I know how to retypologize/bake normals/etc. But I'm not sure how much detail I should put in the high poly version of the asset. Is this detailed enough or should I keep going? I could def add in lots more detail,… -
Designing stuff - basics, how to approach the entire thing
So after 2,5+ years of studying 3d I got a job in the industry and can make some ok stuff. But until this moment what I was mostly doing is using blueprints or good references and modelling very closely to them. The only thing I did myself was this crossbow and vials and I'm not thrilled with results + the process was… -
How Id Software makes normal map floaters
Hey Peeps! Wanted to ask your opinion, how do you think what is the process of making floating geometry for Doom Eternal? Do they model by hand those bedeled Hard Surface floaters and bake that into normal, or using some sort of Ndo tool, to fast create beveled shapes?

Re: Simple Question - Plasma or LCD
As an owner of several LCDs & Plasmas, I think I can offer perfectly legit points about both. This is ignoring price altogether. My current 42" Samsung Plasma in my living room was only $700 after shipping, so you can find a good LCD or Plasma for the same price. Plasma: Pros: Better colors Better black levels SD Content… -

How to properly model a bolt action rifle
Hi everybody, I'm new here and also a newbie in 3d modelling despite I've been trying hard to model a gun for a videogame for a long time. This gun is a lebel 1886 M93 rifle, a bolt action rifle which in my opinion, is not that difficult. Nevertheless, I made like 3 models and the last one has been the best one since I was… -
How can I do a gradient height tweak for a Solid layer?
For instance I have Solid A and Solid B doing height blend. How can I add a subtle gradient to solid B to sink it beneath Solid A at one side ? I see gradients in mask stack but how can I multiply that gradient over layer height? Also why a height blend of just two layers in 4096 texture is so slow and unresponsive ? Does…
