Re: Bringing Edges together
So merge the vertices, how does one know whether tris are okay vs changing topology to get back to quads? are there any good rules for when to use tris? how to switch back to quads or how to hide tris in topology? -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge May 2015 (30)
Hmm, it looks like it's vertically squashed just a bit (too short and too fat on the diameter). Textures look spot on! Once you add some dirt and other detailing those are really going to pop, nice work so far! -
Re: Hair Shadows Maps
Do I necessarily need do something to link and attach the lights to the vertices, or do you think the sphere only serves as rig for the point light to bounce so I just have to snap the lights to the verts and no light linking involve? -
Re: verts disapere
It's possible to hide the vertices but not the polys. Pretty annoying, I've managed to do it before and took me a while to figure that out. Esure you're in vertex subobject mode and over on the side panel under the Edit Geometry section hit Unhide All. -
Re: the un-charming Prince and other wips
awesome stuff... what throws me off a lil is the tip of the nose and the nostrils. the tip could use some smoothing and the nostrils could be a bit larger vertically. i think the body hair would work much better if it weren't for the symmetry -
Re: Low Poly sword in one or multiple meshes?
Alright, i'll try out the fast way first. If it ends up not working, i can always merge vertices into one mesh. I was just confused and didn't want to finish the whole thing the wrong way xD Thank you :) -
Re: Maya, create (convex) polygons collider for game
yeah the tool we had was great. If you gave it a selection of vertices or triangles, it would fit the hull to that. So we could easily divide a complex mesh into hulls. The company went out of business though, so the tools are all gone. :( -
Re: UV layout tips and tricks thread
Yes I think arrangemonk must be joking, that was a method used in the '90s and it was really error-prone and slow! Personally I do it all with Max's Relax, hotkeyed maxscripts for aligning horizontal/vertical based off Chuggnut's scripts, and eyeballing it all. -
Re: How to model a chain link fence?
my only tip is when you render it to a alpha texture do it at a 45 ° angel so that the lines run perfectly vertical and horizontal than map it onto your geometry minus the 45° angel and you got Jaggies less alpha :) -
Re: Retopo in Zbrush. Worth using yet?
Beats me, Snowfly. I was looking for something like that as well, but came up with nil. That, along with a soft selection tweak of vertices that stick to surface, would be great. Again, the retopo tools just have the absolute minimum functionality to make it useful.
