Re: Looking for critique (completed asset)
Hi! My main critique with the mesh is that some curved elements are low resolution (main tank, wheels) compared to others (chimney, pistons), resulting in a visibly facetted silhouette. I think the overall shading looks a tad too soft in places and shows some gradients. If you plan to rely on mesh-shading opposed to a… -
[MAYA] Surface-Based Asset Generation
EDIT : You can get ShapeShifter right here. Hey guys :) For the past months I've been working around 30 minutes to two hours on a project that involves automatic generation of game assets.This thread will be used to have some feedbacks and update the project at the same time :) Keep in mind that i rarely work on this… -
Re: On making panels on hard surfaces workflow
If I want to separate the mesh into more objects, I usually Chamfer the edges in Edit Poly and then ad the reinforced edges. And depending on the model, I decide how many Chamfer segments to ad. There shouldn't be any gap, since the vertices in the middle are snapped together, and the reinforced edges keep them in place.… -
Re: Need help with character model in Maya
thanks for the reply I appreciate it. But the edge loop selects the whole loop horizontally around the model. I want to click on the same edge but delete the whole vertical rows of those horizontal edges in between the vertical and collapse those. Sort of like slicing the characters row of vertical faces and deleting them… -
Re: 3Ds Max 2012 sneak peek
Haven't read through all of this, but I have found something annoying in 2012. Normally in editable poly you can go into edge mode and select "turn" to turn edges on your quads. The hidden edges show up as dotted lines that you can click on. In 2012 for whatever reason, you can't see ANY lines for the hidden edges. Am I… -
Re: Blender interaction/hotkey presets
Max 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 (verts - edges - border - faces - shell - exit) Maya f9 - f10 - f11 - f12 (verts - edges - faces - UVs) Combining them with CTRL converts the current selection into whatever you want. Also Max remembers the last vert selection even after you go to edge mode and select edges. Maya allows you to… -
Re: Soft vs Hard
Hard = she's happy. Soft = she laughs at you. When it comes to hard surface, if you plan on sculpting then you will likely turbosmooth (or soft). how you keep crisp edge to make it still appear hard while still getting the additional geometry in there is by adding edge loops near edges. the closer two edge loops are… -
Re: Max Isolate face / Cut tool alternative
For Editable Poly (and many other) objects, there are hide/unhide options for faces, verts, edges in the Command Panel under the Edit Geometry rollout. You have to be in sub-object mode to see these. Edge connect will work if you haven't broken your edge rings. If not, and you want to cut all the way around the model,… -
Re: Blender + xNormal = normalmap issue
I mean that I split only edges (on the model) that are marked as sharp. And I don't know what do you mean in your second sentence :D Here it is how I'm doing that: - flatten mapping my UV and then stitching pieces - select hard edges on the model and mark them as sharp - apply Edge Split modifier with checked "sharp edges"… -
Re: Gears of War Smoke Grenade
Ghostscape, The only thing im worried about with "loosening" the edges is that when i apply the map to the low poly ill get that weird look because the low poly will have a sharp edge and if the edges arent a little sharp on the high poly then it's going to have that blackness you get when you apply a really rounded edge…
