Re: Grand Meteora, UDK Environment
Thanks Lankus! I agree about the open sky part, thanks for the tip. I did a lot trial and error learning with this one and there are still a number of issues that could be improved I believe. Now I can begin to apply what I've learned to upcoming projects, which are in the works:) -
Re: Makarov Handgun-[WIP]
Triangulated mesh reacts better to the push modifier, meaning you get less errors when making a baking cage. (assuming you're using a cage to bake normals) I usually dont save the triangulated mesh though, since i find triangulated topology nearly impossible to work with. -
Re: Repeat command at mouse position
Ahh, function I see you set the empty array as a float variable, from what I know of MEL you don't have too ? The script worked, although after I run it a few times it fires an error on line 8 ? Where did you get MPosition ? -
Re: AK-47
Here are some refs, I would really try to get it as accurate as possible since you are baking normals. http://www.pixagogo.com/9865254616 Also, your UV maps don't look like you separated all of the smoothing group islands, which would give you baking errors. -
Re: organic rock UV seams
and you bring up a good point, the less like a quadsphere the shape, the more distortion that gets introduced so it's not always feasible to stick to the rigid baseball layout, but keeping the whole process and its shortcomings in mind you can normally mitigate them, and that just takes practice, trial and error... -
Re: Baking AO maps, when is it worth it?
Thanks for the responses. I've tried default AO bakes from xnormal in the past, unexploded, and didn't like the result. Thought it looked sketchy and certain parts of the model seemed to be projected on top of other parts. But it was probably user error, I'll have to look at some tutorials and give it another shot. -
Re: Car - Mustang (slightly stylized).
It lets you know you've got un-merged verts, which can be super useful if you don't intend to have un-merged verts. If you you get shading errors without a seam it'll mean flipped normals or double geo. It might not be pretty but it is pretty handy. -
Re: 3ds max object scale to big.
Hey, I just got this error "vertex coordinate too big adjust vertex scale" while exporting my high poly to .obj. I fixed this by resetting xForm on 2 objects I made recently (I used boolean to make them). So, that was my way to fix it. -
Re: Images won't display.
Do a google on it to learn what it means. It looks like this in your address bar. But if you try to use it for Polycount, you'll get an error like this: If you go to the Extensions page for Chrome, which of yours are enabled? What happens if you disable them and visit the Polycount homepage? chrome://extensions/ -
Re: Sub-division help needed, pretty-please
It was just a method that gave me the least amount of error. I was asking for advice on how to address it because I knew it was ugly, so thanks. Oh, and I did separate the geometry. That's what my newest update shows and describes. Maybe read first? :poly124: Thanks again, Stradigos :)
