Re: Normal map smoothing groups problem
The faces at the bottom of the image are not actually attached. they are just close together. the bottom face used to be at the top of the image and i moved it closer to the other face to see if having them apart was causing the error. all the faces are split. they are split because each face has a different SG. i thought… -
Re: How To Solve This Issue with Triangles and Smoothing Groups?
Do the triangles appear in the baked normal map too? There's an issue that shows up if you bake the normal map with Vray - some faces appear faceted, and I think this could also happen if there's a normal map mismatch between programs. -

Re: Man I'm sometimes freaking the fuck out
I think this model looks solid - but I completely understand reworking something until it loses all creative meaning and interest. It happens to me frequently. I don't know if there's any golden bullet answer to these kinds of creative habits, but I find I work best within parameters and deadlines. When the sky is the… -
Re: Request for Honest Critique – Realism Assessment on Octane Product Render
Some things I noticed: The angle is really odd. Your lighting mainly seems to rely on an HDRI environment (of an empty office/industrial space?) rather than a studio setup. And if you did set lights, then the HDRI works against that. Some of the reflections seem to have little or no Fresnel falloff when facing the camera.… -
