Re: Normal Mapping Issues
A few things. First, try to think of normals baking as two seperate processes. Projections, and shading behavior. It's a lot easier to see what your projections are doing with an object space bake so first bake an object space map. Load that into the model in a 3d program with no shading/lighting. The object space map… -
SciFi City
Been working on some Buildings, first for a space station and then I figured they could just double as city blocks for some renders, they're more fun than the space station itself atm. Been using modo's ray GL to place emissive lights something that usually would have been a pain to get done. Still lots left to do, doing a… -
Re: UV Transfer, Different Topology
If by size you mean some points are more pushed in/out than they are on the highpoly, that's unavoidable when lowering your geometry count, but the bigger the discrepancy the worse the results will be (see the sticky thread on "Who put waviness in my normal maps?"). However, if you mean by "size" that the model is somehow… -

Re: SciFi Support Beam
Just to confirm my suspicions; this render with the normal map is wrong. My hardware is too old to render normal maps am i right? In the left image, there is an estranged highlight on the edge of this dint. What i think is happening here is that its being rendered as a bump map (like each RGB channel is displayed as the 3… -

Hello. I hail from the land of SPUF. I humbly request someone to model a simple hat in TF2 for the beloved Pyro. I sort of had a mask-type hat similar to Man Ray from Spongebob in mind.

Questions from someone coming from 3D for advertising...
Hi! A friend in the gaming industry told me about Polycount recently and told me its a great place to learn and ask questions regarding 3D for games. I've dabbled very lightly in 3D for about 8 years but only started taking it seriously about a year or two ago. I use Maya and have been learning as much as I can. Im… -
Re: Just saying Hello
Watch it skankerzero. Some of us were born in Houston. Thems be fightin' words. When it comes to Flash these days, it's all about the programming. Don't try to get contract work doing traditional IDE-based Flash work. Most companies seriously undervalue that kind of work, and you will end up doing way too much work for way…
