Re: The Wonders of Normal Map Baking
Is is that necessary to use baked normals on this simple shapes? As you also can see, none of your results are perfect. One way to get better result would be to use hard edges, the second way would be to use chamfers (don't worry, its ok in 2014). Anyways, you would avoid a lot of headache if you would simply go with… -
Extra shape nodes in maya
I'm currently making some tools to cleanup empty shape nodes in maya. I know that the shape nodes are essentially containers for vertexes and so on but does anyone have any insight on why maya would create an empty shape node? Is there anything wrong with just deleting these shape nodes? They seem to cause a lot of… -
HardCuts – voxel based hard surface modeling tool (Alpha released)
Hi everyone, Today I released the Alpha version of a tool I’ve been developing called HardCuts. HardCuts focuses on fast hard-surface concept modeling using voxel booleans and parametric shapes. The idea behind the tool is to make workflows like these very fast: • blockout shapes • boolean cutters • base mesh creation •… -
Re: Low Poly attempts (showcased incompetence)
Hey :) No need beating yourself up about this! A clear difference from your result to the style you are referencing is the shading. If you inspect the original, you will notice it looks quite flat, the layered appearance is due to variation in colour/value applied to the faces. Either the shading of the geometry is… -
Superspecular soft edges tutorial chapter 1
Tutorial to improve Shading of your low poly models and get rid of hard edges or surfaces that heavy depend upon normalmapping. It will introduce techniques i use that makes normalmapped model looks better. Tutorial for Superspecular soft edges tecniques i used on this model to let it perform good edge specularity without… -
Re: Road to the Academy of Art Spring Show - Tim Woody
also I'm not quite sure on how to present this thing.. I tried doing the invisible floor thing where you just see the mirror reflection but being that modo is a physical renderer it reflected light up into the model making the shading completely flat... I was wondering if anyone had any tips on turntable presentations. I'm… -
Directional Bevel - and other Substance Share nodes - Where to find them?
Hey everyone, I noticed that a lot of (paid?) nodes that used to be available on old substance share and get mentioned in articles about Designer or shipped as dependencies with .sbs files are rather hard to find nowadays. Some of them migrated to artstation and gumroad - but a few of them I am still unable to track down.… -

Hello everyone! I would like to announce that we’ve finally completed our final year project film! I haven’t updated this thread in a while since we were fully focused on production and polishing for submission, but I wanted to share the final result along with some behind-the-scenes progress. Huge thanks to everyone… -
Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
Oh by the way, I should also probably mention the following as it is a bit of a personal journey : a few years ago (way before the emergence of slop machines like ChatGPT and Midjourney), developments in the field of machine learning made me daydream about the possible ways of, for instance, sketching a rough shape and…
