need ideas!
 
i need ideas on how to model a good basketball net.. i'll take any ideas thanks..

Does it need to deform properly, or is this just a modelling question?

twisteddragon33 28-02-2011 05:47 PM

also how close to the camera will the net be? does it have to be high quality close render?

gtovey 28-02-2011 05:52 PM

well i am going to animate a bball going through the net soo it does to need to be able to interact with the ball.. and the camera wont be very close soo it doesnt have to be too high quality but it does have to look good.

make a poly pipe. switch to side view create a profile curve for the net. do a revolve. convert to poly. make sure there are enough polygons for it to deform nicely. make it cloth and select the top row of vertices. transform constrain them to the pipe. drop a sphere through the pipe. :)


would that not work?

gtovey 28-02-2011 11:14 PM

i'll try that right now i think i understand wat ur sayin if i cant figure it out i'll let u know and ask for a more detailed way to do that hah thanks tho

gtovey 28-02-2011 11:33 PM

ok that doesnt work or im doing it wrong i dont know!!

honestdom 01-03-2011 09:58 AM

i guess you did it wrong.
what did you do?

gtovey 01-03-2011 03:34 PM

well i tried to do wat u said... but i dont think i understand the whole profile curve part i mean i know how to revolve and convert.. and make into a cloth.. but wat does the curve revolved hae anything to do with the other pipe? thats where i think i got lost.

honestdom 01-03-2011 04:26 PM

hoop video
is this what you mean?
the curve was just to make the net part and the pipe was for the rim.

you can spend more time on this obviously. try some of the cloth presets or something.

I'll try capturing a video of it... I got something slightly close-ish.

stwert 05-03-2011 02:58 AM

Okay, I captured my first (yay) maya capture creating a net, which I think is sorta okay, but not great. It's uploading on youtube, massive file oops, so I'll post a link when it's done. Hope it's at least mildly helpful for you.
