LlamaJuice: Thanks mate :) DarthNater: Good point, I tend to use Bend modifier a lot, since you can easily get the perfect curves. However, sometimes I just find it quicker to model the shapes manually, especially when I don't have a clear idea of how I want it to look like. bbob: I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to…
It looks like one solution to speed up the normal map baking could be to split up the rendering into workers (duplicate actors) rendering smaller sections, parallal. From what I see, reading the huge array of pixels is the bottleneck here. This is why it gets faster when its split up into smaller sections (shorter arrays).…
List of changes: - I have made two tilling textures; one for the ruined brick wall and one for the rocky parts of the ground mesh Screenshots: Description of the progress: For both textures I have used Zbrush, Max, Xnormal and Photoshop. Brick wall: Here's the run down of the process for this mesh. 1. Sculpt three bricks…
But what 3d software is the model made in? If 3ds max, do a Reset Xform, Collapse, add an Edit Normals modifier and reset all the normals, collapse to Editable Poly, then re-setup your smoothing groups. Make sure the OBJ exporter is exporting the Smoothing Groups properly…
Neox nailed it; you simply don't have the same amount of geometry that the video does (43k verts on your head vs 285k verts in the video). Zbrush doesn't do any smoothing between its vertex normals. Other 3d programs tend to average these out based on a tolerance angle or manually defined user normals (hard edges,…
Why are you using boxes? There is the option to make the grid spacing 10cm each and you can change the grid settings to snap on grid only. Both of these are in the Grids and Snap settings. if you want to have this in perspective view something like this might help you…
I didn't document super well. Originally I was trying to do everything in blender, so I posted on the blender artist website when I was trying to do the baking portion: https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?435940-Baking-normal-maps-for-the-first-time-and-things-are-looking-funky-on-the-lo-poly-out…
