Re: how do you unwrap an object to a non square map grid??
It doesn't mean what modeling package you are using - follow the steps: 1. Unwrap your mesh as usually - as if you were using a typical square layout. 2. Now arrange uv-shells (uv-islands, uv-elements) in two ajadacent square tiles. In your case you should cover a 1x2 rectangle. 3. Using precise scaling operation of… -
Re: Washing Machine Part
@Veer_P An interesting shape, they're typically fiddly to model in polygonal subd that are usually fabricated using an extruded die cast mould' and also CAD designed, hence indeed a challenge so my approach would be as if modeling a car body shell of some sort with a Shrinkwrap Modifier. Because there's a similarity in… -
Re: Xenomite-X (The apex predator of WAR)
eek! lol, your splintered UV layout make my eyes hurt B) Anyway, I'd also put a few hydraulic hoses in there for readable plausibility, hmm...difficult to tell from that concept but I think the artist would've added them and as for grungy weathering, heavy machinery especially real-world stuff tend to attract grime/dirt… -
Re: How do you texture different pattern bricks around a window?
I guess it's what your most comfortable with..... I'm not really in the "creation process" anymore and being a lazy sod I usually just go hunting on the web for a suitable texture slap on some grunge and call it done ;) I'm sure someone on here should direct you too suitable resources. -
Re: I'm tired of 3d modeling and everything that goes with it.
Nothing per se, as far as I can tell, but variants of it have been used for racist memes and classified as a hate symbol in the past, and I wouldn't trust people to always make a distinction in that regard. HR usually won't be the ones judging your skills (other than going through a check list), that will (hopefully) be… -
Re: Smooth group import plugin for Zbrush
I think OP meant what zbrush calls "creases" probably. A way to turn hard edges to zbrush creases so hard edge would stay hard when you hit "divide" button. It's possible to do if you apply a separate material to each smooth group in your 3d soft and zbrush would import it as fbx polygroups. Then its "creasePG" button in… -
Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
I am looking for a something better than i7-10870H laptop with GF3800 but still portable enough to fit into 23inch suitcase together with 22'monitor + winter jacket to wrap it over to survive airports, small intuos and few usual travel stuff. Couple years ago I have seen some mini pc with a regular slot for desktop… -
Re: What is a typical deadline in professional studio to retopo AAA character with UV & 5 LODs?
also really depends on when in production are you? working on and finishing the first characters in any game is usually a lengthy process. the pipeline is getting developed as people work on these assets. once the pipeline for the product stands, its usually faster. we worked on characters that had a one year anniversary… -
Re: What are your go to workflows for fixing pinches and general iregularities on a form?
Helpful posts ladies & gents: Yea if its hard-edges situations and hole punching and pitch relaxing, i like to find anything that would conform the shape back to its previous state of flat or smoothed, so relax tools (soft smoothing) & a lot of moving the verticies along the edges and pulling it back in place sounds like… -
Re: Setting up a scene animation to allow adjustments later on (Maya).
Yeah, that's how I would usually do it as well. However sometimes it's easier to work in a single scene, depending on the style of animation, and approach to it. For example if you're working with mocap, and approaching the animation more from perspective of a cinematographer (I have motion in the world, and I'm filming it…
