If you really think about it, if you look at a brick in real life. How would you make that in 3dsmax? It's not really realistic to model every little microdetail that a brick has with a mouse in a standard modeling application. Nor will it get you very far to click 1 button for a cube and apply some photo source texture on…
Here's an example of a "high poly" model. Basically, for normal-mapping, you use subdivided (Meshsmoothed) polygon geometry, and use a plugin or application to render the meshsmoothed version of the model down onto an "in-game" resolution mesh. Between 3000-7500 polys sounds about right for the in-game model, but there's…
We also have to keep in mind the statistic data, as the survey only had about 2,300 participants, and over half is from the USA. Any percentages taken from that might not reflect reality since that’s an incredibly small sample size to make such statements. I would take it with a grain of salt and only apply that data to…

Hey Ryan, I've been using CrazyBump almost daily and I've got some suggestions and comments off the top of my head. Firstly, I've noticed it seems to be 'chugging' now and not running as smoothly as previous builds. The 3D preview screen has had a lot of improvements, but why can't I open or close it on my own whim? It's…

It's actually pretty hard to compare the 2 because of how they fundamentally differ in terms of technology. Mari paints on a 2d screen buffer that is then applied as a screen projection on the model, where Painter projects stamps directly on geometry in real time. Mari's paint strokes are baked in after a stroke, while…
Hello all - bumping this up as I'd be curious to know if any better solution has been found. Transferring the desired normals from the original unsplit model is indeed the way to go and what I've been doing for a while, but it is quite prone to user error and convoluted overall especially when dealing with multiple cuts…
