Re: low poly to zbrush workflow?
My guess is that you need to add supporting loops in maya/modo or use creasing in zbrush to keep your hard edges. One of the easiest ways that I have found is to make polygroups for different smoothing groups (ie if there is a hard edge you would have two polygroups, one on each side of the edge), and then doing 'crease… -
Re: Viewport Canvas-Textures detail lost after saving textures
I wanted to ask is there a better workflow artists use in Photoshop if you want to paint wear or chiped paint on the edges of a 3d model and that edge seperates into 2 uv islands. How would you do this or for this 3d painting is required? Is there any sort of PS script that moves your brush between two uv island edges as… -
Re: Oxygen Blade (first time texture)
....Proportions of the sword? You might want to bevel the handle that is squared out. Just to give it some smooth edge ( Just a little bit) like it is in the concept. :) You can get rid of that pixelated edges in the normal map, by blending them out (just the pixelated edges not the entire thing.) Over all, kick ass work… -
Re: Sub D Modeling - Creases
It's all about laying down edge loops, a crease can be as tight as you wish if you simply duplicate the edge loop, placing them really close together. After a bit you can start to intuitively think like the subdivision, how it will react to how the edges are laid out. Post an example, that's the easiest way to understand… -

Re: How do I find a balance between time and quality when creating game assets for an indie game?
@pior Hi, thanks for the advice! I've tried different methods and right now I just model all the parts, mark seams, vector paint mask areas that are gonna share materials, join them, turn on auto smooth and add weighted normals, then I manually go through and bevel edges until they look smooth before I triangulate and UV… -
Re: Sketchbook: BlazefuryX
Hi BlazefuryX, I enjoy your updates, keep it up. Here's some general unsolicited advice that might help with your life studies. 1. Be aware of zoom-in blindness. You must look at your reference, this must happen. But be aware that when focusing intently on a feature, it creates blind spots. 2. Find repeating shapes or… -
Re: Anyone upgrading to Windows 10?
I was developing a web page with a lot of flowing/responsive elements and had the same page open in Firefox, Chrome and Edge for testing, and Edge is by far the fastest of the browsers. The page lags and flutters in Chrome/Firefox (while resizing browser), but in Edge it's buttery smooth. It feels very snappy and… -
Re: Bevels vs Sharps
Is that baker active again? Was deactivated last time I baked in Substance. The curvature baking is not wrong, the curvature information is just limited to the face of the bevel. Look at the model you posted with the curvature map applied, you will see that only the UV shell of the top has contains information around that… -
Re: The Beast - Questions and Answers
angrytrout All I was trying to say is that the edge flow needs to be clean rather than a mess of triangles, as stated in one of the judging criteria: "Technical Mastery - Edge flow, efficient UVs, all the boring stuff that makes an asset great!" But if decimation master gives you a good readable/practical edge flow, then…
