Re: toolbag 4 - ray tracing render shows UV seams
Honestly, I would say setting up bakes to do this is the hard way. Scaling the UVs, re-exporting, then combining the maps Photoshop would take very little time with fewer overall steps. But yeah you can bake the maps in Toolbag, what you would want to do is: * Create a copy of your mesh with the new UV layout * Export both… -
Re: [MAYA] Hard edges on UV seams when baking normal map.
Welp first off, I wanna thank you for taking some time to take a look at the models and giving your opinion, it's much appreciated. However, I'm afraid you wasted some time and maybe didn't really read the post. I already knew that the hard edges were the uv seams, the problem is that I don't know how to get rid of them.… -
Re: Graze_Sketchbook
Shiv: Yeah sure :) Well i starting in Max making the lowpoly model (nothing fancy there) i then exported the lowres mesh into Zbrush. From there i subdivided the mesh a bunch of times but with smt turned off, its in the geometry pallette it stops the mesh from smoothing so when i eventually bake the mesh itll match my… -
Re: DOTA2 Hero Shader - 3DS Shader Material - RELEASED!
Correct, they did say that, but at the same time, I know based from some info for the previous Beta versions that Valve did quietly add Alpha's for certain models that didn't have them in the first place. As to if they will keep on changing that or not...we'll have to wait and see I guess? I mean those two posts are almost… -
Re: The future of asset creation for games
Well, it's just that I think that we reached the higher end of visual fidelity already. Taking tech and human constraints in consideration, there's not much we can do better. No magic voxel tech will ever change the way cars are built for Forza and Gran Turismo, and they already are on par with the detail quality of their… -
Re: Sketchbook: Dthclaw
Wow, been busy the last couple of weeks. My ZBrush teacher had us retop and UV map our characters, so I've spent a lot of time getting the topology cleaned up in Maya and mapped out. Couple things I've learned in the process for sculpting out for games: * Do the ZSphere armature and skin first, but after getting the rough… -
Re: [Mudbox] Repetitive objects
Never tried actually...But: If your meshes are exactly the same, you can try to overlap the uvs, sculpt and bake one, and the use sculpt using map (make sure you're subdividing each mesh to a reasonable amount to catch the details of the map, so my guess would be smaller ones don't need to be as the same amount of detail… -
Re: What is the aim of a highpoly for inorganic models?
A. Mudbox works better than viewport canvas for somethings, but it works great for painting quick masks without having to go to a separate app and do the whole "export, import, doodle, export, import" dance. Hopefully autodesk will get some GoZ type features working soon so its much easier to jump back and forth. B. Sure… -
Re: RMA Texture
Looking at the stones, there is no way this could ever be from photo to normal, those are very likely 3D sculpted and then baked down. Youll never get such normals from a bitmap to normal generator. This is kinda what you get from a bitmap to normal generator, used the same stone image as base. The tool can not possibly… -
Re: [UE4] [WIP] Red door - Student personal project
@Shyralon Thanks man! Indeed it was a lot of masking and it was well worth it ;) Update, finished retopology and it was quite simple, could've spent more time on uv but I really wanted to spend more time on texturing since I know very well that I will struggle. The bakes went also fairly good I think. Texturing is…
