Re: 3D normal map bakeing problems
The shape of the low poly geometry causes it to catch rays from underlying surfaces and the pixelated radial artifacts around the base of the shape are caused by the parts of the high poly floater that curve away from the low poly shape. It's generally considered best practice to add a flange (that's parallel to the… -
Re: Baking Normalmap Issue
Yes my uv's are layed out properly for both the hexgon and the cube. How would you use ray distance instead of a cage for a transfer map? -
Re: Does it matter what size you bake at?
only if it causes a problem where you are baking. the rays being used by the baker may act weird if you are at some crazy scale. but if you get a good bake, that's all that matters. -
Re: Environment : D-Day Cliffside
Yup, just abotu to say - this looks far too clean. it's like a first pass - laying out the geo and the base textures. Now you need to go in and make it look like what it is: It is a bunker It has been lived in by many men for quite some time There is a lack of sanitation It has been attacked. It is coastal, so will be… -
Lighting Basics and You...
3 point lighting is your friend. There is a lot of reading to be found on the intertron, but I'll give you the skinny version. I'll mostly talk in terms of Max however most of this translates to just about any 3D app and most game engines you plan on using. This is geared toward people who have tried to light a scene and… -
Fray : Character modelling
Hello everyone, my first post since the reopening of Polycount I present one of the first character I worked on, it will be used for our future game "Fray". I had to create many different parties to achieve results and want to get the maximum detail for the future Low poly model, and of course try to follow up the concept… -
Re: High Poly Gun WIP
The scope is most probably mounted on picatinny rails; the little bugger a pretty ubiquitous these days. The rails would certainly continue under the mount, and the mount would be wider than the rails. Although I must say that the design is a bit of a chimera; an automatic weapon with a scope and a very short suppressor is… -
Re: So software piracy is now qualifies as a religion in Sweden
Aside from time, there is no such thing as true scarcity. There are finite resources, but they can become abundant. Water is a finite resource, but it is abundant. So is air and sunlight. Nobody has to pay to breath, drink, or get irradiated by UV rays, but we have to pay to live? Through technology we can transform other… -
Re: Am I stupid? (Serious qeustion) School stuff
Oh my god... I'm so glad I stumbled upon polycount years ago looking for unreal character models. Downloading the pandarian brewmaster skin may have just saved my ass a lot of trouble and debt. No wonder when going to class I had a gut wrenching feeling I was digging myself a huge pit. Like a lot of people said I felt like… -
Re: Artifacts in AO map
Hide all faces of the Lowpoly (not the Object, but the Geometry, using an edit Poly Modifier). This will prevent MRay from hitting the wrong surface and reporting a Ray Miss.
