Re: FistOfVegetables' lowpoly WIP thread
Sorry it took so long to reply, got stuck at work... The rope is actually easier than it looks, and if it is done right it comes out great. The first thing I did was look at some references to find the type of knot and pattern I wanted to do. I set up splines in the pattern of the weave, leaving space between them since… -
Re: Modeling Help Needed Please
When modeling anything - just as with sculpting and drawing - always study the overall silhouette and break it down into primitive shapes. Ever wondered why every single 3D program has basic primitives? :) In this case it's a sphere. Then ask yourself: what's more suitable, a pole sphere or a quad sphere?. In this case… -
Re: Render to Texture problems
Make sure you're checking the actual file it saves not what is displayed in the render preview window. What is shown in the preview window is a "complete bake" and what the actual files look like. So check the file you specified in the "File Name and Type" field. The preview window is so annoying that some people turn it… -
Re: New curvature generation with accumulating new layers in Painter?
Use what? Sorry I am not sure I get it . I usually use curvature and world normals for mask generation . They are not represented in the layer stack usually. You mean I have to make a special "curvature" channel and use sbsars to modify it with each new layer ? -
Re: Some parts of FBX Object aren't Showing in Marmoset
Without triangulating, you leave it up to the different applications, meaning shape and shading and shading can differ between them. If the shading is different between baked to mesh and rendered mesh, the normal map wont match, leading to errors. So in short, I would triangulate (in Blender, triangulate modifier) and… -
Maya Component Selections Remain and other things.
This is just a question to make sure I'm not losing my mind. I noticed this in Maya2008, and it still happens in 2009, only worse. Sometimes I'll be working on a component of a model, and when I switch to another component or object mode, it stays selected. The only thing is that it isn't really selected, it just just… -
Tips & tricks for working with large scenes
Hey guys, So, I'm still plugging away on my Japanese temple scene, and I decided to completely remodel several parts of the scene, and right now I'm working on the steps. I tried exporting a base mesh from Max and sculpting the steps as one object in ZBrush, but it wasn't giving me the look I wanted - specifically, the… -
Re: Solid modeling vs NURBS
I found some interesting info, that Plasticity uses Parasolid, which internally keeps parametric primitives, making it much more precise for some miniscule engineering tasks. Also Parasolid gives the ability to alter forms arter some operations, such as booleans, fillets/chamfers. RHinon, also can save some parameters,… -
Remesh problem in blender
Hi, when trying to use Remesh in both sculpting and Modifier, holes are created in the model, why does this happen, how can it be fixed? thanks -
Re: 3d action game development
Tested out maya live link with unreal and it's pretty good to be able to preview animations in real time. But feedback is a bit choppy so its really only good for blocking in. Little details don't read at all. Not sure if it really speeds things up or not, but definitely nice to get some immediate feedback. Character…
