Re: VSS "Vintorez" silent sniper rifle
I agree on the scope thing, the eyepiece rubber guard thingamajig needs more segments. You could probably add more segments to it only, and just collapse edges to vertices behind where the player can't see. Since the rest of the scope is at an angle the player would not likely notice that it has less segments than the… -
Re: Gabriel's Progress Thread
You should try to avoid poles if possible (vertices with more than 4 edges coming)and it's important that you have a clear set of edgeloops around the eyes and a clear set around the lips, both can provide better deformations but also more anatomical credibility I've found a useful tutorial:… -
Re: Failed Art Test Critiques
it looks like it has some unnecessary edgeloops. also, small circles have too many sides. to optimize them you can weld certain vertices together, so that general shape is retained but it's more blocky. if you look at models made by guys from industry you will likely see what i mean. -
Re: Alice: Madness Returns
My guess is that a texture sheet is used to add some more "weight" to certain vertices in the physics calculations? Like the tips of the hair can move a lot more wildly then the roots. Just guessing though! jerry: Awesome! Spicey Horse should release a technical paper on both their cloth and hair sims, they just look too… -
Re: long faces in low poly causing baking issues
The reason for this is explained here in the normal mapping category. http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/shane/hotfix_4_3ds_max_2011_3ds_max_design_2011 Optionally you can average the normals of all the vertices which are planar, this would reduce the distortion and make it possible for the normal map to be used on a LOD model… -
Re: Simple Mask model ?
Select the polygons that roughly covers the shape. press detach, check detach as clone. now you got a new object with that shape. Adjust the vertices to your taste and then apply shell modifier. Sorry, I was assuming you have the facial features in the topology of the face but its not the case so you need to move some… -
Re: Difference between Substance Painter's "Average Normals" baking and a traditional cage workflow?
I only saw that once and haven't modelled anything since worth checking for it, it could have been a bug in that model, or scene or max version or earths gravitational field so take that with a grain of salt. Btw, you can see it clearly, how the vertices will change direction, if they do. Easy to see but a lot of verts to… -
Re: Game Art Workshop - Workshop #5 - Leica M3
I think I'm going to take a go at this, the only thing I am unsure about is how to extract the circles out of a flat surface in maya. Would I want to do hard surface modeling toggling back and forth from smooth view, or simply double-extrude and and move around vertices? Thank you in advance :) -
Re: low poly castle critique
It needs more contrast in values. It could use a bit more saturation. I'd suggest using vertical gradient baking as well. Other that it's looking good so far. The only thing that bugs me is not seeing how the chain is connected to the drawbridge and to the wall. (You could possibly paint a plate or something where the… -
Re: [UE4] Public Restroom Environment
Got the idea from this guy: http://polycount.com/discussion/158093/ue4-abandoned-georgian-room-scene#latest He explains it somewhere there, you have to modify the normals of the top vertices where it touches the actual ceiling and have them look downward, then just apply a planar uv to both ceiling plane and the peeled…
