Re: Normal map question
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping "In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping is an application of the technique known as bump mapping. While bump mapping perturbs the existing normal (the way the surface is facing) of a model, normal mapping replaces the normal entirely. Like bump mapping, it is used to add details… -
Re: Best way to
I don't use zbrush as much anymore, but to my knowledge zbrush also has historically done this when you hide part of your mesh and save with multiple subtools. There's usually a way to counterscale it in the Export settings from zbrush. - other subtools are rescaled based on the size of the base subtool... or hte other way… -
Re: The Polycount Store
Wait. Okay, so we both pay 12 units of our native currency for a T-shirt. After conversion you guys are paying double the usual amount for a shirt. Over here I am paying triple the amount I would usually pay for a shirt. [Not that I am complaining, Admins, I love supporting the site] So I still think it costs Americans… -
Re: Bored
Soul: Try showing more of the inner eyelids on the bottom (and maybe top a lil) Just that pink fleshy inner eyelid usually helps to bring eyes to life a bit more. Possibly darken the eyes as well. If that doesn't work, maybe try taking some of the shadow out of the upper eyeslid surrounding the iris? Not sure any of that… -
Re: Car guys (and gals)
Yeah, the G8 was finally a step in the right direction, but as usually, they screwed it up (by killing it). I've never really been a Ford fan, mainly because they always had electrical issues, which is the hardest thing to fix/debug on a car. Not to mention it usually results in 'thermal events'. BUT, the Fusion has really… -
Re: no time for personal models
I have a similar situation at the moment also mate. As for my remedy, I usually find a night or two to skip sleep (most of it anyway) and just bust ass on whatever I can at the time. I plan it out while I'm at work, or on the drive home. The next day at work is usually a pain, but there is at least some progress. My… -
Re: transatlantic swearing
I have my own take on this, which might or might not apply to American/English English, since it is technically the same language, but for non native speakers it is kind of like this: If you are really mad or just surprised by a sudden negative event than you usual use your native swear language, but if you are more joking… -
Re: Environment Modeling Inquiree
Kovac: I think it has to do with how rendering engines calculate shadows. Your method of simply "clipping" one object into another is much more efficient in terms of your triangle count, however it may produce some unwanted visual artifacts occasionally. I also usually just clip my geometry into eachother. inaccuracies in… -
Character Retopo HELP ( Noob question )
Hey guys I'm working on this character with a bunch of subtools and I'm not sure on the best way to approach the retopolization. For example I have a boot that's divided up into a bunch of sbutools. I want to know how people usually retopo boots. Here's what I got. Do people usually retop the laces together or seperate? Or… -
GoZ Maya to Zbrush problem.
I am in the process of importing my retopologized mesh from Maya to Zbrush and was prompted with the usual 'relink' or 'create new mesh'. Pressed relink but ended up getting the mesh imported only, without the highres detail automatically projected. Usually i'll get a message prompting me to transfer details, not this time…
