Re: My first low poly model
Its not really constructive to say he's trying to make it look bad on purpose is it? Low poly modelling is an important skill and for someone who is new its a good place to start. What I would recommend Komalrajsingh is looking at the smoothing groups, there are so many limitations with low poly that your smoothing groups… -
Re: Lion Warrior
Assuming you aren't going to render him with fur... I think you should try to imitate the "noisy" texture the fur generates with the colors. For example the black lines in the Concept Art aren't smooth and crisp as yours currently are. So instead of drawing a single line/stroke, draw a bunch of black lines to show the… -
Re: Critique much appreciated (head sculpt WIP)
Just dropping by to second this. It's much easier to smooth out and move around shapes at a lower subdiv. It looks odd, yes, but as you slowly move up the point-count you have more and more control over what you need to have control over at that point in the workflow. If you start at a very high pointcount, then smoothing… -
Re: Topology problem, maybe baking problem?? In need of help!
Looks like a non-issue to me, honestly. It's barely noticeable. If it really bothers you, then I'll explain: because of the way your mesh is built and your UV's are separated, you get a strong gradient on this "peak" with or without the added cuts to make it more rounded. You get this strong artifact simply because the… -
Re: Xnormal - normal map seams, inverted??
thanks butthair, the tread around the high poly was flat but you were dead on about the smoothing groups. turns out world/object normal won't work in the engine anyway so i'm back to using tangents. being a noob i had a lot to work out. the main difference i found between the two normal map types are to do with smoothing… -
Re: Game prop practice
Well, nice start, but maybe just one thing. While on the main piece (half-cylinder), you can clearly see edges, as in, it's quite low poly, the horizontal cylinder seems to be VERY smooth, i'd say too smooth. Since you put so few sides on the big cylider, i don't think it's good idea to put so many on the smaller one. I… -
Re: Newbie Character Modeling: Garnet
This model won't be used for anything probably, but I'm using it as a tool to learn how to model for games. Let's say it's for a fighting game like Mortal Kombat. I would like to do a texture, but I've tried many times to UV unwrap and I just don't have the patience for it. I might slap on some surface shaders and call it… -
Re: Project: MotoGP KTM 125 bike
Also got some wires together......some of the flow is pretty poor but it smooths ok, its really only the fuel tank that offends me......not sure how im going to build the low poly mesh yet, but if im going to use this as a base I'll have to sort some of the meshflow out.... Anyone got any crits here I'd love to hear them,… -
Re: [UE4] Does importing ngons save on performance in UE4? Debate with my colleague
if you have all the edges on your model set to "hard" so they have more than one normal per vertex unreal will duplicate the vertexes for each face that's set this way. However if you've got a bunch of N-gons the triangles within the n-gon will basically be soft edged. This could mean the n-gons are stopping the vertex… -
Re: gnomon believable eyes but with arnold renderer?
Managed to get it working by mapping it in the X axis instead of the Z I was using but I have a bit of an issue here. Viewport 2.0 Legacy default viewport 3rd and 4th are with smooth and linear interpolation arnold renders no interpolation arnold render Legacy default viewport is showing basically the results I want in…
