Re: 2019 detective Special
Update. I've got the low poly and the UV's laid out. There not 100% final and still need some work. At the moment its about 3200 but this will probably go higher to sort out the smoothing errors. With all the talk about tangent Vs object space I decided to try things out for myself. Top mesh is object space, bottom is… -
Re: How to render- noob questions
eq- if that's not the case then great. I'll try using maya hardware render instead of mental ray. I had been told that maya render misinterpreted normal maps as bump maps in a very messy fashion even though they worked in the viewport. If this is not the case, then great! PieJesu- I've done the normal maps in XNormal, I… -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Looking at it, it's multiple things I guess: The shader, and the shaders reaction in shadows. It's not a tone of grey, it's blue. You got a variation specular hits (like a prism). Lighting of the snow is important, or it just looks like mayonnaise. Then you have the geometry of the snow on some parts (ice and stuff), then… -
Re: assault rifle
Not nearly done, but well underway. I have some questions about polyflow at this point. I'm concerned about big weird creases that I seem to get when baking tangent space normal maps with xnormal. It seams that if I optimize the low mesh as much as I like to, I get weird smoothing errors on the final normal map. So I'm… -
Re: question Explode Export method in zbrush? is there one?
I dont think you can. The explode button is a temporary thing in zbrush as far as I know. The advantage of exporting your hipoly from zbrush is that xnormal sees it for baking without the mesh having to be open. Exploding a decimated mesh in your retopo app works really well for one time bakes but it means having to use… -
Sorry to ask but..
Sorry to ask guys but i've searched and searched and can't work out what the problem is. It's probably quite simple to you lot but I'm still figuring all this stuff out. I have successfully managed to complete the high to low poly workflow using 3dsMax, Zbrush and Xnormal before however this time I have some errors in my… -
*Formal Anncmnt on Dragon Weaver*Hiro update
just needed to formally announce that the test animation clip i post with all of the HIroshi updates was purely to showcase the ANIMATION..the style..the whispy sort of snappy style... someone here thought i was actually using the "characters" in that clip as assest for my cartoon... LAME....since that is highly ILLEGAL...… -
Re: Environment Art Beginner Questions
@CDeniz ...how were you able to get other results than i do :( lol. Did you use a cage mesh? did you change any settings inside xnormal? what file format did you use for exporting to xnormal? or better ask, what exactly did you do?? :) and are those litte black "noises" on the edge of the box normal? because you seem to… -
Re: I need a faster/better way to bake slection maps
You could also use xNormal for this. If you don't have a colormap imported to it, then xNormal will use basic colors you'll define. Mostly I have black and white selected and you get kind of a mask after baking the diffuse/colormap. Those will be the exact same as you already created from normal/AO and what not. If you… -
Re: Sketchbook: GED
Thanks MightyPea I totally agree about the normals being blown out on the last deadpool render I did, I just wanted to use a 3 point light setup cause xnormal didnt have true 3 point lighting so I had to use max...but overall I still think it looks better in xnormal so I might use that to do a quick render of him there…
