Automating quad topology for dense meshes (workflow discussion)
I’ve been working on quad remeshing workflows for animation and game assets, specifically around edge flow consistency and deformation safety. Most automatic remeshers are fine for previews, but I kept running into problems on denser meshes where diagonals and uneven flow made rigging unpredictable. Below is a before/after… -
No Normals on UV Border?
So I'm having a bit of a problem and I've been wracking my brain for the past couple hours trying to figure out why I'm having issues here. I've got a chest I'm working on, and where my seams in maya are placed, I'm getting no normal map information. Usually I would see some transfer from one shell to another, and get a… -
Re: spore is fun :)
justin, your neckless dudes were giving me grief in the space mode yesterday, so i destroyed them. sorry :) The space section is cool, just wish some of the smaller planets wouldn't coff at your offers to purchase their system. Stupid aliens. My overall / final impresions (almost beat one planet/race evolution cycle) Level… -
Re: im getting the heats
my dell M1710 is the same I have 4 gigs but the mobo only takes advantage of 3.25 of it. With Vista 64 bit SP1 it says I have 4 gigs but I was told that it's not actually using the full 4. Something about the motherboards weren't programmed or set up for 4 gigs of ram or whatever. I know. It's stupid but who knows why they… -

What I like about the format is that it encourages exchange, always cool to see some… -
Tutorial: Pre-Rendered Fur Tiles for Texturing
Some friends asked me to write a tutorial for my fur technique. Figured I'd post it here. Hope you like! In this tutorial, I'll teach you to make nifty fur tiles for use in texturing your models. You will see how having full control of the look and flow of your fur without painting can be incredibly useful, and how you can… -
Re: ZBrush - Seeking workflow advice / suggestions
@pior @musashidan I'm back from visiting family out of town. so... Thanks again! You guys are right. I'll follow prior's suggestion and make a basic model, perhaps stylized, and work towards animating it and setting it up for unity. I would like for it to be third person, I'll leave the mouth-bag part out and just keep it… -
Re: Maya creasing problem with this particular shape
I was similarly excited when I discovered the potential of the Crease tool but after messing with it I was only met with general disappointment. I don't think creasing can get you the look of your loop-supported model; there are differences between how edges average with supporting loops and how creased edges behave.… -
Re: A teacher stumping animation problem. Probably a simple answer.
Thanks for all the speedy and informative posts guys. I haven't started animating yet, I'm still skinning, but I wanted to figure out this problem now in case I experience it in my biped. I am working on other projects at the moment and haven't gotten to test all the suggestions but when I do I'll return and let you know… -
