Re: Maya Split Polygon Tool + snap problem
When you are snapping to verts and splitting Maya doesn't understand that you are going across any lines since it is treated as a screen space projection. Ergo it thinks you are trying to end the split on the same line it started. Drawing a spike, beginning on an edge and ending it on the same edge without the end of the… -
Re: What's the difference between modelling a hole and painting an alpha(transparency)?
Depends. How is the model going to be used? If for an augmented reality customer try-on, then file size is super important since you want the customer to be able to download it quickly. Alpha test is the way to go here, instead of a ton of vertices. But if it’s an up-close interactive 3d product viewer, then you’ll… -
Re: Re-exporting mesh gives shading issues (n-gon to tris)
It looks like some of the tris have zero surface area or are overlapping (because of the automatic triangulation) This causes visible edges like you have - because you have two edges right next to each other. Or even overlapping. This is not uncommon with N-gons - which is why people say to avoid them. You need to edit the… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - May & June 2019 (60)
@Joseph_A_Gagnon I don't know how much of my feedback you already know since you said you didn't have enough time and are not new, but I will try to give useful feedback anyway. The edges of of your meshes, most noticeably the walls and window geometry are very harsh. I would suggest making a high poly version with nice… -
Re: Splash Damage art test, too
Ok, paintovers: #1 First, the red/green/blue ares represent chunks where I would model all of the detail "solid" without intersection. The purple areas are generally fine to intersect, but you may even want to consider modeling some of these solid, again as it will look better(seamless) in the end result The red lines show… -
Re: Modo vs blender for pure modelling and texturing
For modeling, Modo. Blender is a very balanced package, no one area is completely ignored, but it doesn't really excel in any either. The main modeling advantages Modo has over it are: -Modos workplane is more powerful then Blenders 3D/2D cursor -Selection methods are far more streamlined -modeling tools are more… -

Re: Weird Triangulation when baking Normal Map (Substance Painter > Marmoset)
Your Maya screen clearly shows faceted shading . So something is definitely wrong . Check shading in Maya and make sure you have split/hard edges in those areas in your exported model. Import fbx back in Maya and check . We also need to see your UV to figure out if you doing it right . The hard/split edges shouldn't be set… -
Re: When do you use a cage vs using distance-based raycast (cageless)
Yes, averaged bakes/cage bakes work best for organic assets with no hard edges/single smoothing group, and can be problematic for hard surface assets, as averaged bakes introduce skewing to your models details. Best to just not worry and always bake with a cage/average normals, while using something like Marmoset to paint… -
Re: Moonshire - WoW Inspired environment
Pretty nice looking stuff. These are the few small things I noticed: 1-the knot in the middle of the barrel is weird. too big, too centered. It just really draws the attention. 2-The ropes need to be one smooth group. Right now they have really sharp edges and look like cubes. (this is the worst offense imo) 3-on the blue…
