Re: Remington ACR / Magpul Masada
Well, I've been modeling guns for years, and seen a lot of gun models, and usually in that polygon range there's a lot more detail and smoothness. It's probably those rails that are eating up your polygon count. -
Re: Maya - Vertex ring?
It sounds like you want to use curves. You can convert any edge selection to a curve (Modify > Convert > Polygon Edges to Curve with a Degree setting of 1), then you can duplicate that curve and loft it as a polygon surface. -
Re: Maya[n] Woes
maya in vista works normally for me, but who knows.. check the custom polygon display dialogue (think its in display>polygons), and make sure all the settings are how you want then hit apply- see if that does anything? -
Re: WIP: T-34/85
the smoothin error on the turret comes from a polygon in "tension" try moving the verts around so the polygon is perefctly square. If its supposed to be curved or be part of a curved object you need to add in more edges to support the curvature -
Re: high-poly modelling for non-organic objects
whatever you think its best for you... I would use zbrush to make a start and then use polygons snapped to it to make the bevels and such. I know ppl that makes it from scratch and start with polygons and they do it very well. -
Re: Zbrush 4R7
How far do you guys think the new polygon modelling tool will be taken, because I see them currently being really good for base mesh creation but not as efficient as traditional polygon modelling. -
Re: can Maya control selected edges with bezier curve
Hmmm, maybe a transfer attributes between a curve and your polygonal mesh ? This way you could use the curve to control the polygons. I'm not sure if you can constraint it to only a certain number of vertex however... -
Re: Jack Frost
Hi, Here is my progress, detailing in Zbrush. This head model is at around 20 million polygons. I had to break the model up to Subtools, as 44 million Polygons was too much for a 12 gig machine. -
Re: 3ds tech help please
I think I understand. When you are in edge selection and want to go to polygon selection but with those selected. Click CTRL+ (polygon selection). Let me know if this is what you were talking about. -
Re: Relax tool in 3DS Max doesn't work well
Reset Xform, yes. Also, in the Edit UVW menu Select, use the option that selects inverted polygons. If the UV is inverted then Relax can cause distortion. 3rd thing to try, there are three Relax options to try. Polygons, Centers, Edges.
