Horse Movement Cycles [Blockout]
Would you say these animations are ready enough to turn on smooth tangents and begin polish, or do they still need some more work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnJs5ej4LKM Also is it common practice to use stepped tangents and blockout on walk cycles or do you normally just go in with default smooth tangents? -
Problem with glass/opacity in Substance
So I have a car with a glass, in maya all edges are smoothed, but in painter (render) they aren't: Also, everything behind glass is hard-edge too, for some reason, while in maya it has correct smoothing groups. The second problem is that part of the mesh behind glass is just disappearing for no reason: Help, please -
Need help Rigging > Skin deforming errors.
Hi, I'm not sure how to resolve this error. Can anyone explain to me what's happening here? When I move the right shoulder, the left side moves at the same time... I am editing smooth skins property in the component editor selecting vertices and changing smooth skin values... -
Re: Mesh goes black when I rotate it in 3DS...
It's not to do with triangulation in a strict sense. I think this issue is that sometimes the vertex normals are locked and aligned to some worldspace transform or otherwise just broken in some way. when you wrote you can't even assign smoothing groups to the affected areas is a clear indicator the normals are locked and… -
Re: Problem with exporting normals from Zbrush
Of course ZB has normals. A vertex/face can't exist without normals. What Zbrush doesn't have is smooth shading - well it actually has a hack to force a quasi-smooth shading mode - at least not in the sense that tradtional DCC has. -
Re: Proper Topology For This Shape
You can be be a lot more loose with the topology of a high poly. Either of those are fine to use. As long as it smooths correctly then the topology works!The n-gons and triangles are on a flat plane so it wont give you any funky smoothing errors! -
Re: Bake every asset?
If you CAN, my opinion is you should. Meshes benefit from normal maps in ways other than edges and details. Especially if anything on the mesh isn't flat. That high poly smoothing always looks better than vertex smoothing... -
Re: Xamn you xNormal...! Baking problems, would love some help
Baking in xNormal, importing to UDK. Strangely enough, I got it looking correct by going back to the low-poly mesh, unsmoothing everything that was smoothed... and smoothing everything that was unsmoothed. Looks pretty much just the way I wanted it to originally. :poly105: -
Mudbox: Vertex spike artifact
I'm experiencing an issue where a vertex in my model is spiking out from the mesh. When I turn off the sculpt layers and smooth the vertex on the base mesh it will go away, but when I turn the sculpt layers back on it reappears. If I try and smooth the vertex in a sculpt layer Mudbox crashes. Anyone know a workaround? -
Re: Normal ( bake ? )
Gradients on normal maps are perfectly normal behavior like gnoop said. It's from the normal map having to compensate for the shading/normals/smoothing on the low poly model. Are you sure Substance Painter is importing the smoothing on the low poly model?
