Re: Dranei Scythe
Been a while since I've updated sorry. Anyways I finally got the thing unwrapped and I did decide to model the shards. I've only just started on the texture, it's just flats except the back crystal which still of course needs lots and lots of TLC Oh and the final tris come to 2,108 so I think I'll just keep the shards as… -
Re: max 2011 64bit freezes on export.
i actually have run into this sometimes with OBJ exporting, I've just recently upgraded to max 2011+ so I haven't really tested it a lot, but it seems like it's an issue with data in editable poly, for things that worked for me, you can either:* convert to editable mesh, then back to editable poly [explicit normals used to… -
Re: Tree lighting and Normals problems in UE4
Yep speedtree has the normal editing options built in. it helps a lot, but normal editing alone can only minimize the problem it can't solve it fully. In Unreal when you import, make sure that the Normal Import Method is set to "Import Normals and tangents". I think it defaults to "compute normals" which will reset any… -
Re: ZBrush Custom UI Showcase
If the UI is loaded when the program starts (and so no tool is in edit mode), it won't show you the active points counter. If you draw any polymesh tool onto the document and enter edit mode, then use the arrows in the top-right corner to switch the UI (switch to something else, then switch it back to your custom one), it… -
Re: Z-Brush and Environmental Art
The trick is to know that Z isn't a 3D app. The workspace is a canvas. YOu can't rotate it any more than you can spin a canvas in photoshop. And yes, the interface is still odd, but you will come to grips with it eventually Once you've loaded your model as a tool, enter "Edit" mode and spin it by dragging on the empty… -
Re: Polygon hair modeling techniques?
well, you could create a small selection of hairstrips for the strands that cover the skull and ones to cover the ponytail. at least two different texture-snippets for each for the sake of variety. geometry should be pretty wide - you don't want to add tons of really thin strips to cover the skull. then lay out splines… -
Re: Need help in baking related problem
Hm, when I dropped the lowpoly mesh into Blender to inspect the UVs unfortunately look broken: Looking at the lowpoly, I suggest: * Reduce amount of support loops, use as much as needed to get a good mesh shading. Put the saved geometry into the curvature of rounded/ cylindrical parts. The impact on the assets silhouette… -
Re: select every other edge on collapsed subdivided mesh - 3dsmax
Hi guys, here is the latest update. The code is a little more optimized and quite faster with Edit Poly Modifiers. I added a rollout with a progressbar as suggested by MoP to keep the user informed about the current calculation status. Please report any issue. Thank you. macroScript… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag Wishlist
I originally voted for "I'd gladly pay a reasonable price" but after brad's comments, maybe "reasonable" is too vague... I don't think anything over $50 is "reasonable" for a model previewer. Efficiency/speed is the highest thing on my list (which I guess is the same thing as ease of use). Its the main reason I use… -
Re: online portfolio suggestions
Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Hopefully it works by improving the presentation. The next time I go to town I'll update my blog with a portfolio section, I might try to replicate the ArtStation format, or alternatively just use ArtStation. I tried now to make a jpg only page by editing HTML with my Android LG, but…
