Re: Pirate Pistol - wip
Lookin better on the hard edges for sure man. The trigger looks better and I can see you have combed over it a bit. Nicely done :) Couple other things- I actually prefer the original handle more than the new one, heh. What I mean is, I think you toned it down too much. The shape and flow of the original is more… -
Re: Is this quality good enough? Please help URGENT!
If you have a smoothing group split/hard edge, you also need to break your uvs along that edge. Otherwise you get seams when you bake Common advice is also, if you have angles 90 or great, you should have a hard edge there. Though it is a lot more complex than that, for UDK, it isn't a bad rule to follow. I try not to… -
Re: Spiritual dity. Would really appreciate C&C
Hi siris, The concept for this is looking very cool :) What are you looking to achieve with this; will it be a final illustration or is it purely to convey the concept for another purpose? That being said, I think it'd be good to have a deliberate light sources on this whereas it currently looks as though the light source… -
Re: The Maya Cylinder Normal Map Problem
Bevel the edge, or in some cases if you increase the number of sides it will fix the problem. Increasing the amount of sides can be ideal, because a 24 sided cylinder is the same data as a 12 side cylinder with 2 beveled edges. The reason increasing the sides works, is that there is less difference between the surface of… -
Re: Is turbosmooth needed?
Frell: Clearly something is going wrong for you, because 'little black edges' should not be a problem. When someone talks about black edges in a topic about normalmaps, all I can suggest is to read up on baking normalmaps with smoothing groups. Black edges occur when you have a break in your vertex normals but not your uvs… -
modeling TV
What approach do you recommend for modeling this while including all the vents? I'm currently using booleans, but I'm curious about how you would avoid having too many edges around the model just for the vents. Are there any helpful tutorials out there? -

Hi all i have a small issue .im a beginner and im trying to understand the normal map baking and my first issue that i have is that my edges after baking smooth edges model to a hard edges model.. that my result after i bake the high to the low poly , and i checked the UVs and i think they seem fine i also saw in a forum… -
Modeling - time optimizer script for Maya
Hi guys , here my first "complex" script for maya. It's projected to semplify 3D modeler's life with some shortcut like: -select edgeloops alternating -turn on and off geometry's hard edges -select geometry's soft/hard edges -convert geometry's edges to soft/hard edges -cut UV I've drawn the UI using QtDesigner and write… -
Max to Maya: Is there a tool similar to the tool in Max called Polydraw Optimize in Maya?
I'm starting to learn Maya after 5 years of Max and I'm really missing my Polydraw Optimize tool that I had out of the box in Max. Polydraw Optimize once selected could essentially collapse any edge you clicked on and if you pressed shift it would remove full edge loops. Is there something like this in maya or a plugin…
