Re: Sketchbook: Tim Smith
Haven't posted for a while, but I've been doing clothing exercises through the mentorship I'm doing. I'm still finishing up the highpoly models I've manually sculpted, but I've also been practising in Marvelous Designer. -

Re: The low poly is baked into the texture
Hi! Assuming that first screenshot is a height map, I would expect it looking like that, as it captures the the difference between lowpoly and highpoly mesh. The distance to the highpoly will be larger at the center of a face, hence the facetted/ lowpoly appearance. Applying the height map, you would then need to choose… -

Re: Arm and Wrist Pain - how did you dealt with them?
I'm highly susceptible to RSI, so I've dealt with that a lot as well. Keyboards and mice are extremely un-ergonomic. The main thing is getting a tablet. Not a display tablet, but one you can lay flat on the desk.It also helps to get a device to replace the keyboard while working, but that's pretty difficult with Blender… -
Re: [Zbrush] Need workflow advice
zipper4: Because we agree that the Highpoly doesn't have any UV and is decimated from Zbrush actually. Nope, Look at 'how to bake in substance' tutorials. You don't open the hipoly (in substance painter) just specify its location in the bake dialog. Also you can decimate the hipoly if you want but you can export a full rez… -
Re: Does having five edges meet here work for this product? What’s a better alternative?
I'd highly recommend that you read those linked resources I had posted then likewise test iterations of your particular object, therefore putting into practice the 'How and Why' behind the fundamental reasoning described by @FrankPolygon Now for the highlighted areas above, they're intersecting control or support loops and… -
Re: MAZDA RX8 _LO poly
personally i would say build the high poly car, then retopo on top of it. NOT bake, race games dont use normal maps on the body , just polygons. but the only way to get proper edge flow and nice shape, unless youre the michelangelo of modellers (not specifically about you, about everybody) is to retopo on the highpoly. i… -
Re: Texturing pipeline question
jstyles3d is right. Your lowpoly should have uvs. Paint the highpoly in zbrush and export the mesh with colorized active (under polypaint) then point xnormal to your high poly and lowpoly and bake any maps you want. I use max to retopo my characters so I have a decimated version of the highpoly in max. I build my lowpoly…
