Re: To smooth or not to smooth, that is the question...
Depends on what you're using the model for, doesn't it? If it's going into a game, soft normals are what you want, so the vertex count isn't ballooned into a perf-killer. If it's going into a render, or into a normalmap, then subdivision is key so you get smoother curvature. Doesn't matter that the flat bits are more… -
Re: Ranger character progress
After a long time and very little progress, here is what has been done. The folds in the fabric is a bit too soft, especially on the trousers and extra folds around where the knees are, especially at the back. Where the straps are, there needs to be more definition of how it's affecting the fabric underneath. Plus the… -
Re: VSM PCF shadows missing since jan?
Try setting the game to run in maxqualitytexture mode. By putting -MAXQUALITYMODE in the shortcut. This basically runs the game with all the textures at maximum. You can also turn off the texture streaming using -NOTEXTURESTREAMING And you can adjust the softness of the shadows by adjusting the light source angle on the… -
Re: Dropship
I really enjoy this design, looks really sweet. But one thing bothers me a bit (so this is a personal opinion). It is that your shapes are different all over the design. You got alot of straight and cubic shapes, like on the door. Then on the sides, there are alot of circles and soft edges. I hope that makes some sense =)… -
Re: How hard is to go from Maya to Cinema4D?
Houdini better becouse its future of modeling and VFX and animation but need some time for learn and adapt soft for your workflow if you need fast modeling tool still softimage, simply Rigging softimage, softimage still can to everything But softimage dead! so I highly recommended check Houdini for more experience and… -
Re: Arcade Riven - League of Legends fan art
Looks cool so far, digging the hair! :smile: I feel the nose looks a bit funny though. Might be the the nostrils are too close together and the sharp crease contouring the nose. Also the pinching on the corner of the lips will probably be difficult to bake to normals if you're creating a low poly. Also the bottom of the… -
Re: Smoothing With Modo
Native settings have surpassed just angles iirc (you also have smoothing groups), but anyway it doesn't matter because Farfarer's got your back: http://www.farfarer.com/resources.htm Vertex Normal Toolkit. Set hard/soft edges, by angle, and even better, by UV seams. The Texel density kit is cool too. -
Re: Poseidon Environment
Not sure about soft particles because there are specific particles for the game engine we used But I agree there is a lot of work to be done with the water Light mapping was tried but there were problems with the uv mapping that wouldnt allow me to successfully have light maps Still alot of work to be done but thanks will… -
Re: on the Verge - a gameproject
Hmm honestly i don't think that having a simple choice between shark and soft is going to give the best results. I'd rather see you develop a more finessed shape language consisting of specific accelerating curves and convex and concave shapes. The concept stuff already has that and i'd hate to see you loose that. -
Re: Battle mech WIP
Thanks for the comments guys! Think the only problem it´s on the hips, because it´s gonna be very rigid in that part, ( don´t need this kind of movement there ) but in the elbows and knees, there is a kind of tube, soft material that can be deformed and elongated ( does not appear very well in the capture ), maybe isn´t…
