Fantasy Style BoatHouse
This is my first post on PolyCount. Working on a low poly stylized boat house scene. I am focusing on modeling on this and most likely will not texture it(at least not any time soon). So i want to make the most of my polygons, and keep a consistant theme/style so please let me know if there is anything out of place. And a… -
Mudbox Issue
Hey, Im having trouble with the dry brush in Mudbox. Im sure it is a simple fix but i an still pretty new to the software. Im working with a model that has about 2 million polygons and has a Ptex setup applied to it. Im getting almost UV looking or plain of boxy artifacts and the dry brush is not doing its job. LMK what… -
Beginner topology question -- Will this be a problem for animation?
This is to be used in a third person shooter. Will the 5 point pole on the inner thigh be troublesome for the animator? And will a kite polygon cause problems being in such a high deformation area? Thanks a lot. I'm really having trouble trying to find ways around these, even using reference. I don't know why this is so… -
[3ds Max] Selected polys become red
This is a totally newb question, but I don't even know how to search for an answer. When I'm selecting polygons in an Editable Poly, sometimes they get highlighted with a red wireframe, sometimes they get highlighted with a red tint: I think this is some sort of setting with a keyboard shortcut that I keep accidentally… -
Maya ShaderFX, reverse normals at vertex shader level?
Hey all, Does anyone know if it is possible and how to reverse the vertex normals on a vertex shader level in ShaderFX for Maya? What I'm after is equivalent to disabling the "double sided" and enabling "opposite" on the shape node of a polygon object. But I can't find anything regarding vertex normals in the Vertex Shader… -
Baking normals
Hello, I'm trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, there are noticeable seams when I apply the normal to the object. The polygons are the same smoothing group. I also tried xNormal and Mudbox and i get the same issue when i apply it. I am viewing it with Xoliul. When I check objectsapce in the material it looks fine,… -
3ds max zooming problem
Hey this is a crappy UI question so sorry if i bore ya. I'm having trouble zooming in on my models at times and it's really frustrating. It just seems to block and i can't zoom in further, even with a polygon on the model selected. Well it doesn't block it zooms in at a very very very slow pace. Anyway that's that any help… -
Xnormal or 3ds Max Hammersley Normals ?
Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if there are any big quality differences between a normal map created in Xnormal and one created in 3ds Max with the Hammersley Global Supersampling. Creating a normal with "Hammersley" especially when you have a HP model with like 300.000 polygons, takes so fu#### long and with xnormal it… -
Anatomy/Topology Study
Hey gang, Here's my latest work in progress!! =D I'm currently trying to fine-tune my topology knowledge with a low-poly base male mesh. Currently the mesh sits at 1000 polygons, 100% quads. I intend to finish the hands/feet and head later this week, and redefine the body a little more. All critiques are welcome!! Thanks,… -
MAx 2011 jerky Viewport
so just got Max 2011 demo to mess with over the break loaded in a moderate lvl polygon model (300,000) when the viewport is maximized, the arc rotate jerks around like a meth addict looking to score (PAN, Zoom...work fine minimized into the standard 4 views and it is as smooth as silk I tried this with some primitives, and…
