Re: how to unwrap uv's for lightmaping purposes?
interesting tip Shepeiro do you think splitting my uvs on my pillar in this scene: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=71419&page=3&highlight=syndicate will fix the wierd shadowing( at the moment it looks like the shadows are trying to make the square pillar rounded/smooth) or is this a smoothing groups issue… -
Re: LPC vol2 #2 - action film - heros & baddies
I would say you want your mesh to smooth as best as possible(smooth groups and whatnot). Normal maps not important/necessary, I think. Using the Gimli created for this challenge - the Self Illumination is set 60%, so lighting doesn't affect it much - which doesn't confuse the light sourcing as painted in. Hope this makes… -
Re: Turrican 3D Model
Yes, you're right - I should keep on improving :-) This model was my first Character with skeleton I just started with Maya about 3-4 Months ago. I was smoothing a little around the arms, thats right. I found the environment-map there was very ugly before; Maybe its better to apply smoothing by hand ... -

Re: Any advice on while the current scene is so slow after Unfolding UVs?
I checked the file. I'm assuming you're only talking about the head mesh. You might have accidentally pressed "3" which made the object go to smooth mesh preview. There's even a warning that says "may take a while to smooth or run out of memory." I turned it off, and then the lag disappeared. -
Re: polyToSubdiv Failed
1. if you just need more geo you don´t need to convert to subD and back. just smooth your mesh. also the "feature displ." settings are taken into account. Smoothing a mesh adds geometry to the actual mesh, whereas converting it to subD rather adds geometry to a duplicate mesh; keep it separate. -
Re: RossC - Dota Workshop
Smoothing groups exist in the Source engine, but they're supposed to be used sparingly, as the way it's implemented is that each smoothing group is essentially a separate mesh, resulting in inflated vert counts if groups are used willy-nilly. What 3D package are you using? I'm able to export groups using the Source Engine… -
Re: Post your workspace 2015
I am getting a friend of mine to fashion a mousemat out of metal for me. I am just using a book for a smooth surface atm :P The edge of the desk I put a bit of a bevel in when I was sanding it, and the surface is actually quite smooth too. I can't see it causing any discomfort. -
Re: Something Different from the Normal Routine
Nice one, mate. Whats your secret for getting things so very smooth and sharp? Particularly smooth. I've been playing with some sculpey myself and was kinda proud of my progress until I saw this. I'll try and replace my digital camera so I can post some photos. -
Re: Help me build a p51!
Proportions look a bit wonky, too. Especially the rudder and elevator fins. What I would recommend is to start over, and block out the shape with simple geometric shapes, turbo-smoothed, just sticking into each other, but with smooth surfaces, and correct placement. Then go working on top of that, re-topologizing and…
