Re: Baked high to low normal map has seams in Arnold CPU render on all hard edges.

@gnoop I can confirm raytracing works fine in Marmoset 4.06 with UV splits on all hard edges in the normal map, I just tried it to make sure and it's seamless without the Arnold bug. I also tested all soft edges and that works fine too, so you can pretty much set the normals however you like in Marmoset and it comes out correct.

@FomoFighter Thanks for the suggestion, I used Unreal professionally for 8 years at the end of my career when I was working on Gears of War 4 and 5. I prefer something lighter weight than Unreal these days when doing prop renders so I switched to Marmoset.

Hey guys, first time participating in a challenge like this, but I tried my best. I got the initial idea from one of the listed concepts and chose to switch up some colors and materials to make it seem more interesting. First time doing something like this... Thanks

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (95)

I do it slowly, here is the update for this abandoned staircase scene.

I basically continue on doing Whitebox for the scene, mainly the walls and the stairs, and also apply some materials just to get a initial feeling of the floor and the wall. For the next step will keep working on the Whitebox of the large window at second floor and debris on second floor and first floor, and other props in the scene.

I haven't really been able to sculpt in some time. Or model, at that. Things haven't been going so well on that front. But I have a little time at the moment, so I'm trying. Lately, I've been trying to think more in terms of the planes of the body, rather than fixating on anatomy so much. If I can understand those and use them properly, then things should turn out better than just focusing on anatomy as anatomy. I'm still making too many fucking errors, though. Need to sort my time out so I can get back on track with everything.

Still no closer to ditching that perfectionism, though.

Re: AR-15 SLR

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

kosh3d - Thanks! Haha yea 😅

Love your engine man, crazy clean work.

I'm using a basic sub-d workflow in max, chamfer modifier for some of the support loops and then manual loops and clean-up. I just like the control you have with that.

Looking into the Marmoset bevel shader workflow as well as plasticity for the future though.
