Re: maya08+xNormal. the puzzle within the puzzle
Avoiding it will cause you problems, really :p What is happening probably is that the constant uniform ray distances is not suitable for your complex model. To setup a cage just make it to cover completely the highpoly model(enter the 3d viewer and expand it). Then save it as a .SBM("save meshes"), reassign meshes(just… -
Re: Zodiac Boat
Try baking some lighting into te texture, like a light orange tone from below and a more blueish tone from above. Then bake an AO pass. Next, find some nice rubber refpics or whatever it is those boats are made from and overlay it to the rubbery parts. Get an Envmap on those Metal parts so that it looks like it reflects… -

Re: I just got jumped
That sucks casey. Count your chickens though. You could be a lot worse off. As I'm sure most people here have too at one point or another in their lives, I studied various martial arts back in the UK, and even the toughest, scariest south London street savvy 6th dan uber nutter bastards that I knew will tell you to just… -

As stated… -
The art of landscaping in SpeedTree & GrowFX (botanically correct plant modeling)
Hey guys, I recently did a course for creating realistic plants (botanically correct) in SpeedTree( and soon GrowFX) I thought I'd share some of the final images with you. A little about the scene : Over 120 different species of plants was specially built just for this this scene from scratch, which include moss, grass,… -
Re: Insanely frustrating baking issues with height in marmoset
This is generally expected and something you will see with all baking applications. I just wrote a response to a similar issue on Reddit (I am not sure if you created this post or if it was someone else) but I'll paste it here as well. --- A baked height map will record the difference between the high and low polygon… -
Re: How do you create giant, non-repeatable environment structures for games?
I think you misunderstood my answer above. You don't texture it as one object. That wouldn't make any sense because you'd end up with the most low-resolution texture ever. But what you can do is bake a unique normal map, for large scale detail. Normal map allows to be scaled up extremely high. And then you tile tiling… -
Environment Texturing techniques for sculpted meshes and modularity
I have been researching environment art for games for some time now and I came across trim sheets and modular assets. I am still confused about the workflow. Ex 1 : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rR2weE This guy made the high poly in zbrush first, then textured it in substance. But won't this make a unique material for… -
