Re: Trim Sheet floaters seams problem
Not much of a mystery when you look at the color value difference...color pick the pixel on the edge of the floater and if it's not 128 128 255, you are making detail at the edge of the float. Anyway the diffusion/blur of the normal map detail is off the chart. remake the normal detail so it's sharper and doesn't diffuse… -
Re: Artifact in Marmoset
No, it looks like he's using hard edges but hasn't split his uv shells. (Edit, actually it looks like both.) Though setting all of the edges to soft in maya will introduce different types of errors (smoothing errors). Make sure "match using" is set to "Geometry Normals" in the advanced tab in transfer maps, this will fix… -
Re: Walther P38
thanks for that alberto. i have gone ahead and addressed some of those issues BUT for judging of edges to compare thickness, as they appear irregular from one another, know that the front of the slide is not the intended edge thickness i am going to have, since that part is actually chamfered on the gun i will be doing… -
Re: Normal Map on Cylindrical objects
That thread is great. Here are the short answerers drawn from that thread. More edge around the cylinder will help a lot. You do have to model your high poly around your lowpoly limitations. Avoiding 90 degree angles can help make things easier, if it's possible. Adding an edge loop where something is wavy will help if… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 M-13 Raptor - Critique Requested
So just as soon as I dare to post "the dog" I believe I figured a work around. I made the entire original mesh smooth edges in Maya just to try it and it looks like it worked. I suppose it will never look as good as it does in Maya (which I suppose proves why you need to show it here in UDK). Its as if a combination of… -
Re: Maya or Max
Maya for sure, especially if it's just character stuff. I have used both for years, and my personal opinion is that Maya is far superior when it comes to animation. Max's modeling tools, on the other hand, are way better (in my opinion, again.) Example: Maya's lack of a "connect edges" tool means you have to keep good edge… -
Re: Yet another sci-fi corridor
Addendum: one of my pals told me that it's a good way to get smooth edges on corners with tileable textures that'll be right in the player's face - it saves a lot of time that'd have to be spent baking normals and assigning unique UV-space to corners. For example: You've got a pillar that's just using simple geometry and a… -
Re: My very first non-tutorial model. What do you pros think?
I did a rough paintover. Basically, the edge flow around the mouth was quite off. You want your edges to flow as smoothly as possible. You also don't want n-gons, like I said before. terminate the edges into other edges, which should be quite easy to do in most areas of your model. You also need to rely less on turbosmooth… -
Re: Fozwroths WIP n stuff
alright so here is my litte dump from this project then :) got a little sidetracked during the days. Everything is pretty straight forward just modelled things like they should be, round shapes being round etc. I used a soft edge trick to get a more pleasant smoothing on edges, its just the normal edge with 2 control edges… -
Re: Geo-loop
To get the average plane I think to get the average center, then edge by edge do a cross product between edge vector and the vector from the center to the edge, then get the average normal from all cross products, it should be the average plane normal, the same used in flatten. I'm not completely sure, haven't tested it…
