Re: Spartan Warrior
Your model is super smooth and bland and you berate the great organic modeling of Kolby by saying its just lumpy when its actually good organic modeling. And then you make the helmet something that should be hard solid smooth metal. Look as if it was molded from putty. All lumpy and crazy -
Re: Unable to See/Manipulate Weights - Maya
What are your current smooth bind options set to? I'm guessing there might be something there that's causing you all this grief. edit : make sure that the "remove unused influences" checkbox is un-ticked in the smooth bind options. This might well be what is stopping you from assigning weights to certain joints. -
Stylized tree workflow from blender
So I've been looking around at a ton of articles and threads involving this, and after grabbing info and methods I'm still struggling to get a decent result on my leaf cards.

Re: Marmoset toolbag - norm map shows on wrong Mat/object
I added a 32 pixels texture with the base color of normal maps and it fixed that. I'm getting another problem now. It looks like there's no smoothing groups on the hair piece only.

Re: Car modeling questions
Taking a look at game assets is almost always educational. Look into the GTA4 mod scene for tools to help you out there. Yes, you can use smooth preview to get a high poly for normals, you'll need to do Convert>Smooth Mesh Preview to Polygons first. Good practice to create a duplicate first. -
Re: (help) Nasty edgeflow/inset angles
Also as a result of keeping the serif detail the edgeflow vertically for the right side of the "K" gets pretty bad when extruding and insetting a few times. My "A" handled things fine but I'm guessing due to the less detailed serifs? I cleared all the smoothing groups and then did an Auto-Smooth. Pertty gross compared to… -
Re: anatomy studies!
Keep in mind. Even boxers are not hugely buff like this guy. He looks more like a body builder to me. Also smoothing your muscle transition from one to another. They are quite sharp and sudden.

Re: Maya - Triangle Topology
Like gray said, it depends on what you're trying to do, but if you're just trying to get a triangular prism to subdivide you might try something like this: Left mesh: base mesh with supporting edge loops Center mesh: base mesh with smooth preview Right mesh: smoothed mesh with 2 divisions
