Re: Cloak skin weight fails
Your material seems to be rendering both sides of the inner surface. How did you enable blackface culling? You can't just do it on view settings. There should be an option in the surface material for "2-sided" which should be disabled. If your material doesn't have this, you need to look for one that does, or else make… -
Re: Huge terrain texturing
@Vassago that's nice little trick You've got there :) @Vig that's exactly what i've done. correct me if i'm wrong but this way makes the borders of a road go either over the terrain or below it, as only the base spline is tangent to the surface. Vassago's way deals with that as it creates a quatstrip that has vertices… -
Re: Use Vertex Normals For Better LODs!
In 3ds max I just turbosmooth by smoothing groups so my original mesh keeps the low poly shape and then bake it. So a blat surface with originalky 4 verts will get subdivided alot, get baked, and then by removing the turbosmooth you get the same low poly surface with very good baking! It is very easy but requires some… -
Re: Need Help With UV's & Texture Resolution
The high poly smoothing groups are irrelevant as the surface smoothness is being driven by sub-division. The only thing you ever have to worry about with your low-poly is that it looks good on the screen. The surface normals of the high poly are being baked directly to the low-poly so if it looks clean and you set up the… -
Re: google maps has more detail?
To create depth maps, scientists measure the difference in average depth on the surface water with satellites (average to correct for waves), and can actually reconstruct the size of sea mounts due to their gravitational pull. The sea mounts are so large, that they pull the water around them and create a subtle bulge in… -
Re: Studding Anatomy
So, is there any good thing i can do to be good modeler when isn´t anatomy evolve? Like hard surface modeling, cars, robots, etc or even environments? Actually i want to tell you guys that i am not sure what i want to be. My interest is between Modeler( hard surface) Animator or visual effects. -
Re: space miner
duncan: always need the duct tape maen :P ranek: thank you :) anyways, heres a really lame update... did the boring part of proper basemeshing and hard surface bits... so its a lightly cleaner mess now, and very boring. doo list: pouchies, duct tape, elec wires going places, drinking tube, surface deets, legs -
Re: Developing Skill
Thanks for ignoring my LINK TO THE VERY HELPFUL POLYCOUNT WIKI and telling me to go listen to "jump" you butt. Go pick up a trial version of Maya or Max for your hard surface modeling. At some point you're going to want to texture these hard-surface props and Zbrush's UVmaster isn't really efficient enough with the UV… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - SteVAI
Reply by SteVAI · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Environment ArtHello everyone! The temperature of 38.3, a headache, but it will not be an obstacle. Over the last week, I made model of horse. Added armor and delicious details in hard surface style, like a stone surface. There are many small details on this model. I hope you enjoy it, I try to refine my turret and make it in hight… -
Re: ZBrush SSS
Eh......funnily enough you would use the translucent material in KS. A quick search of the KS docs would tell you that. Translucency This controls how deep light penetrates into and through the surface. The higher your translucency value, the more of the subsurface color you will see coming through the surface. Higher…
