Strange edge artifacts
Hi I'm trying to texture a simple model made in blender but after I exported the model to substance painter and baked the normal map I found some strange arifacts around some edge: It look fine from this distance maybe I should add an edge loop? I fixed an edge loop here but the result are less than stellar some more… -
Poly flow , triangles and 5 edge verts
So I gathered up enough courage to ask all of you great welders of verts, a question thats been on my mind for a bit. When modeling while watching your edge flow and trying to keep the polygon(triangle) count down, is it better to have; a triangle, a five sided polygon, or a vert with more than 4 edges going into it, are… -
How can i revert a chamferd edge?
Hi guys! Searched the forum & google but didn't found what i want to know. Ok, here is the question: How can i revert a chamfered edge? (3ds max) Example image below. I chamfer this edge and maybe some hours later i think: "Hm, this edge is annoying, i want to have the original state of the model here!". Ok, i could just… -
[ZModeler] How to bevel single edge ?
There is no target as a single edge when Edge bevel is active. How can i bevel a single edge ? Or a edge ring ? ( masking doesnt help) -
Re: Beginner 3D Model – Need Feedback on Topology
Agreed with Flat Face. Definitely think about the context that you envision for this asset. Think about how much screen space it will take up and how the player will interact with it. e.g. will it take up the whole screen and will the player get to visually analyse it for as long as they want? or will it be a small prop… -
Duplicate and slide edge tool (As seen in Modo) in Maya?
Hello guys! I created my Polycount profile today and just wanted to start by asking a question in regards to duplicating edges along polygon faces in Maya. In Modo, the slide edge tool also has a duplication feature which allows users to duplicate the selected edge(s) and slide them along the face(s) that they're connected… -
Re: Holding edges (bevel) while maintaining quad based geometry
@Elytreus Is there a specific technical limitation that requires the mesh be all quads? As Nominous mentioned: Support loops will hold the shape transitions along the edges and flat surfaces are generally uneffected by non-quad topology. Subdivision modeling tends to be more approximate than exact so more efficient… -
Re: Why you should double edge loops in sub-d
It all depends though. Sub dividing is basically an algorithm of averaging edges on your mesh. If you have two support edges with a long distance between them then they have to average across that large gap which will cause issues with your edge sharpness. I did this real quick to show you what I mean. I highlighted the… -
Curvature maps and gradient maps for hard edge bakes
Hey Typically when I bake my guns, I just rely on the basics, AO and Normal and a cavity map converted from the normal. A while ago I did the swap from single smoothing group baking (no cage, only ray distances in xnormal) to cage + smoothing groups + SG UV splits. Of course, when you bake this method, the hard edge is… -
Topology and Edge Flow help on a simple object in Maya (Beginner)
Good Afternoon, I just started a few weeks ago and was trying on modelling simple stuff (mainly weapons) and found an image online and tried to model it on Maya. This is the image: I tried to model the elevated part, however, I was confused on how do I transition down the edge flow from no. 2 since it's already occupied by…
