First some info: -I made a model that the statistics say is 950 polys -When I go into Polygon selection mode and select all, there are 950 faces/polys Here's My problem: -When I export to SMD via Wallworm,… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
I didn't know this actually. :) How is it enabled in xNormal? Ahh right, I see what you mean. I have always viewed these a totally separate ray casting methods, so I can see what you are getting at now. Blender uses Distance and Bias settings with numerical input in which you set the maximum distance from the active object… -
Re: Blender Weighted Normals
Arby based on your screen you have "smooth by angle" modifier that makes beveled edges sharp. Then you use face weighting that keeps those sharp edges . So you need either set the smooth angle bigger and set few sharp edges manually if necessary or uncheck "keep sharp" in Face weighting and keep every edge beveled -
Re: Let's talk TV's. The bigger the better. Just like penistanks.
2, 46ich £100, rear-views and a 56ich, £800 rear-view. Occasionally i set them up for multi-monitor mayhem and the picture quality is pretty decent. Not as a good as a plasma or Led/Lcd but it does the job brilliantly running on Hdmi's. Just saying if your looking for a lower budget tv and then invest in something else,… -

Re: Hiding / getting rid of UV seams
-Pad your UVs. -Doing all your texturing using a system like polypaint is hugely advantageous; if the last step in your pipeline is to bake, the baker (as long as the model is set up properly for this) will do a good as possible job of the seams. -Put them in rarely seen, low detail areas when possible so the seam is even… -
Re: Why hasn't this been mentioned yet? Blender 2.43
I've been using the latest version for about a week. It kicks ass! The UV unwrapping is better than ever. (a very important feature for in-game modeling) The new sculpting tool is surprisingly robust. It probably won't win over any regular users of ZBrush or Mudbox, but its fantastic for anyone who already uses Blender.… -
Re: Getting a job at a Qand A position, as a 3d Artist
That route doesn't always work, but it did for me...sorta. I didn't move up through QA, but did QA right out of college and made friends with some artists. I was eventually let go as part of a layoff, but I kept in contact...a few years later, they were looking to bring on an additional artist and I got fast tracked in… -
