Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
@christrom It looks like you're headed in the right direction. Like Eric already mentioned, what you have would be fine for baking in most high to low game art workflows. As far as a light technical critique of the model and topology: if the goal is to create accurate, detailed high poly assets with a relatively even… -
Normal map and smoothing group problems
BIG EDIT: Okay, just ignore me.... I went and searched for an hour after posting this and found an identical probelm posted here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71536&highlight=normal+map+problem. Turns out I was doing things right, and I just needed to alter a couple things (Like I figured. Me making a… -
Re: Smoothing Groups in Unreal?
there is no such thing as smoothing groups and there is also no such thing as a hardened or softened edge in games there is only vertex normals smoothing groups and hardened edges are just a simplified way to handle them one on face bases and one on edge bases unreal will eat what ever vertex normals you will feet it !… -
3DS MAX - Smooth edge shader
I noticed that Blender has a great working solution for a smooth edge shader where the mesh edge normals are rendered with smooth edges without having to do any chamfering, edgeloops or actual bevelling of the polygons. This saves a huge time on the development part and doesn't require reworking the model all over to add… -
Smoothing Out Edge Borders in Zbrush?
Is there some particular reason why I can't smooth edge borders? I might be wrong on this but I think back in Zbrush 3.1 you used to be able to smooth out the edge borders using the smooth brush. I am able to do this in Mudbox cleaning up artifacts along edge borders after a projection but can't do this in Zbrush. I have… -
Maya to Max | Hard/Soft Edges - Smoothing Groups Problem
Hi everybody! I'm currently a bit stuck, but for the past 2 days, I've been trying to move a model from Maya 2018 using Hard/Soft Edges to control the hardness of edges. Problem is when I export the model (with Game Exporter) to FBX I have had this shading problem. From my understanding, Max doesn't use Maya's hard/soft… -
Normal map baking, horrid smoothing...
Hey guys, i'm trying to bake normal maps for a model, just a section of a model anyway for testing. Now to catch all of the highpoly detail im under the impression - after reading loads of tutorials and articles on how normals work - that you need to give the model 1 smoothing group. Now, due to there being 90 degree… -
3ds Max Material ID to Smoothing Groups
Hello, I create some models in MoI 3D and want to retopologize them in 3ds Max using QuadRemesher. For QR to work properly I need to set up smoothing groups. Luckily MoI 3D exports all parts which need to have a unique smoothing group in separate elements. SO I quickly give them some random materials using material IDs to… -
Modo - export smoothing groups, correct tangentspace format for quixel suite
Hi, I have two issues: - I can't seem to get smoothing groups exported from Modo. I have smoothing groups applied ro a few parts of the mesh, and have assigned a material that has its smoothing angle set to 180 degrees. However, both with OBJ or FBX, the smoothing isn't exported correctly, instead it looks like there is a… -
Maya Smooth
Hi all, I have modeled a canon with roughly 19k tris and there where parts of the canon that had 3 on them (Smooth Preview), now when I applied smooth to the meshes that I had 3 on them i now have a count of 45k tris at lvl_1. Is there any way to get lower than that in terms of tris and still have that smoothness of that…
