Re: xNormal Problems
You need to setup a cage to limit the rays. To enable the option it's not enough. To setup a cage you have 3 options: 1. If you use 3dsmax, place a Projection modifier over your Edit Mesh(does not work with Edit polys) lowpoly. Extrude the cage until it covers completely the highpoly model and move some vertices if it's… -
[Questions] Level Design roadblocks
Links to examples of my level design/process so far: 1) Multiplayer Level Design based on Molecule Design: http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee416/Yourname942/LD Questions 1/IMG_20160229_092028995_zpstg2icyix.jpg 2A) A Singleplayer section based on the lower left molecule:… -
Re: 3DS Max Modifier stack question
1) Nurms subdivision toggle only exists in editable poly objects, it isn't in the "edit poly modifier". Depending on what you're doing you might build a stack that has you doing geometry edits far above the base object. 2) If you need to collapse your stack and turbosmooth is on top you can use "collapse to" command,… -
Re: Homeless/Subway Scene?
Good start, good improvements! Keep going! 1) Bounce light, you have sharp shadows and pitch black areas. You need ambient light. 2) I'm no sure what kind of subway tiles those are but the ones I've seen are shinny with a high spec. You have a noisy bump on them and hardly any spec. If the spec was higher it would also… -
Re: My Textures Suck Character Texturing Crits
Three very quick tips: 1 - think in terms of light, not in terms of color. Light dictates shapes. You can describe any shape just by describing its illumination, from spheres to knife-edged creases. The sharper the transition between light and dark, the sharper the edge. 2 - Don't use pure white or pure black except in the… -
Re: Unreal 3 Warehouse Scene
1) Modeled chains but boxed i-beams? 2) Those types of hooks normally have a pulley installed. The second pulley helps lift heavy objects. http://www.howstuffworks.com/pulley.htm 2a) Instead of more hooks, how about some pulley controls? 2b) Instead of more i-beams and sprinklers how about a proper under-slung crane? 3)… -
Re: SPAS - 12 Combat Shotgun
Modelling technique is pretty solid, but edges are too tight on the pump and ventilation shield - even compared to the real thing. As for why to get nice curves just for 3d reasons : the looser the edge, the more curvature to bake onto more area on the map, thus maintaining the appearance of a curve even with smaller… -
Quarter-life crisis
Hey guys, So I'm a pretty amateur artist, looking for advice. This is a long post, so, really, you don't have to read this if you don't want to. This might be one of those posts where I look back to in embarrassment, but I can take the crits; so don't hold back, and I suppose it's better to ask, than not knowing. My… -
Re: Blender Mega Thread
@Tiles - well, in theory that sounds reasonable ... but in actual practice this isn't quite as simple as it seams seems for a number or reasons : 1 - The unwrap may have been fully done already, in a very clean way but just missing the split-and-spread. This can happen when reworking an earlier asset, or even simply when… -
Re: Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest
I loved it it was fun, and looked great. I was impressed with the crew of the flying dutchmen/ I really really really like the great detail given to the ship also. I liked the sound the tenticals made when they moved around the ship. But I do have a few MINOR beefs; <<<<SPOILERS BELOW!>>> 1) Jack made the pact at NIGHT to…
