Hard Surface Normal Maps
So I'm trying to create some normal maps for some hard surface objects. Like a table for instance. I want a normal map so that I can get the look of nice smooth edges on my low poly so that the lighting will reflect off of it nicely in game. But here's my problem, I keep getting gradients going across the top of my flat… -
Maya question about Sub Div surfaces..
I'm learning Maya at the moment, so bear with me... When I hit the 3 key, it turns my polygons into sub division surfaces; right? The reason why I'm asking is, after I hit the 3 key, I went to modify and tried to convert the sub division surfaces to polygons, it said that it couldn't do that... Kind of confused here... And… -
Hard Surface Retopology
Hi everyone! I'd like to ask if there is a way to retopologize hard surface objects automatically. For examlple I have this simple model. Just simple extrusions from a cube. I just wanted to have equal all quads topology like at least 1.5-2k quads I have tried Z remesher, and polyRetopo in maya and none of it produced good… -
Approach for PBR correctness of coated or treated metal surfaces (Metal/Rough & Spec/Gloss)
Hey everyone, I've been texturing hard surface assets for a while now but still run into the same issue, that especially coated metal surfaces (Anodized Aluminium, Blued Steel etc.) get later on critiqued as not quite PBR correct. While this is somewhat of a problem with Metal/Rough where I am not sure how much to reduce… -
Spline Slices to Surface
hello, I have lots of splines which are parts of the rat brain. now I wonder if there is a relatively robust way to connect splines to create a hull shape ? this is 3dsmax5. The only things that came to my mind is actually surface modifier (which would require me to connect each spline slice with the next on multiple… -
How efficient is Zbrush regarding Hard Surface Modeling
Hey there, I have reached a point in my Zbrush path where I want to start incorporating hard surfaces. I have seen a few tutorials on youtube of varying quality showing people making helmets and other hard surface objects on Zbrush. I'm wondering what your opinions on the matter is. I have some experience on Blender and I… -
Hard Surface Modelling Blog
http://teamjunkfish.com/2015/03/art-blog-25-hard-surface-modelling-techniques-part-1/ Hey guys. I am starting to write up a short series of tutorials on my blog about modelling techniques I have learnt over the course of the 2 years that I have been making games in the hopes of helping other artists. I hope in time that… -
Maya Hard Surface DVD's?
Ahoy there fellow polycounters! Like the title suggests i'm currently scanning the interwebs for Maya tutorials focused on hard surface modeling (tanks, armor, etc). Kind of like this one - for 3Dmax: http://eat3d.com/dozer_part1 So yeah, if you know of any good ones, please feel free to post links, reviews and stuff here.… -
Looking for a hard-surface modeler
I'm currently looking for a hard-surface modeler interested in working with mechanical parts from small arms. I have a small project dedicated to visualization of small arms operation, which requires me to have models of every part. This gig would consist of modeling only, there is no need for texturing, doing a low poly… -
