Re: Do UV seams matter as much nowadays?
You mention you could stitch some uv's here and there - but that sounds like you aren't aware of the fact that it'll affect your shading, which of course goes on to effect your bakes and normal maps, lods etc. etc. Yes, you could run a uv -> hard edge script, but that means there could be some UVs that you stitched… -
Re: Per-pixel lighting equations on a smooth shaded mesh
Smooth shaded meshes where all vertices are in the same smooth group just means that the vertex normals are averaged, not that they take on the averaged normal of the face. If all three vertex normals are pointing in the opposite direction of the light, the "smoothed" vertex normal will be to. It will not orient to the… -
Re: Polygons' edges are seen after baking
Hi! In Blender (4.1), going into edit mode, you can preview the split vertex normals (taking into account hard edges) here: Functions to modify the vertex normals manually, with vertices selected in edit mode, can be found under "Mesh > Normals > ..." - or shortcut "alt + N": To flatten the vertex normals, you would copy… -
Re: 3ds Max/Zbrush: Proboolean + Dynamesh hardsurface workflow tutorial
@cabooes Alright. It seems I found the issue. Zbrush WeldPoints has some weird tolerance slider(Weld Distance). By default it seems to be set to 1. And that will only merge a small portion of vertice. Now you can crank it up higher but I wouldn't recommend since there is no floating point precision in distance(And you… -
Re: n/a
Erm, I think you can use one single neutral gray stucco material colored from vertices. The statement that you'll need to separate stuff into multiple meshes to use vertex colors is incorrect. If you don't want wall vertices to influence the color of e.g. walls or a ceiling, which should retain the original look of their… -
Re: What's chopping up my MD3's?
Yeah, MoP, tried it just now, converting to Mesh and making all the edges visible. I also made sure all the surfaces on the object are all set to the same material ID number. It didn't make any difference, I ended up with the same number of vertices, 1268. In an act of desperation, I tried seeing how it would work with… -
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 inspired Game Environment, Third-Year Uni Project
Very busy with pre-prod vertical slice stuff but here's a quick update, room is finished now with decals placed and some basic lighting by me. Our lighting artist is going to work her magic. The only thing it needs is clutter less fog Here it is with proper lighting done by Keziah Pereira, it really makes a huge… -
Particle Mesh Question
Hi, i have a quick question about particle meshes. I've read the Valve workshop section on them and Vermilion Wlad's guide but this is something not covered by that. My question is how it determines what order the vertices are in when it compiles. Usually this doesn't matter because most weapons that use a particle mesh… -
Normal seam between head & torso (Maya)
Hey guys, a little help, please! :) I have a human mesh, separated into two parts - head and torso. On the edge where the head and torso are connected, the vertex normals point in different direction, which makes the shading inconsistent. Easy fix, I thought. I selected all the vertices on torso and neck edges, then issued… -
Re: disseration survey on ai for games art
I wasted so much time last year trying to find any generative AI that would do something helpful in gameart production. Very much to my surprise I found absolutely nothing . Especially after all those short AI youtube vertical videos. The gameart depends on subtle nuances too much, especially in realistic style . Too…
