Re: 3DS MAX HELP! - Lowpoly Modelling
There are a few edges in the handle I might re-route so the quads look more standard and have less of a chance of doing something funny with the cage. It looks like you're ready to start baking, you can do that in 3dsmax with Render To Texture (RTT) or xNormal, both have their advantages and disadvantages and both have a… -
Re: I need critiques
brushes are kewl, it seems easier for items like this to just use photos and manip them a bit (which im sure your doing) but the brushes are giving it a painted look a bit, kinda soft and fuzzy or hazy in places. for the normal, ummm im not sure what your work flow is for this. I usually do a highpoly in max then a low. i… -
Re: For the attention of Rorshach and Dukester...

[Maya 2018] Time editor and clips, are they worth it?

(Human readable) UV Mapping Modo; Trying to make a hand-drawn face
Trying to make a 3D character with a hand-drawn face. Similar to Wind Waker. My problem is that I'm super new to 3D stuff and I've only barely scratched the surface of UV unwrapping up until this point. http://www.benjones.us/twilight-princess-eyes-breakdown/ Note how the eye texture is drawn front facing and completely… -
To bake to the model or to bake to a plane
As usual I've psyched myself out. Just to give you the breakdown on what I'm trying to decipher I have this carousel.

UVs Stuck on Zbrush
HI guys. I'm having a really hard time exporting my pieces from Zbrush to Maya. I finished my high-res model on zbrush, and I used the uv Master in most of the pieces. For the ones which the auto mapping wasn't good enough, I would Uv manually on Maya. So I used GOz -> Visible (when using All, for some reason, many peices… -
