Re: Seams and more seams in Maya baking
You could just make all of your edges on your low-res mesh smooth. You've got hard edges, but baking it as one UV shell which is giving you those harsh black seams. Split the box element off of the sphere into it's own uv's., like in the screenshot: You're cramming a rectangle shape flat, which is almost impossible to have… -
Re: SKS rifle
Looks nice, great bake for only 7.2k tris but I do think you could have kept it a bit higher to help smooth out some of those edges especially around the wood and some of the 90 degree edges/ curves, for an asset that will be seen up close its more important to keep it looking smooth and it adds a lot to the quality of the… -
Re: The Prince of Dragonstone
Hey you're off to a good start, those wrinkles are looking nice, but the overall silhouette is a bit smooth and the head was a bit distorted. I made a quick liquify paintover I expanded the cranium back a bit, and brought the whole face down, made his nose a bit less wide, exaggerated the silhouette of his face, and also… -
Re: Artifacts in baking NORMAL MAPS.
Did you set up smoothing groups on your low poly before baking? If you didnt...and you have areas where you have hard edges, but its smooth on the high poly...the normal map is going to try to offset that, so you might get a lot of color variation near those edges to try to offset the hard edge. It also looks like you have… -
Re: Asmodeus Mech.WIP
Hey man, great start on your model! First off I think your textures are too low res, they look really muddy up close. You still have a bunch of nasty seams running along the model, you can try painting them out; or place your seams in places where they would seem normal (i.e. black subdivision lines). And lastly your model… -
Re: If not for 3D, where would you be?
Dead. While I was sculpting, I got up to let the dog in because it started storming, but when I stood up I noticed a deformation right above the eyebrow of this head I made, I smoothed it out and while I was smoothing lightning struck the tree in my yard and it crashed through my kitchen where I would have been standing as… -
Re: New here and looking to step up my modeling
You need some control loops around the edges. When you smooth a model it basically averages the faces. There are just a few things you need to learn to make a realy good looking model tbh. How to model with control loops so when you smooth it it looks good, and creating materials to apply to it. Just those can get you… -
Re: displacement map looks as if the mesh is faceted-unlonted lines,3ds max
if you are making a disp map for lowpoly then that is how it is suppose to look. have you tested it on something like marmoset toolbag ? generally the disp map for lowpoly is the difference in height between the lowpoly and the subdivided highpoly. so the height map would be brighter in between vertices/edges which is what… -
Re: Comparing Blender to 3DS Max and other packages
ya got to +1 Stromberg90 post, i started on blender, and have moved to useing modo and maya now. once you get a good understanding of 3d it will olny take you a day at most to learn a new app. a lot of it is up to personal preference too. i will give one warning though, i find it can be quite hard to work with blender when… -
Re: Character ArtTest, Soldier
It would probably have been smart to at least give him a right index finger so he can shoot stuff. And the head looks somewhat messy, with a lot of unneeded triangles on the chin/mouth but too few to round out the cranium. Especially in the rear shots he looks like a pyramid. Some smaller things: I would have cut some…
