Re: Diablo 3 Barbarian WIP
I think a clean model requires a couple of things. I'm definitely not an authority on this stuff, but here are things I keep in mind: The mesh should be pretty evenly distributed. Of course you want more divisions where there is detail/deformation and less where there is not, but generally speaking long triangles/quads… -
Creating Cages in Max
Hi, I'm working on a small enviroment at the moment (www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149615). For this I want to use substance painter and also nDo. For this I want to use cages for the baking. At the moment I use the push or shell modifier in Max (shell: straighten corners, select outer faces, convert to poly,… -
Re: Importing a sphere. Why so hard?
The most efficient way to unwrap a quad sphere is in two UV shells like a baseball. It's not just about reducing seams but also about reducing the amount of the lightmap that is empty. This is because the empty space is filled with black. The mipmapping and trilinear filtering on the lightmap make sure that there's always… -
Re: UDK LIght mapping issues
I would also suggest minimizing the amount of UV islands. connect as much of them as you can. Having many UV islands/shells will produce effects similar to that. The idea for lightmapping is to reduce the amount of seams you have in order to keep as much of the surface as contiguous as possible. There will always be seams;… -
Re: Flying Dutchman Handpaint Enviro - Unity
This is looking really nice so far, keep it up! I think the smaller wood tiling texture is perhaps a bit too noisy in terms of detail, when it's tiled on the floor it just seems slightly too distracting. I'd also maybe tone down the blue/purple lighting very slightly to make it more of a hue in line with night-time/moon… -
Re: How to create straight round texture?
The quickest way I've found (with my limited Maya knowledge) is to select the shell you want to straighten, select Map Border and then Optimize, at this point you need to Unfold it and play around with the various straightening options, Straighten Border, Shell and UVs, to get the desired result. Try the various options to… -
Re: Space Helmet. .
If you're having issues getting those cylinders baked down, then go back to the low and add more sides, rebake, reoptimize. Won't even have to mess with UV's if ya do it right. Make sure no shells overlap when you do the bake, if you have stacked shells just move them over 1,2,3 etc. so they sit on the tile rather than in… -
Re: Best UV Unwrap software for 3DS Max?
A bit outdated but TexTools for 3dsMax has a Symmetry tool http://renderhjs.net/textools/3dsMax.html Mirror Reflects or flips either 1 side of a UV shell to the other side or average booth sides so that they are in any case identical. This tool comes with 2 modes: * select half the faces of a shell to mark the half to be… -
