Fire Extinguisher | Flying Missile Breakdown
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a… -
Re: my details are horrible. It's like i'm on this massive learning curve
Well, I'm not sure why you'd need to use the lattice modifier here. And even if you did, that's a lot of subdivisions; will the model even have enough vertices itself for that amount of detail on the lattice to be effective on the car? I think you should try to just focus on modeling for now; ignore deformation modifiers.… -
Re: Problem with Baking Normals
Hi! I recommend to check out the wiki to get an overview. Maybe do some simple tests. Edit: The shading of the lowpoly is important. The greater the difference between shading of lowpoly and highpoly, the more work the normal map has to do. And the amount of information a texture can store is limited. To control the… -
World machine, advanced coloring macro
This is the latest working version v2.0 Alpha2 To make it work you have to do the following. 1. Download the macro and also the overlays.zip file. 2. Extract the overlays.zip file to c:/ or wherever you want. 3. Hook the macro up to your terrain and then double click it, click "enter macro" 4. In the top left corner there… -
Re: Nightshade UV Editor (Maya)
Hello, My name is Martin ("Nightshade") and I'm the developer of NSUV. Nightshade UV Editor is NOT supported in Maya 2018 and later for the simple reason that I have stopped developing and maintaining it. The reasons for this is primarily that Autodesk acquired the UV features from me, and paid me to help them implement… -
[Maya] Double parent glitch
I have an curve controller which is being driven by twocontrained parents, and the parenting is set so the sum of the two parents is 1 (e.g. 0.7 and 0.3 of parenting factor). When I rotate one of the parent controller it all goes fine, but there are some specific rotation values that make the child go in a crazy rotation… -
Re: Layering editable poly
The modifier stack in 3ds Max doesn’t work exactly like a layering system, you don’t have an overall contribution amount control for each modifier. Some modifiers are highly sensitive to topology changes below them, and Edit Poly is one of those. It you change the vertex count below , an Edit Poly is going to freak out.… -
Re: [2D Art] When do you know it's time to, you know, give up?
"I have always liked digital art and had a graphic tablet and drawing programs since I was in my teens" In an weird counter-intuitive way this could very well be partly the cause of this love/hate relationship you have with digital art. While many artists can (of course) create some great 2d art with graphics tablets,… -
Re: Do UV seams matter as much nowadays?
You mention you could stitch some uv's here and there - but that sounds like you aren't aware of the fact that it'll affect your shading, which of course goes on to effect your bakes and normal maps, lods etc. etc. Yes, you could run a uv -> hard edge script, but that means there could be some UVs that you stitched… -
Re: (WIP) Crashed Spaceship and Dead Astronaut
Yes I see your points, the general composition I've decided on is that the spaceship crashed through the ceiling but not all the way so bits of it are hanging through a hole in the ceiling which is also where the lighting for the scene comes from. As for story, I've decided that the astronaut survived for a little while…
