Heavy Weapons Guy Bust Exercise [ZBrush]
An exercise I did as an aside from working out of the book "Digital Sculpting Human Anatomy." I tried to rely on just stills from "Meet The Heavy" and orthographic images from Valve's free OBJ, but eventually I started whipping out the OBJ in Photoshop to help me through planing the face. It's the most generic sort of… -
UV Squashing in Borderlands 2 on masks for color tints.
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give… -
Re: Topology problem, maybe baking problem?? In need of help!
Exporting as FBX fixed the faceting. I tried the synced workflow but got... worse results. Now im really confused. Here are the two results both viewed with the same FBX in marmoset two and tangent space set to 3ds Max. A. Xnormal to Handplane. Baked with OBJ in XN as 16 bit tiff World Space (see link for why 16 bit tiff).… -
Re: xNormal in Blender
Mongrelman, there should be no need to load the high-poly mesh into Blender. You can point to the low mesh from the interface or just use a generic temp obj for all bakes that you can export to from Zbrush. Jogshy, that sounds awesome! Kat, yes the tool is using xNormal for all processing and is doing exactly what you… -

Re: Maya - Render normal maps with Mental Ray ?
@malcom - Right now I seem to be unable to get ANY sort of result when adding normal maps and rendering with Mental Ray, not even any errors. But seeing the render of MM and then you saying it works it must be something wrong with my hardware or Maya. I'm using Maya 2012, haven't tried with an older version. After I tried… -
Re: [3DS Max] Crashing on export (ASE, FBX) [Further details inside]
sometimes some mesh info can get corrupted on a mesh or poly object. It helps sometimes making a snapshot of the model and exporting the snapshot. A snapshot is a term in maxscript where it creates a new 3d model of an existing one but as a new Mesh (can be converted to poly). I had it sometimes that some smoothing group… -
Re: Maya to Max
whats all this bitchin about maya modelling, i used max for about five years (propperly although some would argue) and ive swapped over to maya in the last year for work, im keeping up max but i find it a pain in the damn slow asss, the thing about maya is that at first the workflow seams strange as things arent placed… -
Re: Gears2 Environment Art
Well you should not be importing a 10 million poly mesh, you should be exporting in chunks from Zbrush that are reported as being about 250,000 polys which is half a million Tris. If your object is more than 250k, then use polygroups to seperate the piece into 250k chunks and export each of them out as individual OBJ's and… -
