Re: Xnormal Messy Textures
Okay, thanks for the tips everyone! Eric- I will be using UDK as my final app. I just have tested my mesh in there and you can clearly see those gradients. As for the smoothing groups, I have set them all inside 3ds Max, but as I checked in Xnormal, they don't appear in there at all. I think that might be the issue! Quack-… -
Re: One mesh modeling or combine mesh and attach it simply
I would say it doesn't matter. From my little understanding of how the rendering pipeline in a graphics card works, the amount of sub-meshes doesn't matter. What matters though is points. Everytime you don't merge vertices together, and everytime you have hard edges/extra smoothing groups or different materials on two… -
Re: Driller thingy WIP
i think that while the model is nice, and it shows a good understanding of subdivision, like a lot of stuff i see on these forums, including your model, it is smoothed unnecessarily in places. The reason we smooth objects is predominantly to create fillets and smooth surfaces. The majority of the surfaces you have on your… -
Re: Class project - "the Mangler"
Try putting correct smoothing groups (after you baked) on the low poly see if that helps. Looks like the whole blade is on one smoothing group that may be why it looks too smooth -
Re: Vertex Normal Splits
What is the best way to split an object with smoothing groups into two objects, while still preserving the normals? Edit Normals helps with single smoothing grouped objects, but averaging destroys smoothing groups. -
Re: [SOLVED] Maya export causing poly counts to double, triple, and even quadruple. Help please.
It was normals and smoothing options. Sorry man. For fbx it was 'tangents and binormals' For obj it was a combination of 'smoothing' and 'normals' with 'smoothing' off and 'normals' on, it seemed to fix it. i feel like such a big fool -
Re: maintaining wanted curvature when subdivided in 3ds max
Give the arc a smoothing group and give the singled out polygon a separate smoothing group and check the smoothing groups option in turbosmooth. Edit..I think I misunderstood what you wanted..ignore this. -
Re: Maya low poly wireframe render on high poly mesh
I'm not a fan of the smooth wireframe I find it fills in too much detail, there shouldn't be a limitation concerning resolution and playblasting. Alternatively you could just turn on smooth wireframe in the viewport if want the smoothness. -
Re: Maya shadows soft edges problem
Dont smooth the mesh in one single smoothing group it only works for sphere like objects. Smooth the whole object and select the edges with a very strong angle and make hard edges. -
