Re: [Blender] Why won't subdividing smooth my mesh?
Short version of the question. What is the subdivide modifier quality parameter actually DOING? Long version of the question. If I want an edge crease in my model, why do I have to fudge with both the crease tool AND the quality tool to get the results I want? I don't know how much experience you have in Maya, but if you… -
Re: Normal map Bake artifacts? (Warning 9 Screenshots)
Cheers! I didn't make the model or diffuse/spec textures though. Its from an Eat3d tutorial and I used it because I had it to hand and it's a reasonably complicated model to bake. :) Yea, xNormal is an awesome application and produces really high quality bakes, though it can take a while to get used to the interface and… -
Re: xnormal 4.0 features
Decided to tackle tessellation and began research lately... Seems very little in so far as, an artist centric pipeline and techniques. As any new tech develops surely there should be equal input from a large artist community. ( if any "involved" pipeline discussion already exists i'd sure appreciate a point in that… -
Re: CryEngine Portfolio level + custom assets: Lab X2
Hey everyone! Today's update is a little long-winded, as it's been a while. I don't have any completely finished things to show, but there has been a lot of work across the board. I would have gotten more done by now, but last Friday I got engaged, and the planning for that had been taking up a lot of time. :) First up, a… -
Re: UV Mapping Help! Wings 3-D
You need to cut your object up to uv map as has already been said. It uses hard edges to do that, but as well as that, you can mark edges. In the resegment Uvmap(mid mouse button), in the new window that opens with the object, you select edges then right click and "mark edges for cut", to undo "unmark edges" the ones… -
Re: [WIP] Stylized bow sculpture help
You might need to drop resolution and work on getting the shapes in a lower rez before going higher. Some tools you might want to check out; Pinch brush Deformation > Polish, or Polish Edges Make sure to use Lazy Mouse a lot so you can get really nice curves that don't wobble a lot. Might also want to look into making… -
Re: Zbrush armor piece problem
Add the creases or support loops any apply subdivision intead of zremesher and stuff. Subdivision works like this: imagine a rectangle of any proportion. Now imagine that you split it into 4 quarters. Subdivision done. What comes from this is that if you have some tight edge loops around the areas that you want to keep… -
Re: QuadRemesher : new auto-retopo plugin for Maya, 3DSMax, ...
Thanks a lot Bibiboo. My goal is to understand why the remeshing is not working well on the edge with creased normals (red arrow area) It should create an edge loop in the remeshing on these edges. So that the remeshing would not look smoothed on those edges... For this I would need the input file in a ".max" file (not… -
Re: My Journey To Be a 3D Artist !
Your hi-polies looks cool, but can't say the same for the lows. If you're intending to bake your hi-poly models, then you should make the edges bolder. I see all of your hi-poly models have too sharp edges that wouldn't translate well into lowpoly. I think you can give the eotech another chance, with some higher poly… -
Re: Normal maps on round corners?
Right, that is the drawback with using hard edges, which necessitate splitting your uv islands apart. There is no way around it. I set up my uvs and hard edges sort of all at once. I set up my uv so I can use a quick script to convert uv borders to hard edges. If you think about both of these tasks at the same time, you…
