Re: [MAYA] BNormal (Update) - Free Face weighted vertex normal Plugin
hello guys, anyone is still here? I have tried the script with maya2020, it could run well. But the result is not good as the comment shows, i have no idea why it happen. After i went through all the comments, I noticed that smooth edges seems important, but what is that means, add soften edge to the cylinder？If anyone can… -
Re: ACR Weapon
The large side port on your weapon that ejects your emty cardridges. Look up videos/images on how weapons funtion, so you get a better understading how things are made and funtion. How you should make these more smooth transtion/curve surfaces is up to you, bevel/chamfer is one way. One more thing on your high-poly, work… -
Re: mixing 3dsmax (arnold) rounded corners shader baking with traditional highpoly to lowpoly baking
Arnold updates have to be downloaded separately unless there's an actual version update to Max, in which case AD usually bundles the latest stable release of MaxToA in it. As far as OP's question goes, there's usually no problems mixing either floaters or subdivision meshes with round edge workflows, Arnold's round edge… -
Re: Topology for Low Poly - Vertex Poles
I've already done my high-poly and was just going through and looking for areas to optimize on the low. The edges are marked hard and the uvs are split around the hole, so there isn't shading issues, bakes turn out clean. I was curious of the performance difference between tri-stripping and tri-fanning, and how relevant… -
Re: Questions about hard surface modelling with mesh smooth...
A tip I found (from the following video: http://vimeo.com/10941211?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Cgarena-GetAttentionInCG+%28CGArena+-+Get+Attention+in+the+Computer+Graphics+Community%29) was that, rather than using Chamfer on the edges you're trying to harden, use Connect on the edges… -
Re: Antique Coffee Grinder
Now that's a good looking grinder. I like how you went your own way with some parts instead of 100% copying it, your textures are convincing, and you pulled off the whole antique thing. Your normals have some pinched/doubled edges though. This happens either when your cage has intersecting or open slits due to hard edges,… -
Re: 2 Questions: Black Seams on AO Bake & Selecting Inverted Faces Only
Hey Man, The black seems along the edges are most likely caused because your UVs are getting the padding you need. All the way at the bottom of the batch bake window you will see an edge padding option. Go ahead and increase that from 2-4, and see if that fixes the edge issue. As for your other problem, try the conform… -
Re: thread where I post stuff and get feedback
Not in Ddo. But inside your 3d suite. That I know of, the causes of seams like this are, the smoothing groups on the low poly or the Unwrap. I would start with the smoothing groups and to test just make the top and sides one group.(Max) I am a max user. Or with Maya make a soft edge. Rebake. If there is a break in the UV… -
Re: Sci-Fi Scene
I think your spec is too broad and overall very bright. I think you can do better if it had a little more contrast. Especially with edge hi-lights of some sort or lighting the bolts. Theres a bunch of stuff you can do. Also your normal map is a bit on the wonky side. When you bake out I recommend just hardening all the… -
Re: Improving Waviness in Cylindrical Objects
Cheers Zac and Obscura. I started with 64 sides on the cylinder because it was the most appropriate amount to start with due to the location of the mail slot, and the door on the post box. When it came to the low poly I felt 64 sides was too many so halved it to 32. I'll definitely give the method shown with sides a go on…
