Texturing tip 101

I switched the title of my youtube texture videos and I’ve added 1 more few days ago.

Posing the character

 

After I’ve finished the course. I’ve gone back to work on this model.  I ditched all the designs that I’ve been planning to do months ago.  Im not a good costume designer.  Maybe I should just leave it as casual outfit.

I used to use the biped rig from XSI to pose my character.   After trying different ways of posing(including mudbox and zbrush, transpose master,etc)  I finally gone back to softimage and make my own rig.  Since Im not going to animate her.  I set my right by simple parenting and FK.   Using linear spline as the bone structure.  It works quite good.  I dont even have to do much on extra fine tune when I transfer back to the highres.

Driving instructor trainning

I’ve been busying on taking a course for applying a driving instructor licence and not have much time creating tutorials.  Hopefully I’ll b able to continue after so.

repeatable texture tutorial

Another tutorial on texturing.  Im hoping to get at least 1 tutorial done in every 2 weeks on either making computer graphics or photography.  Next would probably continue making further layer on how to texture sets(big surface).  Stay toon!~

Mosy Mount Unboxing

Few weeks ago a representative of Mosy Mount has sent me a copy of Mosy mount.  I’ve tried it on and its pretty awesome as an iphone tripod.  They have different sizes and it doesn’t have to be iphone. The mount can mount on any regular tripod or video camera tripod.  As I promise that I’ll do a review on it and here it is.  http://www.mosymount.com/

Pros: Strong Construction, Adjustable, Comfortable, Well Padded

Cons: Difficult to Attach

Was this a gift?: Yes

ITs the best strap ever. I removed the nikon strap right away. Its secure, comfort, and great. The only thing that I’d complain would be the 1/4 screw maybe too long for my handstrap. Cuz I have added a nikon handstrap onto my D700 with grip. Some how the screw hole of the handstrap is some what not deep enough to fit in the black rapid. But an easy fix is to buy a small 1/4 rubber washer from homedepot which will add to the existed washer which make it work.
