Re: Basic UV Unwrapping problems
The checker is not showing how much distortion there is. I recommend using a preview texture with a finer grid, and circles, and letters, and a fine per-pixel grid... for example: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/TextureCoordinates#UV_Map_Grids This is my current fav: -
Re: [modo] Vertex Alpha
I still not able to get it working, it all comes out as white. Is there any specific setting that you use? Also where did you confirm it? Did you bring to game engine like Cryengine for example? -
Re: Tutorial - "Holy Crap! I lost all my work!!"
Well in the example above, an autoback will contain the same data that caused a file corruption. If you're working on a file for 12 hours straight, and introduced a corruption 2 hours into it, it doesn't matter how many autobacks you have. -
Re: unlimited detail ? no more polygons...
Its infinite only coz its procedurally repeating itself. I don't think the his is the best example of a 3d voxel engine though. This is a bit better: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HScYuRhgEJw[/ame] -
Re: A Journey Into Texturing
It's definitely an improvement. But the chipped edges are too flat. Try to think of it as a 3d shape which you're cutting into. Look at this texture(not mine): It has a lot more depth than yours. It was sculpted in zbrush but it's still a good example. -
Re: Efficient mapping for assets
Another important aspect of atlasing is using the space outside of 0-1 to your advantage. So you can have long rectangular elements go into the adjacent tile, for example(remember UV space is infinitely tiling) -
Re: Dynamesh/Subdivisions worflow ?
Depends on preference and task. Dynamesh on creatures is totally fine, while on Mechanical objects (like screws for example) [even on higher resolutions] it doesn't achieve same quality results and leaves you with no base for low-poly model. -
Re: M207 .307 Futuristic Pistol
Ok, well, it's the same mistake I've made my first tries. The highpoly version has waaaay to sharp edges. That won't show up on the normalmap, so you'll have to fix that. Take a look at this example by Racer445 -
Re: How do you work with UVs that are wider then they are tall? (Like 512x1024)
If I plan to make UVs work with 1024x512 (for example) I simply pack the uv-shell in two nearest 0-1 squares and after that scale them all to 0-1 square. Works flawlessly and easily. -
Re: Classic Mini Cooper WIP
I was wondering before suggesting some additional advice on optimising your project, is how far will you develop this automotive polygonal model? For example are you thinking about adding reflective materials or is this solely a modelling exercise?
