Maya to Max | Hard/Soft Edges - Smoothing Groups Problem
Hi everybody! I'm currently a bit stuck, but for the past 2 days, I've been trying to move a model from Maya 2018 using Hard/Soft Edges to control the hardness of edges. Problem is when I export the model (with Game Exporter) to FBX I have had this shading problem. From my understanding, Max doesn't use Maya's hard/soft… -

iPhone Photogrammetry tips for hard surface items?
I've been experimenting with Photogrammetry with my iPhone 12 and my biggest focus has been hard surface items. I have a two point light setup, and I suspend the item using fishing line. Unfortunately, there is always a lot of noise and I can barely use the fine grained details OR capture the hard lines of hard surface. -
Re: Hard edges on UV seams for character models?
For a mesh like this, where all the shapes are generally soft and there is enough geometry to represent the harsher angles, there isn't much benefit to setting uv borders as hard edged. There may be some drawbacks to doing it, especially if you need to make LODs. Generally with organic shapes, you'll get more issues with… -
Hard Surface Process for ZBrush
Hey all, I saw someone asking about hard surface in ZBrush and decided it's about time I posted something.

Re: So what is the final thought?

As for bots churning out shite ad infinitum mostly prompted by… -
Tips for baking bevel onto hard edges?
Hi, I am working on a project where we are limited by polycount budget (because it's a Sims like builder game, we need to be conservative with polycount and texture). And one thing I am doing, is to use hard edge on models to maintain silhouette, and use a higher poly model to bake smaller bevels onto normal maps. For… -
Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros
Really didn't get a lot done this week, but this is why I do these weekly updates; to look back and know that I've slacked hard. However in other news, my Titan is dishing out a whopping 2,255 damage per strike with Vexcalibur and Wormgod's Embrace in PvE, and every time I land a melee final blow I get 100% void…
