Re: BioHazard ReBirth r40d Area
What you were doing first was fine, it's the smoothing group that is causing those nasty edges and reliance on normal map to smooth those outs. To get rid of that seam you need to have those edges stitched together. To get rid of the wierd shading with that inset inside the column, you need to separate the smoothing of the… -
Re: What Blender Tasks Are Still Wasting Your Time? Looking for Real Automation Targets
Simple automation tools are easily done by chat GPT. Blender is where it shines actually. What I'd love to see is a kind of deeper Blender customization. A 2d vector editor mode with editable spline brushes driven by grease pensil. The whole "draw" mode is quite inconvenient currently . I want something like "skeletal"… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
Hi, I'm quite new to baking stuff, especially from High to Low, keeping the detail quality. Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread with either questions or answers. I haven't been able to read it all with strict attention. I just finished making some normal maps that required alot of thinking and researching from… -
Re: So what are you working on?
[ QUOTE ] Nope, greater or close to 90 degree angles should have a separate smoothing group. Otherwise you'll get smoothing errors. [/ QUOTE ] Its best to not have 90 degree angles at all(chamfer). But if you have to then you should use the same smoothing group or you will lose any edge smoothing highlight. I say separate… -
Re: [WIP] Teapot spirit - Character Art
Some concept touch ups (wasn't feeling the honeycomb for now), mostly colour tweaks, as well as some blocking out. Not happy with the current look at the moment, but I'll work on it :] I think it looks bad because stylisation doesn't match, it should get better once the body gets merged down smoothed and stylised. Face… -
[WIP] All New Venom personal project for 3D print
Any constructive criticism welcome, (mainly the anatomy!). I plan to improve the ribcage/oblique area and the musculature on the left (raised) forearm. Once the body is complete I intend to smooth it with claypolish then create the spider symbol. Reference: -
Re: [WIP] Triumph Rocket 3R Bike (SubD Model)
Sweet! I love modeling in Max, smooth as butter. -
Re: [WIP] Fisherman's Dagger
Yes, you can use sub-d for a game ready pipeline. Do you know how to do sub-d modeling? In Maya, you can press 3 to preview a smoothed model, and then 1 to return to the regular model which isn't smoothed. You can bevel edges (with 2 segments) in order to hold a hard edge. When you are absolutely sure you've got the shape… -
Re: Need Help With UV's & Texture Resolution
Okay. I understand the UV'ing part now. All the planks are there it's just that they're overlapping. One thing I wanted to clear up with this workflow is... smoothing groups. So edges that will be hard or soft are determined using the highpoly's smoothing groups? So that means that the highpolys smoothing groups will have… -
Re: Introducing Handplane Baker
Thanks for the bug report- I will add that to the list. I am going to be testing a build after work tonight that has some smoothing override functions. The current default behavior is to use hard edges when the highpoly doesn't have normals ( so zbrush files match the viewport). The new functionality will smooth the mesh…
