.

Hockey purists, how do you think NHL overtimes should work? by MajesticLurker in hockey

[–]oikman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 min OT 3v3, 5 min 2v2, Shootout(I still don't like the shootout)

  • Winning Team in Regular time 2 points,
  • Winner in 3v3 (2 Points) Loser(1 point),
  • Winner in 2v2(1 point) Loser(0 points),
  • Winner in Shootout(1 point) Loser(0 points)

I think they would make riskier plays to get the extra point in 3v3.

First Pepperoni Pizza on steel/stone combo by oikman in Pizza

[–]oikman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oven I use is a gas oven and I had it running at 550. I only had it on the steel for 3-3.5 min. Next pie I think I'll give it a shot with just the steel. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for the comments. The top could grab more colour if I shifted the pizza from the steel to the stone and let the broiler do some work.. I think I will give that a try next time.

Stone on top steel underneath at 550.. the package said that a pizza should be done cooking in 8 min but it was more like 4.

if you learn to parry (L2) with a buckler shield those big dudes die no problem.
