Re: UV Mapping, do I have to? Does it ever get fun?
I've only dabbled with uvmapping and I didn't really mind it that much. I made a few ships for Freelancer, and it went pretty quick after getting the hang of Wings3D and uvmapperpro (Which no one mentioned). Hey does any here use UVMapperPro?!?! -
Fairytale Tree Home
So I'm getting close to the stage where the modeling is compete and before I go head first into uvmapping and creating texture maps I would greatly appreciate the input of the many creative talents on this website. Its a portfolio piece and I intend to showcase it using UDK. -
Re: quadrification
Hi Throttle you are also here :) ..... Anyway I did find quite usefull the new graphite tools I must admit I didn't use much but now they are just AWESOME ... I can remove unwanted edges easy and not ruin the uvmapping ^^ ... -
Re: tips for furry animals?
btw I started uvmapping and texturing the LP befoure zbrushing fur , because I tought to instead of zbrushing fur out to use a real skin texturing of a furry animal then use a displacement extrusion and some brushing in zbrush ... nevertired that so is just an idea ... -
Re: 3D Modeling Blockout
Sometimes before blocking out, it helps me to stick the concept onto a plane with a uvmap adjusted against the perspective/angle of the concept, instead of a plain background image. Still not an easy way out, but helps a little if an angled picture is all you're given. 2cents -
Re: How to remap texture to the edited UV?
To be clear, you can't just bake a normal map from one mesh to another as its a standard texture because a (tangent space) normal map containts orientation info that is relative to the orientation of the uv shell, relative to the uvmap. That being said, baking other types of maps should be no problem in the most of… -
Re: UV Tips and tricks?
So theoretically, in an average UT3 scene, how many maps would be used? Or any engine for that matter.. considering there are a ton of objects, characters, and props laying around in most games nowadays.. what would be a good number of UVmaps to aim for? (I'm pretty sure this is an arbitrary question, but i'm still… -
Re: Long hair for game characters workflow?
I make one hair clump usually long ,uvmap it,texture it with alpha and then start duplicating it,resizing and moving it around the head with the lattice deformer,u may have to adjust the shape by moving individual vertices around.Repeat till u have a head full of hair. -
Re: BLINK
Thanks alot d00kie no ones ever said that before about my work :D just about finished lowpoly now its on to uvmapping and textures shes quite low poly only around 6500tris at the moment. any suggestions on where to add some geometry? -
Re: UV Packer and some other crap
I don't want to sound like a douche or derail this thread - but that example of hand-packed UVs truly is horrible! I wouldn't want to work with that and would ask the person in charge of UVmapping that model to redo it (and edit the geometry in some parts to make for better UVs), honestly...
