well i can just about manage to paint masks in blender, but proper texturing, no way, just too sluggish. (I do car stencils ok though) Hope it gets a rewrite. I did try 3dcoat a few years back but it ran like a dog on my machine. I did buy the early version of toolbag, but not the later ones oddly enough i can do nice…
In Toolbag, the mesh normals will be averaged rather than read directly from the cage mesh. To fix these kinds of issues, you can use the skew painting tools in the baker.
I actually finished this a few months ago, but it's taken me a while to get all this together for presentation. This is actually a model I'm going to demo in an upcoming video character art tutorial I'm trying to make for CGCircuit. I have to thank them for their extreme patience with me... I've been chipping away at this…
I've seen banding in the backgrounds in a lot of Toolbag 2 renders, so I figured I would write a short post explaining why it happens and how to fix it. First off, the underlying issue is a problem of bit-depth, there simply isn't enough values in an 8-bit image to represent a perfectly smooth gradient. The effect of this…
Final result of my project created for ArtStation Challenge 'Medieval: Back and Forth'. Presented in Marmoset Toolbag 4, with some post-processing done in Photoshop. Except for the pants, all cloth was sculpted from scratch. HP Breakdown - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/LRl1Q0 Concept by Yuhong Ding
Hi! Checking the lowpoly in Blender with the Normalmap applied, there are similar shading errors as you show. How does the lowpoly + Normalmap look in Toolbag? Did the shading of the lowpoly change by any chance since the bake? That said, I agree with gnoop on improving the lowpolys' shading. Hard edges at steep angles…
Ha, yea a lot has changed since 2010. The search widget was added 4-5 years ago depending on what version you are on that may not be helpful, there where two versions of max that technically had the search feature in the app but it was disabled because of grumps that didn't like having x bound to search and wanted it back…
