Re: Critique my Stylized Modular Skate-park
Hi! Some fixtures/ nails/ screws was just an idea to add some extra, small scale details. Another way to do so, would be to play with the plywood's grain pattern and knots/branches. To quickly explore different plywood layouts, you could sketch over the base ramp shape. Drawing in the structure beneath might help with the… -
Re: Zerg Drone
I finished UVing everything. To layout the uvs, I decided to use Maya Auto Uv Layout. At first, I attempted to do it manually, but soon realized that auto Uv Layout would do a far better job than I could. There will be two texture sets for this, one for the wings and the other one for everything else. Keeping the wings… -
Re: Leadwerks engine sample level design: The Zone
on that last metal texture, you've got a unique uv layout and texture, but obvious tiling-texture-esq repeating details there, if you're gonna use a unique layout, get rid any artifacts like that. Or else just use a tiling texture, even with a tiling texture this is something you would avoid, but on a unique uv layout its… -
UV Workflow & Half automated UV packing
Hey Polycounters! Lately I had to do a lot of UV work and I'm not quite satisfied with my workflow. Usually I start with making my cuts and sews and then unfolding the model. If needed, I fix some shells and then let Maya Layout the whole thing. DONE. But at this point I've ran into 2 problems: * If I am working with… -
Re: Texture Atlas help
I noticed in your UV layout that the new shape matches another if you flip it. Can you reuse that area of your texture? If you can, do that. If you can't , you can finish both textures and then bake that out to a new uv layout. Worst case, is the you make the new uv layout and then you copy paste those elements inside… -
Re: A.M.U.N Robot
Thanks for answer! Step1: At first I use ZBrush for concepting. In the beginning I used ZSphere, its easier manipulate with large mass, then use dynamesh with Move, Clay, hPolish brushes. Step2: I went to 3Ds Max and retoped this ZBrush model, for retop I use standart retop tools in the Max (Ribbon-Freeform-Polydraw),… -
remapping pixels
great technique in max. basically imgagine that you have made a base texture from a uv layout , then you realise that it looks crap. rather than repaint the whole thing. try this instead. 1 apply uv unwrap modifier 2 switch to channel 2 on the unwrap modifier. copy the uv's from channel 1 to channel 2 and then start… -

Re: Old plaster wall with ornate wood trim.
This is sweet can't wait to see it textured ! As for the layout, I might be wrong but I think it really depends on your engine. For instance in UE4, you should use the layout A, that means you only have one material on your mesh thus less drawcall. Other engine could run better with layout B I believe. Anyway it's more a… -
Re: UV mapping and Retopology (Current and future State)
UVing is pretty easy these days. Just mark your seams and auto-unwrap. Auto-layout if you have good software that supports it(not stock Blender) or manually layout for better coverage. I remember back in the day it was a lot more work because we all had to manually apply planar or cylindrical projections to different parts…
