Re: Maya 2025
Hell yeah, I hope Autodesk takes note and starts trying to just spread the love where it's needed between the two programs. I always said if Maya had smoothing group control like Max's, plus it's turbo smooth, and edit poly modifier it'd be insanely dangerous. But at the same time.. they're not trying to make one program… -
Re: Zbrush. List of hotkey-brush-modifiers?
Yes, you'll find everything you need to know about Zbrush in its extensive official documentation......you know....that one place where nobody seems to bother looking anymore when they want to know about a program they are learning....... ;) From the docs: A new Smoothing Algorithm The Smooth brush includes an alternative… -
Re: [SOLVED] Weird shading after exporting in .obj
Just had a look at your file. All the selected faces highlighted in blue have no smoothing group assigned. You need to do this before export. And when you export make sure to check 'smoothing groups'. To assign smoothing groups to all faces go to face mode in editable poly>select all faces>go down to the polygon:smoothing… -
Re: Normal Map Black Edges
Hmm. Wait. Sorry, first I thoungt you are talking about the black edges on the silhouette but I reviewed the picture and I've reread what you wrote and you did the hard edge/uvsplit thing wrong. You can have any uvsplit without smoothing split. BUT where you have a smoothing split, you need uv split too! And since you… -
Re: Speeding up highpoly hard surface workflow
I imagine modo with rounded edge shader is far more useful but for now I'm making due with quad chamfer and it helps speed things up massively. There's a lot of different ways you can use the quad chamfer modifier. You can for example block out your shapes with it set to quad chamfer by smoothing group with a hardness of… -
Re: your quickest organic prototyping workflow for ZBrush?
First, I always turn off the smooth function in dynamesh, seems like I wind up losing a tremendous amount of detail. I'll still remesh with dynamesh, but with smooth turned off. Second thing, cleanliness on mesh structure, I'll use either decimation master, or zremesheer. Have found each has it's advantages and weaknesses.… -
UE4.27 - VR - Forward Renderer - Custom Edge Detection PostProcess
Hey hey everyone! =) I’m running into a pretty specific issue, and I’m wondering if anyone here has faced something similar or might have an idea on how to fix it. Setup - Engine version: custom Unreal Engine 4.27 branch based on the Oculus branch - Project: VR (PC, not mobile) - Renderer: Forward Renderer - Antialiasing:… -
Re: [WIP] RPG-7
Yeah this is the cg tuts one. Because i had never used max or done hard surface before i figured it would be good to teach me quickly. Basically some parts are turbo smoothed and some are manually smoothed with bevels. For the turbo smoothed ones you just delete the turbo smooth modifier and then remove all the support… -
Re: Mirror normal map problem
That did seem to help the look on the actual model eld. Thanks. Still can't get it looking right in Max though, maybe I just haven't set the viewport shader up properly. But looks fine in Marmoset which I want to render in anyway, so will go with that. Don't know why, or if others do this, but I noticed that the normal map… -
Re: Image Heavy-Textures, props, and Personal - First Post (sorta)
If you don't want to manually smooth out the artifacts in zbrush, then I suggest the following options. 1. After you extrude from mask in zbrush, click the "clear" button under Tool - Masking. Then under Tool - Deformation, slide the "smooth" option to the extreme right about 2 to 4 times (depending on teccilation). Be…
