Re: Baking issues, before and after baking normal map
Hi! By now you probably put your plan into action. When you're generally happy with the shading achieved by the modifier, you could apply it as a starting point. Personally, I define sharp edges while checking the mesh shading, placing UV seams at the same time (unwrapping in Blender). I had another look at the model, so… -
Re: TurboSmooth Pro released
I've created an example image illustrating the issue with crease geo, I don't like the look the creased geometry gives, it looks janky like you have taken a low poly cube and smoothed the normals then moved some verts around. Technically I could up the sub d level of my creased cube 10plus times to create the example you… -
Re: WIP Stylised Fantasy Character
had to check for the project, switched machines in the meantime and didnt run it in ages. but regarding that rimlight. this is a 1 bit mask of the custom stencil buffer set to 12 (could be any number really, dont even ask why 12, dunno anymore :D ) here is the custom stencil mask applied per object (so it doesnt apply to… -
Re: Building modular interiors question!
Hi Jordank95. Wall dimensions question: The best way to determine the needs you are talking about is to lay these pieces out in your 3D engine. Make a 3x3m pieces and compare them to the 4x4 pieces and see what works better for your project. 4x4 might be easier if you don't want to do fractions. Also you might need less… -
Re: Shakiness in Maya Animation
Hi! Tbh I'm not sure how okidoki's example can help add noise to animation curves, I mean with some technical knowledge you could hack together some kind of node network that would grab a position of a point from a noise texture and use it to drive a position of a controller on an animation curve, but I shudder to think… -
Re: Skull and Bones - AAAA game
To me, AAA / AAAA is primarily a marker of budget and production scale, not a guarantee of quality or depth. Skull and Bones feels more like an example of how a long, complex production combined with live-service constraints can erode systemic depth, even when a significant amount of resources has been invested. -
Re: Noobie Mistakes
I think once I finish some new work I am gonna re make my entire site. I thought I had kept it simple but it is REALLY easy to over complicate fast. I studied many types of site since I created my current abomination and it seems to me that the best sites are simple and I mean REALLY simple. Take these as an example… -
Re: portfolio: s kritskiy
Regarding the navigation: What you have now is fairly functional but incredibly boring. For example, the text "Misc" doesn't interest me at all, yet it contains awesome art. Why not go with a layout that uses labeled images for categories, so I will already have an idea of what "misc" contains? I've also heard that the… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Welcome on the forum! Looking at the images, I would make sure those border UVs are straightened, since the bevel is very thight. Perhaps increase bevel width in highpoly, so there's more information to capture. Make sure to check at intended viewing distance, it might be that edge is generally too tight. I think this… -
Re: Stuck on a very basic modeling problem - resolving complex poles
@Alex_J thank you very much for your explanation. Your answer helped me identify the issue with the phong shading happening with Cinema 4D yesterday. I'm beginning to see the importance of using real-world examples to practice on. @frankpolygon thank you for the welcome to the forums! My apologies for having posted in the…
