[Texture] Baking Tileable Normal Maps Automatic Rigging and Animation of 3D Characters Automatic Rigging and Animation of 3D Characters Ilya Baran & Jovan Popović Paper: PDF (SIGGRAPH 2007) Video: AVI (DivX 6, 76MB, with sound) Supplement: PDF Code: Our C++ source and a Windows binary can be found here. Introduction Animating an articulated 3D character currently requires manual rigging to specify its internal skeletal structure and to define how the input motion deforms its surface. Method Our method consists of two main steps: skeleton embedding and skin attachment. Designing a good penalty function is quite difficult because it must penalize many different embedding deficiencies: short bones, improperly oriented bones, asymmetry, etc. Results Our prototype system, called Pinocchio, can typically rig input characters in under a minute. To keep our evaluation objective, we tested Pinocchio on 16 biped characters (built by an artist using Cosmic Blobs) that we did not see or use during development.

3ds Max 2011's Viewport Canvas - Tips and Tricks 3ds Max 2011's new viewport canvas has been completely redesigned to offer a true 3D layer based paint system right within the application. In this blog post, i'll show you a few tips and tricks regarding the viewport canvas. You'll see how to add custom brushes, how to work with your favorite 2D paint program and the viewport canvas together, use light maps from render to texture in the viewport canvas layers and you'll learn the basic workflow for matte painting with viewport canvas. Introduction and Custom Brushes The first video covers the basics of working with Viewport Canvas and show how to create custom paint brushes. PSD Workflow and Using Render to Texture with Viewport Canvas This second video covers the workflow between paint applications using the PSD file format. Viewport Canvas and Render Surface Map In this video, see how to paint only on selected areas in order to restrict the effect of the paint stroke. Matte Painting and Viewport Canvas
3DS Max & Unity - The best way to import a Multi/Sub-Object Material You should learn to use a few things. Yes you are right starting with multisubobject sometimes it is easier to create interesting surfaces with multiple materials using tiling etc . (If your model is simple like a house with four walls and a roof you could directly work on an unwrapped surface with unwrap uvw modifier and photoshop but if it is more complicated you should work with a texture paint tool or multisub- object as you did, ) BUT BUT now that you have a multisub-object You have to apply an 'unwrap UVW modifier' create a 2nd texture channel on top of your 'uv maped' multisuboject mesh. This should include all you models UVs in one square (one image). The way you unwrap should be propotional for all surfaces but keep in mind that some places of your model could be more interesting and some others might be perfect to just assign them in one pixel. Then you have to bake the textures in one. It is a bit complicated but in all 3d applications is a bit of a tricky task. Good luck.
