Re: Question about retopology.
I would say it depends on how they were originally made. Because if they were modeled with subdivision, then you already have the basic topology in place. If you made them in a sculpting program, then yeah youll need to retopo them :D In this case, I'd try to see what auto retopo does, and if its mostly ok, id fix up the… -
Re: [Finished] Orc Marauder
How did you convert the fibermeshes to all quad fur/hair cards? A few clicks in ZBrush? I guess the fur strands are the UVs in your leftmost unwrap in the bottom left corner - did you bake any highpoly normals down to them, or did you simply create some variations beforehand that you mapped the cards to afterwards?Very… -
Re: Why .fbx and .obj meshes are quite different?? (-_-) + bonus problem :)
Zbrush can export FBX files, but in this instance it doesn't matter. There's no real difference in a bake if one model is an obj and the other an fbx. It just looks like that obj has been exported without any smoothing groups / user normals. If that lowpoly was exported by Max, check around the exporter to see if it has… -
Re: NEED CRITIQ: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??
Yes it does you have to export from maya with smoothing groups turned on. I have found in my experience baking with smoothed normals on a lowpoly mesh almost always turns out better. To me by the sounds of it, assuming I am following you right and that mesh has baked normals, it baked the hard edge info into the normal… -
Re: Sketchbook: groch
Hey there ;) Here are few of my latest pieces I did. This is a WIP of a lowpoly model done for a game project I was working on: Floor panel for the same project as above: Rusted pipe modeled for fun: Another pipe. I would model and texture it differently now after some time: Some simple tables: Mattresses: Spaceship: Alien… -
Re: The Order 1866 Character Surface Detailing
The slide is confusing. The "simple UVs" you are talking about are related to the lowpoly tiling strips used as decals on the final ingame models. This probably has no relationship with the way detailing was done on the highpoly sculpts (using displacement, the direction of which is controlled by the UVs of each element of… -
Re: Albertine Curtains with Embroidery in Marvelous Designer to Maya Low-Poly Workflow
It took me a long time to do these curtains on The Order 1886, I unfortunately don't have a closer shot. Basically, don't try to emulate the size, or don't try to fake it, make sure you do what the fabric is actually supposed to, and keep moving verts and pinning. And yes, my machine was going nuts when I wanted it to go… -
Re: Expert in a year - 3D artist
About bevelling in geometry Vs baked beveling. You don't always have to bake a normal map for every asset. Whilst it's definitely good practice at this stage it's perfectly fine to just model a lowpoly asset with beveled edges or custom vertex normals without having to model the highpoly counterpart. And then details like… -
Re: Adaga
I marked a red line, its a line yet it has so many edges to describe it, is there a reason? also, the area marked with the red circle, way too many loops, you can get half of these down, if it doesn't affect the silhouette, its out. I just pointed out two areas but you should do this to the whole mesh, other than the… -
Re: Long term personal project - Return to Shadow Moses.
@james01 It's a mix, i used Marvelous to do the heavy lifting, then cleaned up in zbrush, the gloves and boots are all me, as well as the "fluff" that is inside the jacket hood/around the bottom. @Griffiti I remember doing that! you eventually get a call from Miller, right? calling you a bastard haha. @glenatron hey man, i…
