Do hard edges split geometry or just the vertex normals?
The reason I'm asking is that lately I've been trying to get a little more back into Blender for my game art. Now either I don't know how hardening lowPoly edges is called in Blender or it still does not have proper support for it. Well, at least not if I understood the whole thing wrong until now. Blender lets the user… -
Random edges disappearing in Maya 2013
Hi, So I began to do some housecleaning on my mesh since I realized it has too many polys and needs to be simplified. I saved a new copy of my mesh to be turned into a low poly shadow of its former self... But I'm running into problems. I'm selecting unneeded edgeloops and getting rid of them with the Delete Edge/Vertex… -
Unwrapping a Hard Edged object
I'm very new to modelling and have started a project to build some assets for a game. My first set are some gravestones for a cemetery. I'm aiming to keep the models pretty low poly as they are not main components and will not be visited up close. I've created a low poly cross model and a high poly one with chamfered and… -
Re: Maya Soft/Hard Edges and Creasing
select all edges and then open tool to do all edges together? Then remove curved edges edge weight. that's how i do it usually. now how to preserve creased edges between maya and blender ;P -
Edge Padding
Hi, I was trying to learn more about the efficient UV techniques for game models. And that is how I came to know about the importance of edge padding from some earlier posts here. Unfortunately I have already prepared a few game props like furniture, crates and barrels etc. without edge padding. Now I have to recreate… -
Insubordinate edges in Max 8
This has been bothering me for quite a while now. Every now and then I get edges that come completely detached from one of their verts and either shoot for another vert or the world origin. This has a habit of corrupting the entire scene. But when I try to remove the edge, Max will probably crash. If I try to delete the… -
Obvious edges in a model
Hey, I'm having some trouble with a model I'm doing for someone. I'm not new to Maya, but I'm still not quite experienced enough to solve a few problems. With my model, there are edges visible. When I import it into UDK, they are even worse and cause some really ugly shadows. Usually, if something like this happens in… -
Re: Edges - when to normal map them?
Blender doesn't have cages, actually, so Xnormal still wins out. edit: Also, since EQ glanced over it: 90 degrees angles are not hard by definition. A hard edge is where the normals are split to achieve a break in shading. Blender currently also doesn't do this, you need to physically split the edge to do so. The need for… -
Re: Two quick questions, Hard Edge ZBrush sculpting and Brushed Metal texture
Hey there man, I think the best thing to do for edges before you take them into ZBrush is use the Crease Edge tool. I'm speaking for Maya, however, I would imagine there is something similar to that for Max XSI etc. Using the crease edge tool, just grab all the edges that you want to be sharper during the smoothing process… -
Crisp rock edge highlights using Zbrush polypaint?
Hi everyone, I've been working on polypainting some rocks for a tileable wall texture. What I'm trying to achieve is those nice crisp highlights you see on some Zbrush derived textures, for example: Credit: Marie http://pixel-butterfly.blogspot.com/ What I'm wondering is, do you get a very small brush in RGB mode and…
