Re: Just a simple (bloody) backpack and possible a wicked flashlight
Polycount really does depend upon context - if you're just going to render it in Max, feel free to push it to the limit. In games, however, there's no reason to spend polygons where they won't be seen, even given how many polygons we get to use even in "low poly" models today. The laces can certainly be modeled as a plane… -
Re: zbrush stroke,precise positioning
ya St.Sabath, you are right.I did wrong within maya in first place.I correct pivot and axis.Now it is ok with snapping in zbrush.With blurry details,I do have to re-mesh the model from scratch,don't I? Because my mesh is already exceeding the polycount limit of zbrush.I guess some area have very dense polygon and some area… -
Re: Max vs. Modo
Just select the instances, select them in the item list and then right click and change their type to Mesh? Modo's symmetry issues mostly stem from the way it calculates normals of non-planar polygons. You'll see asymmetries ekeing their way in whenever you use bevel or push or such on non-planar polys (because it uses the… -
Re: Maya Crease Tool Vs Holding Edges
Very true, but lets be fair to the Catmull-Clark SubD here. There are some huge advantages including rendering tessellation and its unique, powerful crease tool this thread is all about. For hard surface models, the crease tool actually does a great job of holding the form. If you wanted to get the results in polygons,… -

Re: Rays missed during normal bake
Select the mesh, right click, go to object properties and turn on "backface cull". This will turn the back faces of all polygons transparent making it easy to spot the ones that are flipped. The normal modifier doesn't unify normals it only reverses every face, so what was flipped is correct, but what was correct is now… -
Re: [WIP] Sewer
Looks cool, first thing that comes in mind is, this is Unreal Engine 3, so dont be affraid to use more polygons. Now im not saying, be reckless, but..just dont be affraid to make stuff look better by using more polygons. For example, the tunnel, I probably would have used more segments to make it smoother. Also, try to… -
Re: Character WIP: Obi
You have a lot of n-gons in there. Having 4+ sided polygons will lead to really bad subdivision and probably some tessellation once it's in Zbrush. I'd suggest taking more time and evening out your polygon distribution, making sure your mesh is composed entirely or almost entirely of quads, and making sure your mesh flow… -
Weird displaying of the model in Marmoset
Hello guys! I'm here for the first time and I need your help! I have created 3D model of a house and it looks okay in both 3ds Max (VRay) and Unreal Engine. However, when importing this model to Marmoset or Sketchfab I recieve some strange artifacts. Polygons turn dark, and some blinking on faces. I don't know why, because… -
