How do you bake a complex model from high polygon to low polygon in Substance Painter?
I'm trying for the first time to bake a high-polygon model onto a low-polygon model in Substance Painter, and it's not working at all. I've tried all the Max Frontal Distance and Max Rear Distance patterns, and they don't reflect the shape of the high polygon model at all, or conversely, they reflect the shape of unrelated… -
Re: How to model a 50s van?
@ArtHuman Polygonal automotive modeling workflows typically involve tracing the body lines with curves or subdivided edges and creating clean guide shapes for the curved panels before cutting in any surface details. Whether or not something is modeled as a continuous surface or split into sections really depends on the… -
How many polygons is too many polygons?
I'm working on a sculpt and I decided I needed more subdivisions in order to get the details in. before I knew it though, I had 25,662,126 polys. Is that too many polygons? This piece is going to be a display piece only, so I don't have concerns about whether a game engine would be able to render it. Thanks! -
Re: Sketchbook: Frank Polygon
Some thoughts about learning, problem solving, and feedback. Answer this question honestly when it feels like you're falling behind on a project or stuck on a particular problem: how much are you learning and how much are you getting done? Each project has it's own unique challenges. Sometimes it takes more time to learn… -
[3DS Max] Baking high polygon texture to low polygon
Hello this question may seem old but need some help. I have it where I have a brick that I have done some extrude to and place a texture to it give it an interesting brick design. Now I want to see since its just a simple square in a way to take that same texture look and put it in a low polygon without having to extrude.… -
3ds Max- in polygon selection mode I want to select all polygons and seperate each one.
Is there a way to select all the polygons in my model and click a button and have it make each selected face its own element? Instead of having to select each face individually and detach. -

remove polygons from Polygon Selection Tag in C4D
Anyone know if this is even possible? Or do I need to make a new Selection Tag each time? -
Polygon count, shaders and render times
Hello all, I have a quick question about render times involving polygon count and shaders. How does polygon count and shaders affect render times? From what I have researched so far, my conclusion would be that shaders are multiplicative in terms of render times as it does calculations on each polygon. What I mean is that:… -
Newb Question - Converting to Polygons
Good Day Polycounters! In my extremely limited experience with 3D Art, and Maya in general, I've pretty much only worked with polygons thus far. Recently though, I've found that when working with things such as door handles, molding, piping, etc. that it's much easier to create the wanted shape in NURBS rather than…
