Re: Lowpoly to lowpoly (?) workflows
Thanks! Just tried it, works nicely, I think I'm pretty much hooked. Well, truth to be said, I don't know any highpoly workflow that will work with these meshes. They are mostly comprised of polygons, and feature tons of poles. While there are some flat areas that can be converted to quads and n-gons, and while I don't get… -
Re: Problem with Normal Map and base mesh
You should not edit a baked normal map, and certainly not rotate or scale or liquify it, whatever, in photoshop. It's basically a map of 3d vectors. You just can't edit it without breaking it. So your workflow is not good. Dont bake with zbrush, use xnormal or substance painter or marmoset toolbag or handplane instead.… -
Flintlock Pistol
I'm back with a new project. This time a flintlock pistol based on a piece of concept art by Jeremy Love (used with permission). Here's how it looks right now: I took a little creative freedom with it and added some flintlock firing mechanics to it as it already had some other elements from this type of pistols.… -
Re: Hello! I'm stuck making a hard surface model.
look at high poly to low poly baking and floating geometry, those two alone make simple models look amazing, but if you are a beginner, i would recommend learning more before trying something like that, learn your 3d program before wanting to export to engines -
Re: Diablo The Lord of Terror
I'll be honest, if it wasn't for @PeterK comment, i probably wouldn't have even clicked the artstation link, i would have just moved on. I'm not a fan of posting a teaser image on a forum and going "more over here pls". That's not what forums are for, that's what twitter or facebook are for. That said, because of Peter… -
Sci-fi Bike
Hey guys, still working on improving my modeling, but also improving working off concepts. I saw a neat sci-fi bike concept that had interesting forms I wanted to tackle. Overall I think I'm making decent headway, doing more proportion tweaks and fixing some details, but almost ready to make the high poly. There are… -
Re: Ugly normal maps from zbrush
Do you have access to anything else than Zbrush for your bake ? Proper combinations are very rare, as far as I know the following should look perfect (other combos might look 80% right, but theres always problematic artefacts near seams, around hard edges, and were shapes take a suffen turn) - baked in maya, displayed in… -
Struggling with edge/rim highlight control in Toolbag (hard surface)
I’ve been trying to get cleaner highlight flow on this model, but I keep running into issues where the highlights feel muddy or break abruptly — especially on larger surfaces and edges. I’m working in Toolbag using HDRI + a few lights. From a modeling standpoint the surfaces should be clean, but the highlight flow still… -
Re: Laser Turret (Next-Gen)
X-Mas is over and it's time to move on. :) The modelling is not yet completed (I want to make a state-of-the-art ingame model out of it, e.g. a turret for Star Citizen). I seperated the model in four parts: - Gun - Arm - Base - Mount My plan now is to take each of this parts, adding more details, creating the high poly of… -
Re: Maya to zbrush import problem: dividing alters my lowest subdivision
Hello Decoyz, I had the same issue years ago and realized its just how zbrush handles and represents its displaced data. If you store the initial mesh as a morph before dividing the model and then blend it back in afterwards then it has a tendency to exaggerate the higher levels of sub-division. Zbrush does not do…
