Trying to get rid of jagged edges
For the past week I've been trying to figure out a way to get rid of jagged edges from my painted textures. So far I have not succeeded in getting rid of them :( . I've tried subdividing my mesh to a million polies in Zbrush in order to get nice, smooth, crisp, lines and so far it looks good at high polycounts. The problem… -
3DS MAX - Smooth edge shader
I noticed that Blender has a great working solution for a smooth edge shader where the mesh edge normals are rendered with smooth edges without having to do any chamfering, edgeloops or actual bevelling of the polygons. This saves a huge time on the development part and doesn't require reworking the model all over to add… -
Smoothing Out Edge Borders in Zbrush?
Is there some particular reason why I can't smooth edge borders? I might be wrong on this but I think back in Zbrush 3.1 you used to be able to smooth out the edge borders using the smooth brush. I am able to do this in Mudbox cleaning up artifacts along edge borders after a projection but can't do this in Zbrush. I have… -
Border edges cannot be made soft in Maya
I created a mesh from a plane primitive and cannot remove the hard edges on its border (shown in purple) This is causing issues when I try to extrude and use smooth preview. When I bring the model into blender and clear hard edges I can extrude and apply a subsurf with no issue. However, bringing that same model back into… -
Maya - How to scale two edge loops equally?
Hi all, First time poster with limited skills/knowledge/experience - please be gentle :) I'm just running through an online video for some hard surface modelling techniques and have encountered a little issue when insert edge loops. On the "top" surface, I inserted two edge loops and then used the scale tool to push them… -
How do you preserve hard edges while smoothing in Maya?
I simply want to smooth a model while maintaining hard edges where I choose. I can jimmy rig this by adding extra edge loops near edges, but that tends to mess up my topology and doesn't achieve clean results. I like to model in low poly, then export a subdivided mesh to ZBrush where I add detail. But if the smoothing… -
[Maya 2017] Looking for an alternative to Shortest Edge Path Tool
The Shortest Edge Path Tool works great when you're selecting vertices and edges within the UV Editor. On the other hand, it has its shortcomings when used in the Perspective View. You are only able to select the shortest edge path that is within a single UV shell. Also, you can't select a vertex that is on a Texture… -
Hard surface edge baking - how to improve?
Hi all, I'm trying to create a pistol and I just finished the model in 3dsmax with its UVs. Next up i wanted to bake the edges of the model so that the hard edges are slightly polished. I'm baking EVERYTHING with a cage (no choice here since i'm baking 90° angles). Also every smoothing group is split to its own UV-island:… -
Maya 2018 - Cannot locate Soft/Harden edges tool
Hello! I am currently following a tutorial from a Patreon artist I follow. He is using a tool called Soft/Harden Edges which is under Mesh Display. I am using Maya 2018 and I can only see it as Soften Edge or Harden Edge. The Soften Edge tool seems to soften it too much more so than in the tutorial. I know there is a… -
Re: 3dsmax UV Editor Transfer Edge Selection to Edit Poly?
Its convoluted but here is what you need to do for hardening uv islands. Download Matts Turbo tools http://www.matthewlichy.com/turboTools.html Download Pier J's Edgesmooth http://edgesmooth.pjanssen.nl/ Install both. Under Customize User Interface in the UV tools, look for one called "Open Edge Select". Add that to one of…
