Re: Robot concept
I really like how this is turning out actually. The new update looks much better in my opinion. though, i see a few areas of improvement. again with 5 sided faces, which in this case, you can fix without adding tris. Some people will tell you to focus on the poly count first, learn that, then learn about clean models, but… -

When to normal map and when not to normal map
Hey Polycounters. Learning to be an environment artist and I'm struggling with something. When to bake and when not to bake. Example: Let's say I'm creating a modular building to be used across my level. Am I making a high poly version of this building and baking it down so I get nice edges on all my 90 degree edges, or is… -
Re: Issue with Bakes and UVs Need some help!
Try beveling the edges where you have the casting errors on the top left of your image. Even where there are no errors a sharp 90 deg bend is an ugly thing. -
Re: Warhammer 40K Storm Raven Fanart
First texture version. Still all procedural in substance, will do a manual pass next to get rid of the uniform feel of the edges and rust. -
Re: Normal map seams everywhere except maya?
Well, maybe, but I'd be very curious to see any case where such a convoluted post-process (involving somehow fetching the normals information from the "other side" of an edge, converting back to the proper tangent space of the initial side, and feeding that into the padding of an island edge) would have any impact. All… -
Re: 3D Sketchbook
Not a bad start! On the head of the hammer, try doing some edge work. If you make the edges a bit lighter, it will read as worn off edges, or light hitting the edges, or a combination of both. -
Re: bow rig help 3ds max
Go into edge mode, select the edges, hold ctrl and click Remove. This will remove the edges and the verts. If you don't hold ctrl, it will remove the edges but leave the verts. -
Re: Critique needed on this Crown VIC
There's no right or wrong way subd modeling something that is mostly hard surface however a few points I think worth keeping in mind picked up over time creating this and other similarly aligned objects. - Try to keep manual editing at a minimum (either moving vertices, edges or faces by hand) - Maintain uniform edge… -
Re: Modeling Solaire from Dark Souls, need assistance
Hey, I'm having trouble understanding which edges are not as smooth as you would want them to be? I see that there are some edges on the helmet that could benefit from being smoother but am unsure if they are indeed the issue. But in general, if you want to smooth the helmet, make sure that edge loops are spaced more…
