DELL partA (VIDEO TUTORIAL)
Added 2023-03-01 18:50:42 +0000 UTCHappy month everyone!
First day of 2023 spring and first part of the Dell Alienware project is up and running. I got some surprises for this month, stay tuned!
As usual let me know in the comments below if you have any questions or what you think.
Cheers,
T.

thanks! yes i will do more of these. In fact I am preparing live workshops with this topic (early announcement here haha)

2023-11-24 07:01:46 +0000 UTCAmazing! Love the art direction process and how you build your Creative Deck. Are you considering to do more tutorials in that direction? I would love to learn and hear from your experience. Thanks for sharing!

2023-11-24 05:08:46 +0000 UTCWill do it more often when i have briefs like this, thanks!

2023-06-29 05:26:48 +0000 UTCreally enjoyed the start where you discuss getting the brief and interpreting it and coming up with your actual ideas!

2023-03-29 07:44:36 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this a lot. I've been working on some variations of particles wrapping around a bust and a hand and the edge selection trick is a total game changer for me. Really great tip! Enjoyed the breakdown of your AD process too! It's not something that's talked about often enough and it's great to hear how you approach things in those early stages.

2023-03-26 01:36:31 +0000 UTCLove you project breakdowns dude, Im a design geek so running through the pitch-deck is always fun. Can't wait for Part 2!

2023-03-25 15:25:01 +0000 UTCThey dont break the sim. They are too big on frame 1 and they intersect and xp delays/stucks when trying to solve intersections. Go to display tab and change the mode to spheres so u see their radius so u start understanding whats causing this. Other than that my advice is do not work in real world scale in general for multiple reasons, esp for sims. As in my experience particles below scale of 1 will cause issues if u complicate setups. Cheers!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-18 17:21:13 +0000 UTChmmm okay dropping particle scale to 0.01 cm rathen than 0.1cm fixes that issue. My hand scale is 100% real world size so not sure what happened there. Particle scale makes or breaks a sim in XP.

2023-03-18 17:16:47 +0000 UTCHey mate, yep something wrong on ur end. Cpu doesnt matter this isnt a calculation intensive task. Check the normals of ur object. In fact debugging 101: use a sphere and do same thing and u ll see how ur cpu behaves :)
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-18 17:01:19 +0000 UTCas soon as I add xpcollider tag to my hand the particles will linger around thhand and crawl up surface. takes awhile for them to blow away. Something tto do with direction o the selections...
Luke Wills
2023-03-18 16:42:31 +0000 UTCAlready did and got a first great result. Wish I could post pictures here to show.. I'll learn a bit of rigging next. Thanks!

2023-03-09 15:07:06 +0000 UTCthanks! yea human parts are less tricky than in the past. Check out the 3dscanstore.com for the best quality out there!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-09 13:59:49 +0000 UTCLove this breakdown and as always you dispel the fear of thinking something like this is not possible. I work with jewelry, but have been too scared to render something with a human models, like a ring on a finger for example, as I feared it would look too CG. Time to go and buy some body parts! 😄
James Shannon
2023-03-09 10:06:37 +0000 UTCExactly! The only reason I am exploring style frames and art direction.

2023-03-04 11:15:15 +0000 UTCcheers bud, i think its super important to start thinking other than technicals!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-04 11:08:11 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing your thought process, Cheers!

2023-03-04 11:07:36 +0000 UTCthanks bud hahahaha pulling apart diapers made me laugh so much lol
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-03 23:07:09 +0000 UTCJust seeing this - cool stuff! I think I have that same hand from 3D scan store? Had to use it to rig and pull apart diapers this week actually - client loved it, they have nice scans - had to clone out quite a bit of freckles and a scar on the wrist though, I get realistic but we don’t need scars and such lol I digress.. I just ordered a 40 series m18 Alienware last week maybe I’ll make this my wallpaper when it arrives lol - nice introduction though on the deck and creative 🤘

2023-03-03 23:03:28 +0000 UTCThank you. Yea if u see that u go to the extremes too often, take a step back and re evaluate ur approach. Like in all simulation systems, ur initial setup being proper can u get u to the finish line. Eg. if u use a forcefield with random vectors vs turbulence or use a follow path vs a forcefield with a spline. Which one would u prefer? I always do these small checks with different methods on same visual results and I choose the one that keeps performance higher, as this will be the one that will scale better. ps. yes i will do lighting/materials breakdown!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-02 00:12:41 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this a lot. I always go to the extreme when working with particles and you have an innate ability to keep it simple and get amazing results. I always get too complicated, and my results are always weak. Will you be going over the texturing and lighting of the particles at all? Thanks again.

2023-03-01 23:44:59 +0000 UTCMan, the jokes are killin me :-D. Love it! . And thank you for another amazing 'behind the scenes'!

2023-03-01 23:39:02 +0000 UTCthanks! No it was "Ex Machina"! i had to google it im getting older :)
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-01 22:51:17 +0000 UTCGreat break down of the work flow but I especially enjoyed the insite into your creative process. By any chance was it Alita ,Battle Angel you were searching for?
Benjamin Parker
2023-03-01 21:51:49 +0000 UTCthank you! more to come!!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-01 20:39:23 +0000 UTCThank you for the excellent breakdown from the client pitch deck to your style frame thinking and the C4D breakdown to tackle the shots.
Hoi
2023-03-01 20:38:56 +0000 UTCcheers bud! yea i thought it would be useful for a lot of people to talk about what u get vs what u give out
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-01 20:21:30 +0000 UTCnice and quite simple technique. many times i have tried to control the flow of the particles around object. i think i have never used the xpdirection modifier...:D thanks for the tip. and the styleframes and talking about the project, and how to get started is also very interesting.
