Hi again, So I've done more tests and I think that what is going on is an exporter issue. When exporting to .fbx, if I leave the option to "split per-vertex normals" unchecked, then I don't seem to get the same problem with edges showing up on the model. I've imported it into UDK and fortunately that seems good too.…
Hey, I'm no expert in zbrush but I've come across that issue once : I found that with the noise maker you can wrap an alpha around your mesh, even if it's cylindrical. But you do need proper UVs. Once you exported your character inside Zbrush, go to Noise maker / click on UV so it wraps the pattern around the UV, and click…
Hello! I started learning Plasticity recently and wanted to share some of my thoughts about the software. Maybe this will be interesting for people like me, who have a poly-modeling background and consider giving CAD a go. First of all I was pleasantly surprised how "artist" friendly Plasticity is. The interface is very…

Hi! I wanted to ask about an issue which occured to my normal map through baking in Substance Painter (2024). The UV seams of my mesh are clearly showing, which doesnt let it be solved through using triplanar projection, using Smudge or Stamp Tools or a brush. This tex is baked in 4k, but will be still too visible for the…
I'd like to export it so that I can blur the maps while having control and not having seams. I'm not sure if UDK has a feature for bluring cube maps (with decent control) or not. As far as export, I originally tried to export the cube map texture itself but it seems there isn't an export option for it (there was an error).…
Yep Sub D is was increases the polycount of the model IF you use it. That's what makes the model so smooth. But yes you COULD go about doing convert> smooth mesh, but that's not ideal since you'll lose your original mesh unless you duplicate a backup. If you want to just be able to select your Sub D mesh and export it…
Alrighty, revision: The only vital thing your .smd needs to know before export is where the material files will be in relation to the game directory you are going to put the .mdl in after compiling. And it needs to have at least a generic material attached to the .smd on export? And it will find the actual textures later?…
Everything was going great until Marmoset 1.10 tore my rig and animation to pieces. I spent 2 days following this tutorial to rig my creature in Maya http://www.digitaltutors.com/tutorial/1371-Rigging-Quadrupeds-in-Maya He uses some kind of "flexi" rig system that relies on nurbs deformation and even a bit of n-hair I…
A buddy of mine works at Wild Tangent and he pointed me to this posting. I'm happy where I'm at so I decided to share =) http://tbe.taleo.net/NA2/ats/careers/requisition.jsp;jsessionid=8945A94939F33B377D060B1FCBB35A5F?org=WILDTANGENT&cws=1&rid=35
