Re: avoiding normal issues in UE3?
This looks more like unwelded verts or wierd smoothing groups more than anything to do with the normals map. Try welding your uvs, making sure everything has the correct smoothing. The pictire with the flat normals looks like it has incorrect smoothing, i dont know anything about UE3, but in our engine if i were to get… -
bunker environment (June challenge #20 continuation)
http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135400 I'm still working on last month's challenge (20) linked above. At this point I have a few questions about scene management: First of all this was my first time dealing with so many things in so many files. If anyone has scene and file management advice I would love to… -
[wip] Pick head Axe - Low poly modeling and Normal Maps
Ok, so I'm new at taking the idea modeling to low poly in regard for use in a game engine. I'm starting out simple. I've done some research on mapping and such as I've really only focused on the modeling aspect itself in high poly. Right now I'm working on a Pick head Axe in 3Ds Max. From what I understood from various… -
Re: [WIP] Old Arched house Environment
This is looking lovely! About what should be peeling off, I don't know how familiar with proper solid brick buildings you are, but usually structures are built with bricks + mortar, then receive a layer of cement, then plaster, and finally paint. On external walls or walls that don't need to be smooth - when not due budget… -
Re: 3ds Max OpenSubDiv uglyness
It's just extension of what you can do. You can still use edge loops to get same results. The issue goes away when you have enough geo in the 'smooth' area, be that by adding sub-d levels, or by adding geo traditionally. Additionally making the crease smoother makes the effect less visible, while smoothing sharp edges.… -
Re: Maya UVW mapping
Someone already has said; it's the Smooth UV tool. It's in the UV Texture Editor. Under Tool>Smooth UV Tool. Make sure you select the UVs you want to relax, (the whole shell), and then hit the Smooth UV Tool button, at which point a couple of sliders will pop up down in the left hand corner, one which says Unfold, one says… -
Re: Sculpting prop issues...And passing them to UE4
@AlecMoody i did as you suggested, i used 4 textures and exploded my model to build different normal maps, it worked out great.I used 1 texture for the side planes, 1 texture for the skeleton 1 texture for the doors and 1 texture for the metal bars+floaters.Now, i'm having issues on the shading in UE4. Does this have to do… -
Re: Yet another MP5K!
i can see normal map seams on edges , i think uv's are not separated or if you have baked maps in substance painter try to give one smoothing group wherever you get this seams . idk why substance painter does this but sometimes even if your uv's are separated it will give a seam at those edges so to get a nice smooth edge… -
Re: My very first non-tutorial model. What do you pros think?
There are ways you can re-arrange your edges to make quads if you have tris, or ngons. It just takes a little thinking, almost like a puzzle. Just try to keep your lines flowing smoothly with an even distance between them. And like previously mentioned you want the shape to be pretty close to what you want before you… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!
Basically, you take a traditional low poly model, with smoothing groups, apply a turbosmooth (make it smooth by smoothing groups), do anywhere from 1-3 iterations (controls edge softness), then add another regular turbosmooth. You get a pretty good high poly model with way less effort and way less control edges. The only…
