Re: Worlds worst normal map. What have I done wrong?
I don't think I know enough to recognize errors unless they are egregious. If the color channels are inverted, wouldn't that be indicated by high points appearing low and vice versa? As far as the height looks, everything looks good to me. There is a big ugly seem on the shoulders... There are a few artifacts which show… -
Re: Bright spots in my lightmap.
Do you have some BSP in the scene ? Or any emissive material that bake some lighting ? If yes then remove them, from my personal tests they give a lot of errors when building the lighting, lightmass seems to have some problem building the lighting with them. It's a sort of random error, so sometimes you just have to… -
Re: General Question about modeling simple props with many shapes
The rails, sight, bolt, bolt flap, charging handle, and mag are separate bits as they all(except the rails, which were done to client spec) can be removed/animated. The main bulk of the body/stock are all one mesh though. Not sure why you would get bake errors from having the lowpoly as less mesh chunks, generally the more… -
Re: maya 2014
No I have not. thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately I don't have it installed on this machine but I will try this to see if it helps. As far as I remember it was a red text on the bottom of the screen saying that there was was an error with importing the texture- it was tga and I tested with 32 bit and 16 bit files-… -
Re: External Hard Drive issues :(
I don't think I've ever seen errors like that before, those are pretty weird. Did you format that external drive? or just try to use it straight out of the box? Sometimes retail external hard drives are formatted funny and need to be reformatted to work properly. One other thing to consider, is the cable connecting the PC… -
My first ever model (Dota 2 Drow bow)
Hi all, after weeks of trial and error, and countless nights learning how to 3d model, uv mapping and applying textures. I finally finished my first ever model for Dota 2, it's a bow for Drow. I literally have started over 10 times before I finish modelling, uv mapping, normal mapping, texturing and importing without some… -
Digital Human Sculpt Process
Following Scott Spencer's Digital Human book. At the retopology stage. After several hours of trial and errors I finally got a semi-decent projection. But I still came across some projection errors where I had to use the morph brush to literally erase some parts completely. Now I'm gonna resculpt the lost details. Then I… -
[Wip] Combat Knife
Hey guys! This is my first post at polycount so lets make it count. I have been struggeling with this knife for far to long. I want to get it done but I run into loads of baking and smoothing errors.:poly118:. Somehow the cage in Xnormal is set to tight not baking the floating geometry and causing really weird random… -

Re: NEW INDIE SURVEY: Kits, Plugins and Training for MODO Indie?
I think Modo Indie (or whatever version they're marketing to game devs) would be more of a success for The Foundry if they just enable poly and scripting restrictions. Who cares about dynamics, animation (even in the full version character anim is still a bitch and you pay extra for a good rig), and rendering. All these…
