Re: Blender for Game Art
Even though there are plugins that allow the editing of custom normals, that's render totally useless because Blender lacks the ability to export those custom normals. That's the problem I ran into. Blender's exporters recalculate normals on export. -
Re: Uni project; Dino WIP
I've tried exporting a box with a single bone that exports with no errors, but still crashes UDK. Tried exporting the FBX with 2012.0 version, no luck. I tried UDK on another machine and the skeletal mesh still crashes it. -
Re: Maya is killing me
are you exporting with smooth on obj settings? Before exporting, u might did some mistake inside Maya, try unlocking all normals and redoing it and export again deleting all freeze transformations and history. -
Re: Mari or BodyPaint?
Depends on what you define as intuitive. Remember, everyone as their workflow and they get used to it overtime. For example, I always hated vertex painting, reason I didn't want to get into ZBrush and it's standard, albeit archaic nature of 'doing things' in which required years of correcting manually in Photoshop. A guy… -

Re: Zbrush scale issue - 'Move brush doesn't seem to respond properly
This is a Zbrush problem as old as the hills. Zbrush isn't a true 3D environment and uses its own native scale that has no real relation to real-world scale. The Unify 'bounding box' is 2 ZB units - which is the equivalent to 1cm in Maya. If you create any ZB primitive and go to Geometry>Size you can see that. This is the… -
Re: Photoshop makes transparent pixels turn white
This a thousand times. Since that's your only layer, as far as the exporters are concerned the transparent areas have nothing, so how would it know what color to fill the rbg portion with? White just happens to be what Photoshop does, maybe some programs fill with black, etc. But the way to fix this is hilariously easy.… -
Re: I'm beginner, please help.
-Export your hipoly/s from zBrush to your hard disk/a disk. If you want you can polypaint it/them beforehand and that will give you a color map when you tick that option in xNormal/Maya baking (all 3d apps can bake maps but xNormal is straight forward, maybe Maya too I dont know). -Decimate a copiy of the highpoly/s… -
Blender -> FBX -> xNormal animated explode bake: xN not accepting shape key pos?
Wow, what a long title... So I'm making an exploded mesh for baking in xNormal, with the method of pulling elements apart in an animation, by either: *Moving whole objects. My hi-poly is separated into objects and uses this method. *Moving elements and giving them a shape key, then animating the value. I did this with my…
