Re: Mirrored uvs but no seam....
A split normal is result from using a hard edge (Maya) or different smoothing groups (Max). Gaps in your normal map are a projection artifact caused by using a split normal/hard edge; with a cage, it uses the cage's normals instead (which are smoothed), thus eliminating that artifact. If you use a cage, you shouldn't have… -
Re: Photoshop brush settings
Basically its about hard edged brushes and soft edged. You should use hard edged most of the time. You can live with a simple round airbrush, just the spacing settings are important to set up to blend. Set Pressure to Opacity and/or size, and thats about it. Sampling your own brushes, jittering and else is fine also if you… -
Re: Never made a character for animation before. Need help.
someone says... what does this someone mean with "collapse joints"? Is this for rigid skinning or by how many bones can one vert be influenced? The only thing I would comment is that the edge flow could be a bit more natural. Atm they are quite flat seen from the side. The link you posted shows a bit more natural edge… -
Re: Problems with modular Assets in Unity
Looks like you might want to UV this as a whole, not as individual parts. There's some mirroring between the left and middle parts. I would suggest UVing everything together, then split them up and use an Edge Split modifier so that you get some hard edges where you need it. Don't worry about the edges splitting, Unity… -
Re: Normal Map Seam
I made the seams hard edges, and I inverted the green channel in the normal map, and the seams are still there. Not as bad, and the seams are gone in some places, but its still pretty bad. Now, I had to split the edges in Blender because it does not support smoothing groups, but it's the same thing right? I don't know, is… -
Re: Severe UVW Map Error (Can anyone help)
Did you turn any edges? Ive seen this occur when the mesh has been modified at the edge of the UV map. Most times when an edge is turned that cross sections another portion of the UV. You can see that the verts are snapped from one section too another. Not much of a problem all you need to do is break the verts and move… -
Re: Leonidas Statue Sculpt WIP
The feet seem a little big, and the leg armor could use a little beefing up. I actually really like the definition of the face. Maybe calm the lower lip down a bit, though. I'd define the edges of the helmet a bit more, too - the edges are pretty hard in the reference, but they're looking quite soft right now. Same with… -
Re: Texture Map and Rendering Help
I haven't used displacement maps much but just looking at your result my guess would be that the displacement is pushing out along the vertex normals of your mesh, so you're getting seams because you're using a hard edged cube. If you want a seamless result try beveling your edges and using soft edges (non-split vertex… -
Re: mars rover
Yeah, you do have to have supporting edges to make sure they stay hard. Or if your software has it, you can use edge weight, I'm using edge weighting religiously when doing subd models. Adding extra loops is pretty much the norm when subd modeling, especially hard surface. Did you do any booleans for your holes, in the… -
3Ds Max shortcut Issue
Hey 3Ds Max user, I have a question for you, I looked a video from Arimus on youtube about shortcut and he is assigning Shift+x Shift+y Shift+z to Align xyz Shift+y and Shift+z are working but Shift+x still changing the edge constraints even if it's not assigned to edge constraints. Shift+V is assign to edge constraint I…
