Re: Zbrush fixing meshflow?
From a logic point of view it has to 'ruin' the mesh as you are explicitly cutting through quads in any arbitrary way. You have to automatically or manually fix the topology. Though I haven't found a fast and clean automatic solution yet. So if anyone has a tip I'm interested in this too. E.g. remesh only the edges -
Re: KV-1 WW2 Soviet heavy tank critique
Good stuff! A bit low poly for current gen games. Some intersecting geometry here and there. About textures, there are some edges that shouldnt be edges meaning they get that edge wear from the smart material and in reality you wouldnt have edge wear for example on the curved protection thing at the base of the cannon. I… -
Re: Hard-surface smoothing - Help needed
If you want them to be the same distance from the border edge, turn on edge snapping, select both loops, and with the scale tool (set to center) you drag them out until they touch the outer edges, then bring them back in. Be aware that this is kind of fiddly, and this is better suited to alternatives such as using quad… -
Re: Baking normal map problems
ok so ive hit another issue with the baking. the edges are creating this black line around the hard edges. i understand why this happens because of the normal ray projecting perpendicular to the 90 degree face. i tried it with different smoothing groups, chamfered edges to add a 45 degree angle ray and i dont want to break… -
Re: Bramble Mk 2
I agree with softening the edges here and there. It looks a bit too stiff with it all being very tight-edged. And jostle some of the pieces around a little - make it look like they don't fit with such exacting precision. It's what'll give him character rather than looking like he just came off a sterile production line. I… -
Re: How to join mirror borders in Maya?
Extrude one half of the model and snap the verts that are in the mid to the center. When completed mirror, merge verts and border/edges. It should to be in the mesh menu. Before deleting the history under the transformation panel to the right, click mirror, and set the threshold to 0.001 or 0.01 and delete history. For the… -
Re: Weird Normal Map result
Thank you both for your replies, Scruples is right about 90 degrees but must be a precisely this angle(like trying to bake a extrusion with no subdivision) but using holding edges or bevels usually is not 90 degrees anymore) and maybe as SomeDoggy said my edges are too sharp. I used to apply holding edges manually on MAYA… -
Re: Noob question: Quads or Tris?
Whatever works to get the job done for whatever you're doing. Games work in tris but quads are easier to work with, selecting rings and loops, converting that to poly selection all fast ways to work but it doesn't work with mostly tris. If you're using 3dsmax its easier to control hidden edges then it is in Maya. But in… -
Re: Stylized textures practice
Did a paintover of one of your textures I only had 30 minutes to spend on this so I rushed it but I think the important elements are there. With more time it just would have had tighter details. Main lessons here: 1: When it comes to stone I try not to make my edges perfectly straight 2: I never distribute my highlights… -
Re: Low poly hand painted sword
I think you need to push the use of colour in this piece, lets take a look at a similar style weapon from the masters... blizzard.. As you can see, like your sword, this has subtle glowing parts and an ornamental blade. There are two light sources, the sky (white) and the colour of the glow effect (purple)which effects the…
