Hi, I wanted to create precise carvings (would be baked on a normal map) around a mesh, like this: What could be the best approach for this? I've tried creating the shape, and using curves in blender to move around the base mesh, but it's a bit difficult to control. What would you do?
Hi everyone, First, thanks for this forum. I'm fairly new and shy, and it seems like a great place for 3D, lots of cool projects :) I'd like some feedback on my latest project. My first idea was to experiment with PCG (Procedural Content Generation) and possibly turn it into a full scene. This is where I've ended up so…
Hi! There are a few ways to go about when creating custom masks, but non of them are particularly difficult! What I usually do is to create a custom base material in black and white, always tile-able so that they can be reused in future projects. Those are the materials you see under "PATTERNS" in the material browser in…
I've begun using Ddo/3do painter as my go to for painting out seams and was wondering if there's an easy way to create a project with only an albedo map. Since the content I'm producing only features a color map I don't need the Spec Gloss and Normal maps which are created automatically. Currently I'll remove them after…
My biggest question is how does the lowest detail object have the same UVs as the main object? Do you lay out UVs on the original and then duplicate the object and remove edge loops etc to create the next LOD and so on? This may be pretty simple but I just have no experience in creating them.
Hi there, I'm moving away from using the Quixel suite as I'm getting a few too many crashes lately and have become increasingly impressed while using a trial of Substance Indie. My question is though, for someone that has relied on using something like NDO to create normal information, how can this workflow be adjusted for…
hey there, I'm back again with another problem I'm having which I cannot find an answer for on the Internet so I need your help again.. I'm trying to create a little script to help me creating simple symetrical objects by creating a mirrored base object. But I'm stuck on not being able to select certain edges to do…
On Ornatrix grooms I kept hitting two things: I rebuild the same operator stack on every character, and a fully-built stack tanks the viewport while I'm still iterating. How I've been handling it: * Build the stack in a fixed order (Surface Comb → Rotate → Clump → Curl → Frizz → Detail → Noise → Gravity → Change Width) so…
Hello Polycounters ! Well, I've been looking around the internet to find an answer about creating Polygon colliders in Maya (2015) to use them in Unity Engine. But surprinsingly, I haven't found any clear answer on how to create these ! I've heard about some old tools here and there, and a plugin that I can't make work,…
Hello everyone! In addition to our still ongoing hiring for freelance 3D Artists which we posted here a couple of months ago, we are now opening a new recruitment track for freelance 3D Modelers as well, to work on new projects with Physicl, 3D branch of Nfinite. You will be working on creating sim-compatible 3D models of…
