Re: Even quad flow before export to sculpting app
Mesh>Add new subdivision level click the little box and uncheck smooth positions then subdivide. It'll subdivide the mesh but not smooth it, so after doing that a couple of times and then smoothing it you'll retain more shape. EDIT: I need to stop leaving pages open for so long lol before replying! -
Re: Racer445's Awesome new tut out now!
That's insane! He's not adding edge loops to everything. What did he mean by "Double Smooth" Oh does he mean: 1st Turbosmooth- Tick smooth by group. Then seperate sections into groups. To give you a general nice smoothing 2nd Turbosmooth - Add extra edge loops if needed to define further -
Re: Automate the UV Mapping Process
There are scripts (or feature included by default in some softare), make different UV islands from hard edge or smoothing groups with 1 click. Like "flatten by smoothing groups" in 3ds max. It's faster than manually splitting edges (only on cylinders need to split, because they're 1 smoothing group) -
Re: Cylinders in Zbrush, YIKES
There aren't really any smooth edges in Zbrush, only hard edges, so if you want them to look smooth, you just have to add more edges. Or you can just ignore the faceted aspect, knowing that when you bring it back to another app, or bake, the edges will be smoothed. -
Re: [WIP] First Asset Critique
Not sure how smoothing works in blender either. In maya you can set a threshold at which angles will recieve smoothing. So you may say, angles up to 85 degrees get smoothed, but anything over doesn't. This will keep your 90 degree angles from getting that bad shading. -
Re: How to tackle multiple buildings for an evnironment?
This along with changing grid snap to 1 fixed my alignment problem thanks. But now im back with those horrible smoothing group problems, Large dark triangles at the bottom right of all my pieces. They all have their own smoothing groups, and i am exporting smoothing information with it. D: ? -
Re: Browning pistol!
About your smoothing groups issue: I guess you exported to fbx or obj or similar format – it’s probably botched some of the smoothing groups. Try changing settings in the export menu. For FBX and Obj, for example, I usually need to uncheck smoothing groups export so that they export correctly (paradoxically… =) ). -
Re: Horrific Normal Baking Errors?
As a whole it's not looking so bad now. Been gradually sorting stuff whilst making tea. Just a couple of little issues left: The octagon shape with the circlular extrusion might need a few more sides to help smooth it nicely. Couple of smoothing errors here - probably smoothing groups or too little geometry? -
Re: WIP Edward Funnell clock
I think the cardboard look you have is due to no smoothing groups. you should take every edge that should have a smooth transition to it and assign a smooth group, as far as materials go, a good reflection map and a deeper color should help, it has the specularity, but no glossiness, which a reflection map will help fake. -
Re: Red Reaper character WIP first organic character
Is that first picture 3 smoothed? Seems to me it is and i'm not too sure if i'm meant to be making it low poly and blocky or smooth without 3 smooth on. I've been trying to do the latter with as few polys as I could as I could thinking if I did as low as that first pic that it'd look horrid.
