Non-compensated scale on a child joint makes its rotate wrong if parent joint has a non-uniform scal
I'm facing an issue on which I can't seem to find any answer (google/forums...) when it comes to import a quite simple setup : * One joint that has a non-uniform scale on it (like (0.7;1,2;1,3)) * Its child joint, which rotates and doesn't have the option "Segment Scale Compensate" ticked in Maya (so the rotate will behave… -
Re: Texture /photo straightening techniques?
Sorry, with "straightening" I didn't want to sound odd in any way, my apologies, I merely tried to use it in a wider sense as an umbrella term describing not only unwrapping perspective projection into front ortho one but also making the image ready for tile-able texture and have regularly spaced repeating details ,… -
Re: [WIP] DBAL-A3 — CAD-to-Game / Mid-poly Workflow (Internal Mechanics)
First off, welcome to Polycount! Secondly, it's not good form to criticize someone providing feedback. If you don't like the feedback, you are free to ignore it of course. However, sacboi is a knowledgeable member with a lot of experience building hardsurface assets, so it would benefit you to at least keep an open mind,… -

Nice job :+1: "...quite possibly first piece completed ever without giving it the usual treatment of "saving and forgetting about it". Heh wish I could say the same. -
Workflow question: generating height/normal before Substance
Hey folks, I’m doing some R&D around Substance workflows and automated texture map generation,mostly as a side experiment. In some cases (quick scans, old assets, noisy photos) I found myself missing a fastway to extract usable height/normal information before bringing things intoSubstance Designer/Painter. So I built a… -
Re: How long do your 3D projects take to complete?
1 - 6 months, sometimes more if i am like, .. "well i do not know this thing right now" & either have to figure it out myself or use someone else's solution for it, which i usually do not do. A calculated time-frame I've never really done, i heard about all them timers but how 100% accurate are they really and you have to… -
Re: Handling Chamfers in the UV's
Like said, it depends, especially for the chamfers. Do you need cuts for normal maps because of hard edges? What's more visible? How much distortion and size scale changes are you willing to deal with? Personally, I'd probably do something like this: "a" can be straightened out without any distortion, the inner and outer… -

Re: Need help with weapon measurements clarification (Mossberg 590A1)
@Lemenus when modeling firearms you usually start with the cartridge because that gives you the diameter of the barrel and from there you can extrapolate most dimensions. For Mossberg 590A1, it's 12-gauge so I looked up the bore diameter for that and another search gave me the outer barrel diameter as well. Knowing the… -
Re: Why outrourcing studio doesnt give creditis to artists?
a multitude of reasons are possible here - strict clauses in contracts on client side forbidding it- cooperations on even higher up level than client side forbidding it- marketing might want a word in each and every bit of official info out there, complicating it all- outsourcers not negotiating in favor of "their" artists…
