@dimwalker , @DustyShinigami : "Hard UV shells - do you mean assigning different smoothing groups (in max terms) for each shell? Vertices are already separated there GPU-wise so what's the harm in separating smoothing groups too?" Of course I won't blame you for asking a question, but this kind of "what's the harm" stance…
my edges are skewed in a circular manner to the center in this case, so if i'm leaving it perfectly straight i'm getting slight distortion alone from that, but it's not that bad i guess. Unfold strip from loop saves some time! :#
2016 is a bag of shit so that's not a bad shout.. I suspect this is down to poor handling of the mesh if it's not a consistent problem though Personally I'd bring the original source data back in so I could be sure nobody broke it
damn you moose! DAMN YOU! pior... no words can describe.... only this...... <3 i want one. like... really, really bad. yeah... set a deadline... take orders, then make a second run when the funds are in.
Hi! I'm a game artist who works with both 2D and 3D for characters and environments. My work includes character animation, environments, and props modelling. I have experience using Unity, Godot, and GameMaker. Most of my environment work uses modular pieces for level design. Send me a DM in case you´re interested in my…
nice one pior! I've been thinking about using this technique as a base for concepts too, so I thought I'd give it a go with some similarly abstract shapes. Goin slowly at the mo, what with christmas/new year and all. I skipped the 3d strokes step in this one, which turned out to be a bad idea
Sadly your going to have to use the split polygon tool though its not that bad though from what I remember they improved the split polygon tool a tonne in 2012.
Yeah my bad on that. My mindset is still kind of stuck on Zbrush as being kind of an adjunct 3d tool, like Mudbox, or Topogun, or whatever. But it's grown a lot over time.
I could really use some help here please. For some reason in Max2017, In the orthographic viewports I lose visibility of aspects of my mesh when I'm in sub selection mode. When I select the 'whole' mesh, the wires are white and I can see just fine. But as soon as I try to adjust verts / edges / faces, the wires almost…
