Re: Mirroring and stacking UVs leads to tangent discontinuity and seam
Thanks for the response. I do want the butterfly/mirroring effect in this case but not the seam. Can you clarify what a material finish filter is? I'm using the brushed aluminum material in Painter. It really seems like a left-hand/right-hand tangent space mismatch kind of like what is described for Maya… -
Re: How to avoid seams when using generators of noise etc?
say you work on clothing. put the UV seams where the actual seams of the tailoring are. if you have hard surface do them at the angles not through clean surfaces etc. on a head, inside the lips, inside the eyelids, behind the ears, on the back of the head that covered by hair usually you can't always avoid placing seams… -
Re: How to create roughness map in photoshop?
Roughness is the inverse of glossiness. White values in roughness indicate a rough surface, while darker tones indicate smoother (shinier) surfaces. As for "how" to make them, you would need to have an accurate idea of what value corresponds to the surface you're trying to re-create. Two good links:… -
Re: Aircraft Panels: to model, or to map?
I've always had problems making panels for my hard-surface models but lately I've started drawing on the meshes surface directly (Grease Pencil in Blender) to outline the panels and then extract these panels by cutting them out from the original surface with the knife tool. This workflow makes it a lot easier to plan out… -
Re: Sea Guardian WIP
I like how it came together in the second image. There's a lot of excellent work in here, great surfaces. The main thing I would look out for is your primary details getting muddied by your surface details. There are a couple places on the tentacles where the sculpted alpha are a little unevenly applied, and it makes the… -
Re: [3ds max] OpenSubdiv issue
You need to crease the edges on the flat where the 90 degrees meets. There is too much tension on the surface. Opensubdiv(and creasing generally) is not a perfect solution in every situation, especially where E-poles (3 valance), N-poles (5 valance), and sparse topology are concerned. You may often need to add edgeloops to… -
Re: 3ds Max Working Pivot to Local Pivot?
I think I get what you're after... Try: - Turn on edit working pivot. - Click the Align tool (not quick align) - Click the object that has the pivot you want and - In the dialog that pops up check on each axis under "Align Orientation (local)" Not as easily no... You could try: - Create a dummy object. - Align the copy to… -
Creating a Retro Portal Chamber in Unreal Engine 5
Knowing how important it is to keep honing my skills as an environment artist and 3D modeler, I spent my free time over the last few months building this retro, Mid Century-inspired secret laboratory. Although I have years of experience in Unreal, I wanted to keep expanding my knowledge of its systems, especially the ones… -
Re: Baked high to low normal map has seams in Arnold CPU render on all hard edges.
I tried it in Marmoset toolbag with ray tracing on a year or two ago and it was same as in Arnold for hard/split edges. But might did something wrong. Its a bit foggy now . Curious to learn if it works now? As of world space to tangent space normal map convertion you don't need handplane, you can do it in SDesigner baker… -
To learn Zbrush first then Maya or vice versa
Okey.... i think i am starting to losing my mind. And sometime i am not sure what to do. I want to become character modeler. So for that, i want to use Zbrush sickly for character and creatures, or for some concept design. hard surface maybe. Not sure if hard surface in Zbrush is good for production. But For hard surface,…
