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… -
Low Poly to High Poly Workflow
Hello, ive always had difficulties with this specific workflow. so lets say my goal is to have a low poly model and to bake some normals and AOs. i'll provide an image: so lets say im modeling this pillar/bridge shape that i will eventually extrude. ive started it out with model A which has 10 more tris than if i were to… -

Re: Xenomite-X (The apex predator of WAR)
eek! lol, your splintered UV layout make my eyes hurt B) Anyway, I'd also put a few hydraulic hoses in there for readable plausibility, hmm...difficult to tell from that concept but I think the artist would've added them and as for grungy weathering, heavy machinery especially real-world stuff tend to attract grime/dirt… -

Re: Fixed Normal Map Bake Skewing
I have an alternative that both solves the skewing issue and works on all sides. It relies on having 2 lowpoly with matching uv and making use of an object/worldspace normalmap. For the sake of comparison we're going to look at bakes from 4 lowpoly and a highpoly with repeating details. A: Default B: Copy of your weighted… -

Re: Overlaying normals in UT3 material editor?
Hey guys, I'm gonna throw in a word of dissent here, and a shameless plug ;) Despite rumors to the contrary, it is not possible to blend normal maps decently using 2D image tricks. Lots of people do it, but it looks awful. Those methods never create an accurate result, and they usually throw away a lot of detail. The… -
Re: What's better for sub-d? Bevel or edge loops
Both achieve more or less the same results. I'll use A for left and B for right here, and I think this is mostly about how you think about the high poly and the low poly in regards to the end result. Neither is better than the other, it's a bit of personal opinion and style. A has a focus on hard-edged low poly, and it's… -
Re: Whats your IQ score...?
sorry, why have i been mentioned in this sentence? since i don't wish to escalate, and - oh - jordanN can't reply anyway, a little clarification : 1) user A posts about having rubbish conversations about 3d art 2) user B makes perfectly valid point about bullshit not making a good basis for conversation 3) user A deflects…
