Re: Bump instead of normals, or.. wat?
The normal map pipeline is very well established and gives the best results today, but like perna says there are tool chain issues and people are still screwing it up, in both art and code. A lot of guys are old pros at making normal maps, so much so that it must seem easy. But I think there are a lot of hardships there,… -
Re: Modo: MeshFusion Mesh Mode problem
Thanks guys. Yeah my mesh was the 3ds Max sphere primitive with tris at the poles. I made a sphere out of a box with 2 TurboSmooth modifiers and I got much better results. -
Maya - Mesh disappeared after using multicut tool?
I am working on a school project where I need to model a container using subdivision modeling. I am new to Maya but have a few years of experience with Blender. I tried adding a loopcut to the frame of my container using the multicut tool and the mesh for the frame completely disappeared. CTRL-Z did nothing so I thought… -
Xnormal - reversed face on unified mesh?
Hello, guys. First post here but read many. Currently I am making an arc and when it's time to create the normals for it Xnormals keeps on giving me backface hits even though all normals are as they should. I tried substance as well but things are much better either. First is Xnormal second is Substance designer bake -

Re: Who to take crits from? and how much should you take?

Also people only work on portfolios when they are looking for work. People who are employed are often… -
Re: Retopology: What Do I Do?
Ah ok. Right. This is what I am doing for the first time using Blender (with a character that has some mechanical parts like a shovel). Blender, ZB and SP is all you really need. This is what I do: Forget remesher, it shines when you want to up your detail of the main sculpt. -Separate the chest from the lock. Clown paint… -

Re: Do Pro 3D Artists Paint Directly on Mesh?
I would love to paint directly on my mesh... it would make seaming textures so much easier... -
Re: "Low Tech" Scifi Rifle
Ok, I guess I exported the high poly with normals and smoothing groups on before. Just exported it without either of those and the results came out much better. Next question is this is a 4k normal map and the mesh is 12.5k polys. Would this be acceptable in a modern day PS4 game, for example?
