Sub D doesn't matter. Animated sub D matters. Low poly doesn't matter. Animated low poly matters. If it smooths properly, who cares? Your example above shows three edges converging to one so normally you would merge the other two, but maybe there is a reason for the three. There is a guy here who does a low poly of his…
I know there is grab brush that saves depth as alpha and rgb separately but you have to do save two times instead of just once. It's extremely annoying and also when you try to record this save in a macro action it often does less than the whole document for some uncertain reason. My guess probably by exactly same frame…
I've searched google forever but can't find it, probably doesn't exist anymore... But I found this one that is pretty much what I wanted: worldinlive.com example 1 example 2 example 3 Been lurking on it for a while now and I find pretty much everything I could need.
Hello everyone! I cannot figure out the issue with polygon edges being seen on the low poly after baking. Here's the high poly and low poly models (Blender). These are the seams and sharp edges that I have now: Once the baking is done (Substance Painter) and a simple layer (just a color or a variation with roughness…
Hey there! I'm kinda new to SD (and to this cool forum!) and I'm trying to create color variation for a simple tile texture. the logic is that I want the user to pick how many color he want to have, and add weight sliders per every color. here is an example for hard coded one with some histogram select: The issue here is…
the eyes offset is most easily fixed by unbinding, removing the bind pose, and rebinding them. Since they 100% weight to a single joint this is an easy fix. if during the setup of the fit skeleton it complains about joints not being zeroed out this can also be the issue, if you ignored that. One time I had a similar issue…
Hi! It looks like you may have made your model in zbrush, and the model itself is pretty messy, which is not helping you out here Things like this draw attention away from your textures and give the impression that you didn't want to spend the time to clean up the model. Did you do any research or find any references to…
Some insightful info already discussed here and additionally as others mentioned lighting can make or break a scene regardless of an intended art direction so I'd also suggest looking into photography techniques, for example 'Rembrandt Lighting' although the master himself was particularly influenced by the works of…
[ QUOTE ] Welcome to Splitsville [/ QUOTE ] Thanks Eric, very informative. That leads me to another question. Is Eld's 3rd example worth using over his first example. Doing it this way means there are shading groups, discontinuous UV's and the normal map. Where as the first example is no shading groups, far less…
