It's nonsecenes to think that people arent doing this. It's in every car commercial, and some movies. I figured it out btw, but it's not ready yet. I'm gonna need to make a mel script to control the...

I think its rather odd that no one has figured out how to do this yet. or at least no one posted it. Its all over the place, ie. the movie cars, ca commercials, demo reels. How do they get those cars...

Thanks for the info Djknucklez1, but I'm looking for something more like rigid body dynamics. Although thats an interesting link, I dont see the relationship between that and a car driving. I need...

Hi guys. Anyone know the best way to animate a car so that you can control its acceleration and direction from steering-like controls. It's a rigid body object that has to be influenced by collisions...

Oh BTW I figured this stupid problem out. When Maya 6 imports an OBJ you need to change its render stats for Final Gather rays to bounce. Just in case annyone else didnt know.

well since you posted this in the nurbs section. try looking up patch modeling in maya on google or yahoo. The currnt trend is using displacement maps btw. Best used with polygons or sub-d's. If your...

carefull with the word, Infinite. Remember that your system resources have to generate that geometry. Lets see if we can take this apart in steps.

1. Planets are round- so even though you might...

Here is the file Gster123. As i said earlier, the only way i was able to fix it was to convert to sub D. Being able to use the obj without adding geometry would save me a lot of time. thanks for your...

notice that the obj straight from zbrush doesnt create any occlusion on the plane beneath it. The sphere is there for control in the experiment.

Anyone know if there is a way to clean the ZBrush obj's so that Final Gather works with them. I'm trying to do this without adding geometry. When i do a convert to subD then back to poly i get more...
