Re: (3dsMax) How to approach cloth warping on blade handles
Not sure what type of cloth are you talking about, but JurassicPerk also had a cool trick on creating the cloth-wrapped around the handle. Quoted from his post on the hard surface challenge; -
Creasing hard surface.
Hey everyone. Well, I'm coming from an organic modeling background, and I'm working on my hard-surface skills now... I know all the basics, I understand topology and how to handle everything... how to harden a surface by using edges well, etc... But I lack some knowledge in how to "solve" some more advanced creasing… -
Re: Ruined Lands
All of the bricks are baked down from a High Poly mesh I sculpted, I hand placed everything, then baked it down. Though I am changing how I am handling the creation of the structures. I'll show more when I have some more progress. -
Re: Sand dunes in Maya
I think sculpting is no option. I dont know a "intelligent" decimation Programm with a change of the edge orientation. The hard edges will look like a sawtooth without retopology from hand. Computer generated decimation is in my opinion one of the most underdeveloped technologies. -
Re: Which software should i be learning for hard surface modeling in games?
For hard surface 3DS Max would be the standard, hands down. -
Re: 🔥 Out now: The most comprehensive and in-depth Blender handbook ever!
Nice one! already got the necessary in hand to purchase a copy and by the looks of things will certainly come in more than a little handy once I've put together a system that can handle 2.8 :D -
Re: [Baking Error] Having Hard Seam Line
Hi! Props for attaching files :-B Taking a look at the lowpoly, I'd say with beveled edges and the resulting mesh shading, hard edges become redundant. While hard edges need UV splits (when baking a normal map), not every edge along a UV split needs to be shaded hard. I would use use hard edges deliberately in places where… -
Advice needed on building a hard surface shape!
I'm building up my hard surface/prop modeling chops and I was wondering the best way to go about creating this spiraled handle? I've tried to build it from a helix with splines and also tried starting with a basic cube but i cant seem to nail it. Any suggestions on how you all would attack this? -
Re: 3ds Max partally twist or rotate a spline
The handles will work for some things but not all, you're right it's not as simple as grab a spline knot and rotate it, I wish it was that simple... But for those cases where the handles won't do what I want, I end up hand editing a copy of the mesh, destructively. Trying to come up with a non destructive way gets pretty… -
Re: Leap of Faith in finding job opportunity
If I where you, I would pull down some menial job that pays the bills while you work like a mad scientist on your portfolio. If you move to LA you'll be competing for menial labor with all the out of work and would-be actors and actresses. The good news is that with the housing market crash finding a cheap place to live…
