Are Floating Edges Bad in-game?
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
Hey all. Got a bit of a technical question for you... when it comes to modeling world geometry, are "floating edges" a bad thing? IE edges that aren't connected back down into nearby verts like the two in this image: I can understand on a mesh that's going to be deforming a lot like a character this would cause weird… -
Multi edge loops in 3ds Max?
Hi all, I'm a newb at 3ds Max, having mostly worked in Blender and Maya before. In Maya, I know one can create multiple evenly spaced edge loops by using the Insert Edge Loop tool and setting the number of loops using the channel box. Is there something similar in 3ds Max? So far I've only seen that it is possible to place… -
Re: Zbrush and sharp edge
Thanks Bek, is what I do, as you see first image and look at the edge loop you can see there is applied some edge loops where I want sharp edge. When apply some levels (or only one) subdivision and turn back to level 1 (or export level one) zbrush rounding all relaxing the edge loops. Neox, thanks for your advice, I will… -
Re: [Maya Plugin] Auto Round-Edge Normal Maps
Baking one object to another is the same conceptually as it is for any traditional high-low workflow. The only difference here would be that you can construct your highpoly as a relatively simple mesh with the bevel edge shader, with different edge widths for different parts (set per object or per material, uniform edge… -
[Rounded Pipes] Too Many Edges?
Hi all, So I'm working on some pipes and I wasn't too sure if my rounded corners have too many edges or not. Currently I have 2 edges in the rounded corner and if I look at the model without shaded edges on you can sort of see a little faceting going on in the mesh, but will that go away once I model a high poly and apply… -
Bevel Edges/Hard Surface Modelling
Hi guys, could do with some advice about beveling edges. Are there any steps/techniques involved to get the disired look? Ive attached an image of what I've got so far, its the butt at the end of an assault rifle. I've marked the horizontal and vertical edges that I would like to bevel in red and blue. Do you bevel one… -
Re: How to quickly select edges with XSI?
Thank you so much guys! Now, is it possible to select edges without worrying about XSI selecting edges on the OTHER side of my model? It seems every time I go through selecting edges I am constantly having to flip the model around and undo the random edges that got selected. -
Re: Arnold is rendering soft edges hard
I baked it in Substance Painter then exported the textures in Metal Roughness in EXR format.It's not the texture maps, Arnold is not rendering edges soft when I make them soft. You can see the edge is clearly hard but I have smoothed the edge multiple times. It's like Arnold is not seeing the edges are soft for some reason. -
Re: maya: select edges in crevices?
not sure exactly what your asking, but I use the ctrl-rmb marking menu religiously, it has all the ring,loop, convert slections tools in it and makes selecting all the hard to get components much much easier, and it support multiple sets of selctions.(i.e. select random edges on different part of the model and… -
Hand painted texturing edge lighting question
Hi guys just wondered how do u guys create ur edge lighting on your hand painted 3d assets? Do u use a specific photoshop brush or some technique ? I' ve read some people manipulate their baked maps to get this effect. I can never achieve gd edge lighting and always wonder whats the secret behind league of legends or wild…
