Re: [3dsMax][Texturing] Unwrap long rounded shapes
looking at this reference I think you could use a spherical unwrap as a base. i'd probably do that with a grid texture, bake it to the UVs I want and then paint/work over that. -
Scale drift between Blender, Unreal, and Maya — how do you manage it?
I’m curious how others here handle unit and scale consistency across different tools and engines. In my experience, scale drift tends to creep in over time — especially when assets move between Blender, game engines, and other DCCs. Even when everyone “knows” the correct units, small inconsistencies still seem to cause… -
Re: Weighted Normals (Mid Poly) Workflow Clarification?
In most use cases, mid poly modeled with appropriate detail will serve as both the source and target mesh, without the need for a conventional high to low poly bake workflow. In other words Substance Painter for example, enables the user to self-bake their mesh maps. Anyhow check out these comprehensive tutorials which… -
Re: assault rifle
Not nearly done, but well underway. I have some questions about polyflow at this point. I'm concerned about big weird creases that I seem to get when baking tangent space normal maps with xnormal. It seams that if I optimize the low mesh as much as I like to, I get weird smoothing errors on the final normal map. So I'm… -
Re: Underground German Hospital
Hey cool scene. One big critique I have would be how you lit it, right now everything's just in shade, and my eyes are brought to the pillow, and everything else just blends into each other. Maybe having some ambient occlusion may help get a little more POP with you props. But i like the texture work, and layout, nice and… -
Re: Quad Optimize?
lol shut the fuck up noob! haha that quote from me, today i do almost anything with quick basemeshes in production as they are so much more flexible to clients wishes in many cases. @TorQue: i just recently tried to use it and the meshes are pretty much as useless as zremesher meshes, even with guides they only follow the… -
Hair in Maya/Arnold Problem
Hello everyone. Lurking forever, but decided to ask here about an issue I found, hopefully this is the right forum. One of my students is trying to add hair to a character in Maya/Arnold using planes (on a Standard Arnold Material) while some areas look great, we are having certain issues where the planes are intersecting… -
Help me figure out how to texture this 3d tiles system
I'm more of a programmer than a 3d artist and this is more of a system design question than a 3d art issue so I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me :) Anyway, I'm currently programming a 3d "tile" system for a personal project. Each tile is uniform in x/y and… -

Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
I started looking in to making a bunch of glass containers. With all the references I gathered and looking at the scene, I feel like there's going to be a lot of different bottles, jars, vials, etc. The more variation the better; different silhouettes, sizes and such will help make the scene feel busy. But I really didn't…
