Re: Beginner 3D Model – Need Feedback on Topology
As said above, good texturing with PBR materials, good lighting and 2dfx (like the smoke) and well optimised models. Here's a good quick example of high poly to low poly baked material use Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/1sgac0v/this_is_your_sign_to_learn_how_to_bake_normal_maps/ Or better yet here's a… -
Re: Does having five edges meet here work for this product? What’s a better alternative?
Check how it looks when materials are applied, and it’s put in a scene with lighting and camera angle. Many of these tiny issues become essentially invisible, in situ. But yes, triangles and ngons are ok, as long as they don’t adversely affect the shading. Usually fine on flatter areas. -
Materialize image to material tool
I've been working on this tool for making a tiling material from an image. Think of it like a more fully featured crazybump and a cheaper Bitmap2Material. It'd be great to get some more hands on it to see where any faults are. http://www.boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/signup.php -
Substance Material to 3D Coat Smart Material conversions?
Hey guys, I have some substance materials that I really like and wish I could use in 3D Coat. Since 3D Coat does not support substance materials, does anyone know of a way to extract the textures from a substance material (such as color/depth/metalness, etc) so I can re-construct them in 3D Coat? Can I do it easily if I… -

Re: Learning Blender and Texturing
I haven't read it, but from the material that I saw from it (and a simple fact that it was assembled over the years of constant updates), you probably going to see that some menus were shifted over time to different locations, or we now have new features that make some things much easier (like new Array modifier). For… -
Re: Spider mech model, would love some critique!
Welcome to Polycount! This is a sweet design, it's nice to see non-conventional mechanical designs like this. The biggest thing for me is how difficult it is to get a "read" on the shapes. I think this happens because the materials are all very similar across the whole asset, so it's difficult for the eye to parse what the… -
