Struggling with unwrapping techniques, could really do with some pointers
Workflow 3DS MAX> Substance painter>UE4 Hi I'm struggling with the unwrapping of this asset and others with chamfers and small fiddly bits. I struggled mostly with the rims around the bottom and chamfered areas. I can do it, but it sometimes takes me hours upon hours, for example this asset has taken me up to 4 hours and… -

Issues with assigning materials
I have been following this tutorial from the Quixel wiki on Workflow Primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyJJAp17K-Y And around 2 mins in I start having issues. When creating smart materials, they do not adhere to the selection processes for masking. For example, when I first added the Dirt Teal Metal it added it with… -
Re: Increase Occlusion Precision in Marmoset?
Yes, the bolts are not combined with geometry beneath. And I use a second bake to fix the black spots underneath - because when the mesh will LOD, the bolts disappear and black spots will be visible. So I bake them "flat" underneath as well: The issue is not exactly that they are separate geometry. Here's another example:… -
Re: Can any Ai based tools could make a clean looking sign/logo from a photo?
Maybe scale it even more down to get a better result. When you feed in a washy image then it will try to upscale this washy look ... there's a plethora of traditional computer vision techniques that will do the job Not this job, unfortunately. Traditional methods will not fill in fine details like hairs or surface… -
Re: First post: I've completed these creature busts, I would like to hear your feedback on it
At first, it seems like it'd be best to do some clay bakes rather than final renders but from first glance it seems like they're good concepts but need some work before you go in detailing the busts. The textures seem to be placed as an afterthought - for example the little bit of damage/wear on the chest of the red bust… -
3D Scanner- What Editing Software should I focus on using?
Hello all, I was wondering what the best free software and file format to use for editing 3D scans for export to a 3d Printer. I have a Miraco Revopoint Scanner and I have Autodesk Fusion, Meshmixer, and Blender. But I would like to focus my learning curve on one software because learning all of them at the same time is… -
Re: Speeding up highpoly hard surface workflow
I imagine modo with rounded edge shader is far more useful but for now I'm making due with quad chamfer and it helps speed things up massively. There's a lot of different ways you can use the quad chamfer modifier. You can for example block out your shapes with it set to quad chamfer by smoothing group with a hardness of… -
Re: Please give me some critique on my Portfolio
Real talk time! 1. Widowmaker is decent enough but aren't a lot of interesting or impressive shapes on it so it doesn't leave too much of an impression. You've added some personalization to it, but the texturing still looks a bit boring. Try to add some more wear and grunge to it. Here's an example of a more interesting…
