Degenerates are not really a single problem, but a class of problems. A polygon can degenerate when it distorts or twists on itself. For example, imagine a quad twisting so much that it looks like a bow tie. You'll simultaneously have the front face and back face visible, which is wrong. That could be considered a…
Hi! I'd note the couple of seams currently on the head would show up when using detail maps (unless masked). And I think generally straightening UV borders (where it makes sense) will decrease the likelihood of aliasing artifacts showing. As an example, here's UVs from an old Metahuman head I had lying around: Borders are…

"so it basically does what regular IFWN scripts do as well (first example, the box with dimples)" result is the same, but it is doing it in a completely different way. IFWN always takes mesh as a whole, calculates normals direction based on angle and face size and if face is bigger, it receives whole normal information.…
Hey guys! long time no see! During the quarantine I decided to get out of my confort zone and try doing some NPR, but keeping its usage closer to PBR and metal/roughness workflow. Using oren nayar diffuse model and GGX specular model. This is where I got to! This is a shaderFX shader (for it to work, maya must be on opengl…
Hi there! I'm new at scripting, so pls don't lynch me. I read a whole bunch of threads, and didn't find what I looked for. I'm trying to write a script that converts the component pivot to the object pivot. In other words, it translates and rotates the object pivot to fit the current component pivot. Getting the…
We are looking for a 3D
Artist for models and textures (environment / props / items) . The assets are intended
for a VR project and should hence be mid- to low-poly. The style
should be similar to League of Legends or Heroes of the Storm. Beside
those, here is another example in a similar style:…
Hey everyone, I work at a Private High School doing mainly IT work, however the leadership found that I do a lot of 3D in my spare time and asked if I would present a 3 day basic into into 3D development (for games). I accepted and I will be using Blender. Since these kids are 14-18, and 3 days (ie, 3 class periods of 50…
