Re: blender displacement bake "Stripes" problem
looks like this assumes that the displacement gets applied to a tesselated (not smoothed) surface. then this result should be correct as it has to displace the angular lowpoly to the smoothed shape. what does this look when applied to the model? -
Re: 3d Worn Down Glass Floor Material Needed
The issue here, and here specficly: http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp193/TalbotFiles/box01normalsmapcopy-1.png?t=1220315826 IS NOT AN OBJECT SPACE MAP. Johny you retard how dare you throw him off the path like this. The problem here is that your highres has HOLES IN IT. Which will give you garbage random colors or some… -
Re: Painting skin weights in Maya
Some tips: Only use the tool in "replace" or "smooth" mode. Subtracting weights doesn't work well, since it doesn't know where to assign the remainder. Sometimes smooth assigns a tiny bit of weight to every joint. I can't remember if Maya has a prune weights tool yet or not, but I wrote one a long time ago. Either have an… -
Monado Sword High-Poly WIP - Advice needed! (warning: lots of images)
Hi everyone - I wanted to improve my high poly modelling skills so I started working on a sword from the game Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii as I felt it has a good mix of sharp edges and curved surfaces (reference below). Progress images: As you can see, I feel I've pretty much finished with it's construction... but this is… -
Lion Flintlock Musket!
My second model, as I've been trying to sort out the UV's on a previous post I had an urge to create something else while I figured out the problems. I decided that a Flintlock musket would be a nice little project with my own little details added. Something new to learn, as I do and learn this as a hobby, our college… -
Gaming Industry standard for rigging characters in Maya?
I am a Max user. That has been my software package for a while now. But I am getting into Maya now. So I was wondering if my pipeline for character rigging is correct. I am basically basing it off of my production experience with Max. I have a character that is split into multiple mesh. Both feet are one mesh, both calves… -
Re: A Portfolio Goal to GDC
Modelling organic stuff with subD is a little weird, not super weird, just a bit odd. None of these are the game res meshes, they're all smoothed. Choose one of these and use it to learn how to bake, UV and texture if you're aiming for the games industry. I think you'll want to learn to sculpt, too, rather than only using… -
Re: How do you create non-stiff character ?? (sculpting)
One thing that I definitely feel like kills the naturalness of your characters is the lumpiness. I've mentioned this to you a couple times, once in the chat while I was watching you work - you scaled back to a lower subdiv for about 5 minutes and then jumped up again. You are definitely improving but you work in way way… -
Re: WIP Tank. Unsure how to fix the UV page.
@Kel-Shaded the high matches the low pretty well. I set up the base high poly in maya by adding support edge loops then brought it into zbrush and divided it with smooth turned off (mostly because zbrush smoothing recedes open edges unlike maya.) the zbrush dividing without smoothing did affect the normal map in that you… -
Re: [MaxScript] Spacing/Distributing a sorted Vertexloop? [3ds max][SOLVED]
After some more research i have found that the solution is even more complex than i had first assumed. The method i had first invisioned would be translating each vert "forward" if the edgeloop is curved. i would only get expected even spacing on a completly straight loop. But would result in the last edge being shorter in…
