Substance Designer mesh input experiments
Hello everyone! I've been very inspired by Dannie Carlone and his zbrush+designer workflow (him and others!) that totally shows the strength of baked geometry, and that brought me back to the first thing I ever wished I had in SD: a mesh node !… -
UT2004:Weapon Modelers/Animators Project Goldeneye
Project Goldeneye Team are looking to expand their modeling department with some fresh blood . we are lookign for 2X Weapon Modelers. If your interested you need to have 3D Studio Max (version 5 or above preferred) and ActorX knowlege(preferred but not required) You would be creating the first person weapon models for the… -
Re: What modern texture software can paint/project across multiple materials ( not UDIMs) ?
An example is repeating tilable road 2kx2k material set with narrow 64x2k painted lines and 512x4k road edges and a second layer of alternating dirt road 1kx4k. But when it came to crossroad or branching it's unique cut also non-square mostly that needs to blend into tilable materials well . All this having 512x2k tillable… -
Re: Confused about topology for defined Muscles
We have some good examples on our wiki. Drill down here into the sub-pages like LimbTopology and ShoulderTopology http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Topology For example: -
Re: 3d action game development
redesigned the gorgon but because she is important boss i won't show her model until game is published. But, figuring out how to animate the snake locomotion cycle took more hours than rebuilding the model from scratch and making the rig. There are a few examples online, but few are joint based. The only viable joint based… -
Re: Trying to bake very seemingly simple Normals in SP2, weird notches and lines on edges appearing??
As Till mentioned: there's other factors that are causing problems with the last two cubes in the example image. These could be mismatched tangent spaces, flipped triangulation, strong horizon occlusion or some combination of issues. The first two cubes in the example image are sufficient to illustrate the point. The last… -
Re: How can I make powerlines?
I would suggest NOT using an alpha blended surface for these. The texture is going to be filtered with distance, and the lower MIPS will be very blurry. It's generally better to just use pure opaque geometry. Include enough cross-sections to reduce long thin triangles, which can cause performance issues with some GPUs.… -
Re: Panzer model-Feedback needed!!!!!!!
I do not understand what I am looking at here. Did you model that color render of that Panzer model? Or are you simply using it for reference. It is so completely different to your low poly. And that model itself is loaded to inaccuracies and you SHOULD NOT be using that for reference. Until you answer this I am only going… -
Re: [Portfolio] JackyBoy, Environment Artist
Hm it's a good site and there's some very nice content but there isn't much either. The warehouse is a good example of environment artist but lighting lets it down and makes it average. The car is really awesome though. Basically my main crits are: Lack of content, need more environments than just single props like the… -
Re: What Does a Good UV Map Look Like?
I'm very curious about best UV practises. I wish there was a thread here for general UV tips like the giant topology thread and normal baking thread. Often I wonder if I'm unwrapping things inefficiently when I end up splitting things to minimize stretching but raising the vertex count in-engine. It seems like a balance…
