Re: Basic topology exercises Giz
I keep adding topology. But two things are giving me a headache: 1) A circular topology clashes with a straight-line quad topology; I don't know how to reconcile them. 2) I have areas that appear to have many vertices, and even knowing the tricks for reducing vertices, I don't know how to make some of them "die." For… -
Quadify Ultra — ML-Routed Retopology for Blender 5.0 | Tool Release
Hey Polycount, Releasing Quadify Ultra today, and wanted to share it here since this community has always been where serious topology conversation happens. https://youtu.be/1_7xRSyeLUc What it is Quadify Ultra is a retopology addon for Blender 5.0 with an ML routing engine. You select a mesh, hit Ctrl+Shift+Q, and it… -
Re: Help needed with UVW Unwrapping
Okay, here's some tips. Also you had some weird geo (doubled verts) on your mesh that I cleaned up. Also I deleted 3 of the 4 fins, you can just mirror them back (Once you've finished the UV's—would make sense to have them overlapped / share the same texture to save space). You might also want to bookmark this for further… -
Texture /photo straightening techniques?
I often need to make straight a piece of photogrammetry or just a photo I want to project onto certain regular geometry . With "straightening" I mean something irregular and slightly deformed to become something having equal intervals and X/Y alignment typical for a texture. A baroque building facade for example or a road… -
Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
You might get some "fitting" radiuses for two different sized circles with different amount of vertices repeated in this circular way. But as soon the radius changes because of the profile you have to be very lucky to get some fitting vertices... The green marked may fit; but the red ones don't and also may produce… -
Thickness for clothing in "Game Ready" models
Hi all, first post on the forum. I'm looking for advice regarding thickness and double-siding (interior plane, exterior plane) retopology meshes for models to be used in various game engines (and renders). For example, if I have a skirt or a dress sculpt I've retopologized, baked the details, et cetera; my concern is… -
Re: Character Modelling questions? Help needed, [Pics]
I would honestly suggest that you sculpt your character in Mudbox (or ZBrush, which I prefer) first, then retopologize it in 3DS Max (fairly simple process, but can be a bit time consuming for a first timer). Also, to do the flowing bangs, there are a couple ways you can do it. 1.) Create a plane, apply a twist modifier to… -
Re: How do people get so much resolution in their textures on low poly models?
The artist will create only one section of the helmet. Then make UVs for it. Then duplicate those UV'd triangles to make the whole helmet. The duplicated sections of the helmet all use the same initial UV space. So then when you paint the single helmet-section of texture, it shows across the whole helmet. You can try this… -
Re: Getting better at male character
He's looking good Marie. Texture wise his jeans seem like they could use a bit more contrast, in the whites of the thighs (where most modern jeans have vertical striping from the dye process) and the deep blues you find at the seams. Also, long vertical stripes of dark and light from the different color threads. Photoshop… -
Re: LucasMichel's Work
*Thoughts from down the line in 2016* If I was handling this issue now in time I would have started with a nozzle cylinder with more Subdivision Axis's (Axis'? Axii?)... A nozzle cylinder with more edge loops (like 16 instead of 8). a lot of the problems I was having here were spawned because I didn't have enough geometry…
