Dweeble Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Involute gears. There are probably easier ways to get gear models but hey. Spur and helix only because if I have to look at more math I only barely grasp I'll cry. I'll maybe come back for bevel/hypoid/planetary/worm some other time. I'm a hobbyist and this marks the first time I've shared anything with anyone so... my horn, toot, etc. Not blackboxed or anything if you want to have a gander. Peace. buildgear.hdalc Edited October 19, 2021 by Dweeble Changed title 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweeble Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Curve bundles. If anyone has pro-tips on how to realize Imageworks' version I would really love to hear it! I wanted to try building bundles of non-intersecting curves like the Mimics from Edge of Tomorrow. Kind of hacky since I couldn't replicate their approach, and now I've written myself into a corner. I wanted to integrate KineFX but I'm not up to it yet, so the whole bundle is driven by a curve deform. Couldn't find anything similar so dropping it here. Sony Imageworks presentation on how they built the mimics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiKeTPL6HPk https://gfycat.com/earnestmasculinedogfish coilingtendrils5.hiplc Edited October 19, 2021 by Dweeble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) @Dweeble Thank you for sharing knowledge Some investigation resource maybe gonna be useful for you !!!! On Born digital web site you have Asian Book ( book its from 2017-Vex -Sop with files) that have very nice method on doing exactly that motion. Than on GitHub you have wonderful otl for Kinefx from Abrakadabra Studio . On Vimeo you have file and video I would do that motion with wire-solver and chops ..because its more like "crazy octopus" some see-creature motion...I think.. or just wait on H19 it gonna have some nice ex in Help section(kineFX and vellum) for making very interesting stuff. I know 100% Edited October 19, 2021 by Librarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
