Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | July 2014 | Multiple Pieces
Pyrzern: Low looks good man :) No one really cares about polycounts anymore. as long as you dont have disproportionate distribution heh Id copy those small objects. Copying them wont be very noticible IMHO. Youll just have to keep the textures mildly generic i.e no large dents or colours that become apparent on duplication… -
Re: Maya to Max - Internal Polygon Reriangulation
You are quite right but not completely. You've got the result which looks LIKE in MAYA because Maya uses Autoquad function - during modeling it dynamically changes the orientation of internal edges. When you retriangulate the mesh in Max the result LOOKS pretty similar but no identical because the retriangulation… -
Re: Quads and Tris and some other things.
I sometimes use subD to see how the shading on the model is calculated since the shading algorithm in use these days attempts to approximate the subD surface that would result from your model. If I want the mesh to reflect a specific detail I'll make sure it's visible in the subdivided mesh, once the subdivision is removed… -
How to get a perfect vertex normal for cylinder in maya?
Hello guys, I am trying to find a script which can give a perfect normal for cylinder in maya, any suggestions on what are you guys using now? I have tried some smart scripts, but all can not give a good result as the pic below: The vertex normal on the around side is not able to perpendicular the face perfect, but on the… -
SpriteUV - concave mesh sprite packer
Hello everybody! Happy to present you SpriteUV concave mesh generator and packer. Some key features: Extremely tight. Additional 30%-60% texture free space compare to square or other concave packing algorithms Concave mesh from sprite Per sprite adjustments Export to COLLADA or OBJ. Ready to use in any game engine or 3d… -
Re: Which PBR is really physically based?
its not really a matter of opinion - it's an absolute fact that these are approximations and it's openly acknowledged by the people who come up with the fast algorithms that they aren't perfect. Whether it's worth doing anything about is a question you have to answer yourself. Personally, I don't think it's worth the… -
Re: The jQuadrangulateCloth tool thread
@nymbis No problem! @pasha_sevez I don't know about the first case you sent. But I can tell the second one is clearly a stitching problem. If you go back in MD, you'll realize the stitchings aren't snapped in the right point. The algorithm is working fine on that front. It's simply catching up with the fact that those… -
Re: unlimited detail ? no more polygons...
I'm looking forward to this... always had a niggling thought at the back of my mind that this is the way it should be done, especially for vegetation. The next step could be just throwing algorithms at it. Imagine being able to create a scene just from a basic set of instructions about types of plants and terrain type? or… -
Re: [3DS Max] How to smooth this ?
I still think you should do some research on the basics of what NURMS modeling is. There are no options, really. You either sub-d the mesh, or not. When you say 'only a 1/3 of the model needs it', it doesn't really make any sense. It's hard to explain but sub-D modeling techniques like edgelooping/termination/routing… -
Re: The future of art and AI!?
It's heading in the right direction, but it's clearly not there yet. That process uses solid colored images. If you attempt to provide something more complex like a photo you get very iffy meshes. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO1LYJb818Q But it's definitely heading there. Think of any style asset that has a…
