Re: Question about uv in Maya
The left image is Smooth Mesh Preview in UV shaded view. In my case there's no red in the UV. And if you are talking about UV Distortion view (white shading preview) then yes, smooth mesh preview shows a little bit of distortion but that can be fixed by smoothing the mesh by a level. I would not advice you to do UV in 3… -
Re: Normal baking from blender to xnormals
Blender had an integrated Xnormal add on? Mother of~ ... Well today just started awesome! Also it supports smoothing groups, you can go manual and assign them yourself by selecting polygons and selecting smooth (or flat respectively), or making them all smooth and using a edge split modifier. *Edit: Damn ninjaed before I… -
Re: Steyr TMP
Hi, Maybe the low needs more work on smoothing groups ? more sharp edges, easy to miss. Just happened to me , that i paid close attention to the smoothing of hipoly , and missed some important sharp edges on the lowpoly affecting the baked map. The gradients in the square-ring in top right of map could come from bad… -
Re: Advice with secondary forms
The point isn't to make the line squiggly, it's to vary the softness and angles of the form break. The simple version of this is applying varying amounts of smooth to different parts of the form break. -
Re: Beat-Up Aged Wood Pallet
I'm still new to this but what do you mean by splitting your smoothing groups along the UV seams? Just assign different smoothing groups? I never understood smoothing groups and this is probably why this is happening. lol And about the padding do I raise the padding level? I think the padding was on the default setting on… -
Re: Unreal Mesh Viewer question...
I will try to put a smoothing group on just flat surfaces, I still think it is weird that it is doing that, I mean why must it have a smoothing group, for example: a cube. Also I cannot seem to find baking smoothing groups, I use ASCII Exporter for unreal. I will give the own element a try, thanks. -
Re: Mudbox question
I'm no expert, but you could have smooth shading turned off? that makes it look really pixelated compared to the smoothness when you have it on. other things, make sure you have a smooth fall-off set or check you don't have a stamp selected to be used because this will make the edges jagged too -
Re: Optimize your 3D models: Atangeo Balancer 1.0 released
@Acumen When exporting, Balancer saves the smoothing data using the normal themselves. Perhaps meanwhile this workaround may be helpful to reconstruct the smoothing groups data in 3ds max:… -
Re: Hard edge - highpoly
Smooth and pinch brush are you friend. Also using masks helps. Try painting a mask over what you want to work on, inverting it, then inflating that a bit, smooth a little and pinch/smooth the edges. Some good zbrush tips here (though not much on hard surfaces) http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/education/zclassroom/class.php -
Mose useful and best edge brushes in Zbrush?
Hey, So I haven't used zbrush that much but I am recreating a Mario level for fun and portfolio hopefully and I am making the tubes I have hard edges and I want to get those smooth edges like that, what are some good zbrush brushes that are good for smoothing edges? I tried the smooth brush and it just doesn't do what I…
