Re: Maya Nurbs Face Modelling from a sphere?
NURBS scare me . I tried to model a vehicle using Maya NURBS once and got so confused and frustrated that I gave up and started over with polygons. The NURBS learning curve is a lot steeper than that of polygon modeling. -
Re: [Portfolio]
For the first environment, I would say get some bigger sculpted details to help your normals pop more. This will also help break up the lighting on the surfaces and help to contrast against the high frequency detail. For the manor area, I like the detail you have on the ground. The decals, leaves, and brick textures mesh… -
Re: Hardware tessellation and topology
R_fletch_r - In theory, yes, but I reckon you'll need a whole lot of tesselations to get a decent amount of polygons to dynamically grow an entire tree - and I think hair would be even more expensive (I think using splines will be feasible in the close future, though). It could, however be used in combination with a simple… -
Re: Construction Site
While technically (fairly) accurate, your modeling doesn't lend any insight to your modeling ability beyond placing primitive shapes. As in, it's all boxes and cylinders. Throwing around this level of polygonal detail I would at least expect some close up of custom model work of mechanical bits on the crane, for example.… -
Re: translate uvmap from UV pos to another in 3dsmax?
Grab the UV shell(s), to be safe do this in polygon with select element mode enabled (next to polygon button at the bottom left), press w, then type in 1 (or -1 if you want it to in the other direction) down here. -
Xnormal baking ALL map types as i do diffuse?
Hello I had a scan, few milion polygons, i "converted" this (retopo etc.) into a lower poly version of 10 000 polygon and Diffuse, Displacement (32 bit EXR) and Normals maps (the "standard one" - purple-ish :-) ). I deleted the original scan. Now i "discovered" that i would like to have also even lower poly version of this… -
i have an error in my model with shadows
i have this tipe of shadows in my model its like polygonal or squre shadow i try use standard and photometric light but the problem still there, i try it flip polygons but i cant fix the problem thanks a lot for your helping :) -
Art Test Dimensions
Alright, I just got an art test guideline and it states: "Structure polygon count: 5000. Please provide one LOD that is ~1500-2500 polygons." Now, does that mean a 5000 tri structure or does it mean 1500-2500? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. -
Handheld Model - Rock Golem
Hey Guys, Its Final Year at University :| We have to model a Hand held character model to the same art style as Darksiders 2, below are some of the criteria we have to follow Character limitations are as follows. (Counts are in triangles NOT polygons)1) Triangle Count of 20002) Character must be designed with an Action /… -
simple zbrush Normal map tutorial
hey all! so lets say you are making an environment, but your meshes are looking a bit flat and polygon starved. well rest easy! I'm here to tell you that the solution is not to add more polygons, but to put about 20-30 minutes more effort and attention into your normal map. lets have a look at some examples: this mesh is…
