Re: blender vs 3ds max unwrapping
I hate to be that guy , but did you even read the unwrap section from the manual ? Peel Mode Applies a Quick Peel (see preceding) and then stays active so you can adjust the layout of the texture coordinates interactively. You do so by dragging sub-objects in the Edit UVWs dialog window, which redistributes all vertices in… -
Mini Tutorial: Baking seamless normal maps for glTF
I made this for a client recently, and it's generic enough that I can share here. So, why not? Here are the source meshes, shaded and in wireframe: When I open hexcube-lowpoly.glb in Babylon.js Sandbox (https://sandbox.babylonjs.com/), the normal map does not represent the beveled high-poly shape from hexcube-highpoly.glb,… -
Re: Do UV seams matter as much nowadays?
You mention you could stitch some uv's here and there - but that sounds like you aren't aware of the fact that it'll affect your shading, which of course goes on to effect your bakes and normal maps, lods etc. etc. Yes, you could run a uv -> hard edge script, but that means there could be some UVs that you stitched… -
Re: Per-pixel lighting equations on a smooth shaded mesh
Smooth shaded meshes where all vertices are in the same smooth group just means that the vertex normals are averaged, not that they take on the averaged normal of the face. If all three vertex normals are pointing in the opposite direction of the light, the "smoothed" vertex normal will be to. It will not orient to the… -
Re: 3ds Max/Zbrush: Proboolean + Dynamesh hardsurface workflow tutorial
@cabooes Alright. It seems I found the issue. Zbrush WeldPoints has some weird tolerance slider(Weld Distance). By default it seems to be set to 1. And that will only merge a small portion of vertice. Now you can crank it up higher but I wouldn't recommend since there is no floating point precision in distance(And you… -
Re: n/a
Erm, I think you can use one single neutral gray stucco material colored from vertices. The statement that you'll need to separate stuff into multiple meshes to use vertex colors is incorrect. If you don't want wall vertices to influence the color of e.g. walls or a ceiling, which should retain the original look of their… -
Re: What's chopping up my MD3's?
Yeah, MoP, tried it just now, converting to Mesh and making all the edges visible. I also made sure all the surfaces on the object are all set to the same material ID number. It didn't make any difference, I ended up with the same number of vertices, 1268. In an act of desperation, I tried seeing how it would work with… -
Normal seam between head & torso (Maya)
Hey guys, a little help, please! :) I have a human mesh, separated into two parts - head and torso. On the edge where the head and torso are connected, the vertex normals point in different direction, which makes the shading inconsistent. Easy fix, I thought. I selected all the vertices on torso and neck edges, then issued… -
Particle Mesh Question
Hi, i have a quick question about particle meshes. I've read the Valve workshop section on them and Vermilion Wlad's guide but this is something not covered by that. My question is how it determines what order the vertices are in when it compiles. Usually this doesn't matter because most weapons that use a particle mesh… -
Re: Polygons' edges are seen after baking
Hi! In Blender (4.1), going into edit mode, you can preview the split vertex normals (taking into account hard edges) here: Functions to modify the vertex normals manually, with vertices selected in edit mode, can be found under "Mesh > Normals > ..." - or shortcut "alt + N": To flatten the vertex normals, you would copy…
