Offset Cureve on Surface 3dsmax - Help
hey all It might sound easy but I realy dont get how do I offset circuled edge on face in 3dmax I created box then I champher the edges (the 4 on the wide side of it) in a fillet way, now I want to select all the edges in the side of it and offset them on the surface and extrude it inside. any help will help, thx :P -
Re: My Stapler
Ok, thanks for the tips guys.. I searched 'smoothing break' and found this thread by EarthQuake: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107196 What I've gathered is, make the UV edges based on the hard edges, and use an 'averaged projection mesh' when baking, but apply the map to the hard-edge model. -
Re: BMPT WIP ...and other stuff
Yeah, like people allreaddy have mentioned, most of your edges are to sharp to bake well. You can unfortunately see it on your bake already. On the edges that's hard the normal information isn't strong enough to compensate. I would consider going over every edge and loosing them up. -
Re: Hallway Section
Yup, you will need to bevel the low poly as well. You will also need to soften those edges on the low poly to avoid normal map errors. Here's an example of what you can expect in UE3 with normal maps + beveled soft edges vs hard 90 degree angle edges. -

Re: First 3D gun, need some feedback.
Your edges are fairly sharp. You're going to want to read this to see WHY sharp hard edges are bad for your normal bakes. http://polycount.com/discussion/107196/youre-making-me-hard-making-sense-of-hard-edges-uvs-normal-maps-and-vertex-counts/p1 -
Re: Hard surface. Normal map issue after export into another programm....
The gradations in the normal map are the problem. You will see pixel artifacts and some warping in the specular. An additional fix to split UV and hard edges, is to add support edges much like you would with support lopps in SubD modeling to the problem areas. The the extra edges will reduce the length of the gradations. -
Re: Staghound T17E1
you don't need all those edges like the wheels you can have 10 edges and it can still be round so you may need to delete some edges loop you just don't need all of them but i like the look, keep it up -
Re: Help me please
That's 3ds max with turbosmooth+support edges workflow. Maybe try instead OpenSubdiv+CreaseSet, here's a tutorial about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUzGacqY35o (it doesn't answer your question, but might make your life easier) Also still unrelated, but you might want to avoid those tight edges, the reason is they… -
Re: Bryce's 3D WIP and Improvement Thread
Right now you have a knife that cannot cut and cleaning it would be a mess. Meat would get stuck everywhere in all those edges and grooves, but thats the concept I see. Try redoing the edge so you get a real edge that can slice something, that bevel you have there hinders that
