Re: Smoothing problem in Zbrush
If you are looking to start off the sculpt in Zbrush using the low poly model you have a few options: #1 - Dynameshing the pieces at a decent resolution so you can remove polygon face detail easily without affecting large shapes. #2 - Adding creases before subdividing either inside Zbrush or in Maya. #3 - Adding beveling… -
Is it possible to merge smooth motions into a static mesh? (like low exposure photos of dancers)
Like there's an example, this is a low exposure photo of a dancer, there's these smooth sweeping motions, and I can't even wrap my head around how one start to model this.... Like what would you do after having keyframes? do you think this is possible? I'm well versed in multiple software, but i'm unsure if any are able to… -
Does any one still use smooth Proxy in Maya
Hi I am currently teaching an MA in game art and about to delve into modelling with subdivs.I have not used Smooth Proxy in a very long time but I was just wondering does anyone still use Smooth Proxy in Maya and also has open subdivs had any impact on modelling workflows ? Thanks Simon -
3DS Max -- UV 'flat mapping' based on smooth groups?
Hello! Has anyone come across a method or script that will allow someone to quickly flat map UV's based on the meshes smooth groups? So rather than an angle threshhold, the flap mapping creates UV islands based on your meshes smooth group? Possible? Done before? Any info on this would be appreciated. Thank you! -
Smoothing Groups, Cage, UVW Split
Hello! I am making a low poly object and baking a normal map for it from a high poly version. I am planning to use cages for normal map projection since most of my pieces have 90 degree angles on them. I have a question about how to unwrap my low poly object. I understand that wherever there are 90 degree angles I must… -
Maya 2011 smooth mesh preview not working correctly on quads?
So I made a quad, hit 3 to see it in smooth mesh preview and it did not turn into a circle, any idea? I deleted my prefs and the issue still happens. Smooth mesh preview works fine on 3d objects but not planes. Strangely enough if I extrude the outer edges of the plane it works fine, is this a new bug in Maya 2011, I went… -
Please Help ! My mesh doesn't polish with smooth edges.
Hello ! I am on a tight deadline and I came up with this problem. I have a 8K Alpha but when I use it model on my base, it doesn't give crisp edges. When I smooth it with Polish deformation option with an increment of 10, it doesn't become smooth. I am a little new to ZBrush so please help me out with little bit of more… -
Re: Assigning smooth groups to each UV island in Modo?
For smoothing groups, there's no easy way of doing that. For setting hard edges, it's a bit easier. Vertex Maps > Set Vertex Normals. Untick "Use Smoothing Angle" and set Smoothness to 100%. Then from UV tools, Select > Select UV Border. Then, from the Edge tools, Split Normals (or Geometry > Edge > Split Normals). Set… -
Smoothing issue coming from ZBrush
Hello everyone. I'm guessing and hoping this will probably be a pretty easy question. I've exported two versions of the same model from Zbrush into .obj files, 1 at the initial level and the other at subdiv level 4 that I was hoping to bake into the first as a normal map. Trouble is, within the viewport I'm getting some… -
Smooth calculation mystery.
Hi, I'm currently working on a car(ish) project where I have to make certain parts excactly how they are in the TurboCAD drawings. I stumbled on a annoying issue I really can't find a solution for. For example; I'm making a part where I have to cut a hole with a radius of 2.5cm. The circle etc is all fine and all'. Sadly…
