Re: [Lightmaps] What causes these lighting errors on my meshes?
Thanks for the info! I just read the forum post you linked me, and turned off "edge-padding", but it just added to the glitchery, the problems are still there (exactly as in the screenshots, just in a different map with different lighting conditions), except now they look like this:- New edge seam problems (different to… -
Re: ZBrush 4R5
Is there any way to turn off autosaving? I can't find an option to do so in preferences, and I'm usually pretty good at saving regularly. It gets a little annoying when I'm flowing in my work and the autosave pops up preventing me from doing anything for a minute or two... EDIT: After spending more time with 4r5 I'm… -
Re: Problem with xnormal during bake
Hi there are a lot of things that can go wrong when baking normal maps. I'm not sure why you have these strong vertex shading in your normal map. Check if "Highpoly normals override tangent space" button is checked in the Low definition meshes options of your object. If you haven't done so already, start by reading all of… -
Re: Tutorials and such...
Tutorials generally teach you how to use software. Anatomy is one of several things you should learn to make you a better artist. If your stuff looks like crap, it's probably down to your being a crappy artist than to not knowing how to use software. There are (usually) no magic buttons or techniques that just make things… -
Re: Half-Life Project
odium: my normal map has almost no noise at all. although i did add some noise to the diffuse to give it that beige plastic look. i think the buttons looks weird because they dont get enough res on the texture. ill try a higher res. (oh, the buttons dont have a cage..its just flat on the front there on the lowpoly) MoP:… -
Re: do you soften or harden beveled edges on hard surfaces?
You need to split UV edge when you split vertex normals along an edge (i.e make the edge "hard" or in 3d max terms set different smooth group in adjacent faces. For a videocard it's no difference would you just split the geometry ) Beveled edge on the other hand allows you to keep smooth shading across it. So unified… -
Maya auto naming and bridge to Marmoset
Hi, guys. I made a tool for quick rename and transfer your meshes to Marmoset Toolbag(3.08) the older version doesn't have python support for quick load FBX in the baking group. https://gumroad.com/products/EUKea I did this basically because I tired of popup export windows and choosing a path to export FBX and then choose… -
Strong emitting light within simple ambient occlusion bake ?
alright, i have another question. since i can't texture and won't learn it in 1000 years i use the ambient occlusion rendering method within 3dsmax (scanline render with light tracer) as a base for all of my tf2-models. no every now and then i have these "light sources" in my models (especially on my lights pack ;) ) and… -
Sketchfab Integration
Tired of showing off your models with plain old 2D images like some sort of caveman? Well we have teamed up with the guys at Sketchfab to put an end to that. Now when creating a post on Polycount, you will find a new button that will allow you to embed Sketchfab's viewer and display your work in full 3D. Of course, this… -
Tessellate and Connect (Script Request?)
Hey guys just been watching one of Gilesruscoe's modelling timelapse videos using Blender (Video). At 00:43 + you can see him select a polygon and create a tesselated and connected leg shape with a click of a button (I believe). Is this possible in Max (With a click of a button)?. I have fiddled with many modifiers and…
