What do the UVs look like? Are those seams on UV splits, and if so did you add padding there? What tool are you baking with? What tool are you rendering in? What file formats are you using? What bit depth is the normal map?

Hi I have tried the mudbox painting but honestly I find it a bit ankward and tiring to use , and most of times I end up making washed out parts and bad texturing when the same things I do much better in Photoshop , I am very used to the tools like clone stamp and patch tools ... is there somtheing that is easy and very…
Feedback on the Studio tool: I'm having a lot of difficulty accomplishing what I want to in this tool, which is: To blend various similar looking scans to create a larger (2x2 or 4x4) texture that doesn't have noticeable repeating patterns (most of the scans have very unique detail, which is cool, but it makes them…
IronBearXL: I actually like the voxel stuff in 3DC. True it took a bit of getting used too but in the end it was really quite cool. :) But no its not on par with ZB for me but I found it a good 'cheap' Mudbox replacement.

Can be useful if you need some consistency, want to try different texture variants, etc. Would love to hear what you think! Video:…
Old swords that were passed down generations were not notched like that, even swords that have survived centuries of wars do not look like that, unless it was made of aluminum. They were actually always kept in near-pristine condition as much as possible. Think about it; if your grandfather gave you his prized warsword,…
maybe you should look into scripting things a bit, and assigning multiple similar tools to one key, and use the context of what your doing such as subcomponent selection type or what kinda selections you already got made, and modifier keys to access all the different tools on 1 key. and if your were a maya or modo user i…
Sweet, I didn't know this many people here used bodypaint. I know there are a few dvds out there. I'm currently very interested in getting the new gnomon creature texturing dvd . Which is cool for tips and tricks, but I can't ask the dvd questions when something wierd happens. I'm not really having any problem setting…
Lets be realistic here, I know its cool to be "indie" and hate on the big guys simply because they are exactly that - the big guys. Every studio that i've ever worked for has done serious software evaluation, and they settle on one of the big three, Max, Maya and to a lesser extent XSI because the other tools out there can…
