Re: newb normal query-wavyness
There can be numerous cases where that happens. 1.All UV´s are inverted. Go into the UV editor and hit "Select inverted faces" if everything gets selected you have to mirror it(i think max thinks it hits a backface then or something) 2.Did you forget to add the highpoly to the projection modifier?(Not very common but can… -
Re: Help with Modeling a Hard-surface Spaceship
For HighPoly Modeling complexe shapes (like the ship) I try always to breakdown the model into several objects (using the real "objects"). Here I would seperate into the following parts: - Nose - Side Engines - Wings (connect them in the rear) - side plates - Cockpit Glas - maybe the upper engines as well I would start… -
Re: Portfolio-stuART_3dee
I think it might be the baking process, how used are you to it?, since the highpoly looks quite good and should end up looking good after a bake too, did you overlay something heavily on that normalmap, how did the result look when you baked it? Something definately went wrong in the baking, and it does look like you've… -
Re: Is it possible to generate Curvature across separate geometry?
Ah that makes sense. So basically: 1. make the highpoly contiguous 2. bake the normals for both intersecting meshes (so both sides will have a >1 pixel line) 3. bake curvature with normal map My lowpoly and highpoly aren't aligning as perfectly as they should, but fixing that and using this method should solve my problem.… -
Re: Retopo and Rectangles
I've recently switched from 3dcoat to Blender for retopology, as it's just much easier to be able to use all poly-modeling tools and primitives. Particularly for hard surface stuff, being able to add a cylinder or sphere and snap it to your highpoly is much faster than attempting to do it by hand (or automatically). Being… -
Re: [CE3]Thief FanArt - Asylum Mess Hall
Here is some progress : I need to make a corner for the 2 corners of the room. Witch is not in the concept I also change the roof to have something closed. I'll make the ornamentation when doing some highpoly stuff for the ceiling and all other trim. Will be the right moment to try out the NUMRS instead of turbosmooth… -
Re: I'd like some constructive crits on this PLR16 model I'm making (wip)
Well if you want to go highpoly with it, using turbosmooth, you should probably look into some highpoly tutorials, they will cover support edges. Thats what you need for the model not the get totally messed up by the turbosmooth. Other than that i cant really say much at this stage. You said yourself that its loong way… -
Re: Help Need good Portfolio Critique
You need to make many more things Focus on realistic assets and just keep pumping out, thats the most important thing right now. Theres not much to say right now. You did the things decently, make sure you learn about the highpoly to lowpoly workflow and just do more things, every new one will be better than the previous… -
Re: Mudbox: UV blues
Another way you can do it is as follows, if everything else fails : -Rework your lowpoly in Max or maya, giving it good UVs, -Import that in your mudbox scene containing your sculpted high, -Create a displacement map to deform the new low (subdivided) into your existing highpoly sculpt. -Collapse the sculpt layers > you… -
Custom Chainsaw
Looking for feedback for my personal project. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3dQEXJ Custom tuned Chainsaw. 19 917 Triangles in total. Single 4096x4096 texture set + 512x512 tileable chain. Design is a mixture of various chainsaw models + kart engine + modifications. Highpoly (hardsurface) is created in 3ds max using…
