Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
Have a model where half of it is unwrapped, duplicated flipped and combined/verts merged and uv's offset by -1. I am getting a seam with an xnormal bake but not with maya, is there anyway to get xnormal baking without the seam like maya's bake? I've reproduced the error with a simple beveled cube and provided a download… -
Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
what are you looking to display the final model in? I find baking in max to be way easier than xnormal. Getting an averaged cage projection isn't a hassle and the "hit only matching material ID" feature is awesome. I recorded a baking tutorial for 3dmotive last year:… -
Re: Textures and Terrain - tiling and procedural texturing in UE3 and UDk
A good way to avoid tiling with especially such thing as terrain, is to use vertex paint. You can have a shader with 2-3 different grass textures and maybe some dirt textures, and use vertex paint to decide which textures should bland and where. Sometimes you can get more out of having two 512x512 with different textures,… -
Re: First dive into character creation.
http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials_3/head_modeling_3dsmax/head_modeling_3dsmax_01.php This is a pretty sweet tutorial to apply to all your character modeling... Your topology looks soooo flllllllllllat. You need to take off the clothes from the character and study the muscles and use your edges to highlight and accent… -
Re: First environment tips needed
be carefull there mate, working to a grid is par for the course in Environment art, suggesting it can simply be ignored is pretty bad advice. making environments usually requires alot of modular work, which works much more smoothly when created on a grid. here's some good stuff to look at… -
Re: Re-designed Soul Calibur Environment
Looking good but I do have a couple of suggestions. I'd defiantly put some alphas on the leaves in the tree. I'd suggest looking at the 3D Motive videos on the subject http://www.3dmotive.com/training/3ds-max/creating-foliage-for-udk/?follow=true. The flickering light from the fires needs to be a bit more subtly and… -
Re: MW3 Teaser
I completely agree, and thank you for articulating it better than I could have. I feel the same way about people who complain about there being too many games with space marines. You never hear the same complaint about there being too many games with elves or wizards. Haters gonna hate. Anyway, this looks pretty legit.… -

Re: Sketchbook: Olivier Primeau
Let's start with an older but completed project. This is a 3d model vaguely based on two WW2 planes, the famous Japanese ZERO and the American F4F. This has been a learning experience, and so the topology clearly isn't the best. My interest was to create a product that could be used in the Warthunder CDK engine, but…
