Exporting Smoothing information from Blender via FBX
Hello everyone! My name is David, I am an avid Blender user and a soon-to-be Games Design student. I have done a series of tests to see what is the easiest way to set up smoothing in Blender and how to correctly export that smoothing information in FBX format for later use in Unreal Engine 4. I would like to share the… -
Re: 3DsMax: UV along Splines.
There's a spline option in the unwrap. you need to generate a new spline from your mesh though. Maybe with the pelt ? textools has some useful tools too http://www.renderhjs.net/textools/ Now the dirty way i do it quickly : planar mapping select one uv edge loop break relax select one horizontal uv egde, ring+loop, align… -
Re: Clean bakes
well, i read it that you should use hard edges instead of having the normal map do the work for that, so you have a real hard edge in the model, i guess it runs in conjunction with number 1. i got that info btw from a pc thread on normal maps. seemed to the standard work that is suggested to folks when they have questions… -
Re: Sketchbook: DeusExMatteo
Dude! That game looks sweet! Will it be playable to the public? Nice work. I dig the styles... and quirkiness you inject at times is fun! Indeed... i was gonna say finish the space bug... and you did! Like it. edit... Maybe you can get a bit darker in the folds e.g. under edges round the metal plates, make the spec pop… -
Re: Nack: Single-Flash 16-bit Surface Scanning. Is Photogrammetry overkill for micro-details?
Great questions! Tiled textures: Yes, seamless tiling is definitely on the roadmap. I'm currently working on an algorithm for automatic edge-blending to ensure textures can be used on large surfaces without visible seams.PBR elements (Roughness/Metalness): The app already extracts high-quality Geometry (Normals/Depth) and… -
Re: [3dsmax] UVW seams to Smoothing Groups?
Here's a script "UV borders to hard edges". The algorithm is quite simple: 1) Select UV borders (used part of Renderhjs' script for Roadkill uwrapping) 2) Convert UV edges selection to EditPoly edges selection (Max is a real pain in the ass!) - my part of the script 3) Make smoothing groups in hard edges style (used script… -
Re: [UE5] Stylized watermill
Hey, looking good! I think the some surfaces are starting too look a bit busy (e.g. stone wall) partly due to exaggerated shading of the surfaces (displaced mesh + normal map?), which swallows some of the primary shapes (undefined edges). Transferring the normals from the original shape to displaced mesh could help to… -
Maxivz's Interactive Tools for Blender
About: This is a collection of intuitive, context sensitive tools to improve productivity that I did to improve my workflow as I transitioned into Blender. They are designed to be used as hotkeys, removing the amount of interaction with the menus and allowing for a less interrupted modeling experience. This is the first… -
Re: Tips on making the transition from Max to Maya
Editable Poly is your friend. Avoid Editable Mesh, which is just legacy code. Within Editable Poly: Cut tool: Is Max's equivalent of Split Polygon. It will snap to neighboring vertices or edges as you use it, or you can cut free-form right in the middle of a polygon with no snapping to edges. Connect tool: Allows you to… -
Re: Character Polycount 2021
Well I don't have any numbers for those but I did notice there's some pretty aggressive LODding going on in GT Sport. The cinematic models they have are bonkers - probably best ones around and you'll have a hard time spotting jagged edges at all, including in the cockpit - but in the race they drop really fast, e.g. third…
