Question: Lowpoly + Painted Texture > Optimal smoothing group
Hi, i'll try to texture a turtle in WoW style and asked myself how i should do the shading. To avoid hard edges i would just add 1 sg to all. I tested it with a stone. I think the shading (1 sg to all faces) look bad on any stone. Besides that we have a shot from Diablo and i ask myself - how the achieve #2? #1 is clear -… -
Re: Smoothing errors on hard-surface pieces aka how to get clean bakes
Yep, that's exactly what you're suppose to do. I just was wondering if there's a quick and efficient way of doing it. Text Tools just seems to mess up the smoothing groups when I use the "Smoothing Groups From UV Shells" button. Thanks for the link though -
Inset / Chamfer 1 Smooth group
Hi all so im back :D , Ok this time I am wondering if it will be too much to chamfer edges and use inset when making models for games. The reason i am doing this is that with the right combination of those two (chamfer+inset) I am able to use 1 Smooth group on whole assets (mesh) and it looks like almost super high poly… -
Re: How to smooth top face of the cylinder without those wrinkles?!
@Joao Sapiro Your method is more practical if you want to modify the object later, but if you smooth that out with turbosmooth you will have pinch in this area check screen. I used 3 turbo/spherify to smooth out better that zone. And also if you turbosmooth a cube without adding the spherify modifier your sphere/cylinder… -
High poly/smoothing problem...
I'm about to rip my hair out here, figured I'd try actually asking for help rather than self-imposed baldness. I'm working on a personal project right now (in 3ds Max), got the concept model right where I wanted it yesterday and started working on it's final replacement. Getting my edge loops in for Turbosmooth to round… -
Re: Weird smoothing/normal map error
There are basically two reasons people suggest triangulating your mesh: A. Max can give unreliable results, ei: Ignore your "invisible edge" orientation on quads and use the opposite, this generally will result in a distinct "X" shaped smoothing error, as the edge in the bake is running against the edge in the mesh. B.… -
Re: Why do my normals look bad in CE3? No smooth transition.
Huh? Is there a guide I can read on smoothing edges. I didnt know you dont smooth when the edges are >90 degrees. And yes I exported with the crytiff plugin and correct preset. Actually I just did an -> average normals, on certain faces and exported that into ce3. It seems only soften edge or harden edge works in ce3… -
Blending textures (no smooth transition) [3D]
Hello everyone! First I would like to apologize because I am very new to 3D. I've used unity a little and experimented with 2D. I think I want to try some 3D in Unreal now. So in 2D we have tiles: I can paint the grass tiles in and then add the dirt and autotiles gives me a nice clean transition. I looked at Zelda links… -
Constant creases when adding edge loops with smooth preview
Hi, does anyone else have great difficulty when adding edge loops to tighten up geometry then when they smooth preview find they're constantly getting creases? I'm modeling a minigun and I've got a few extrusions for detail along a couple of cylinders but when I try to add edge loops I'm getting these annoying creases all… -
Creating Albedo/Specular/Smoothness textures for scratched metal
I was hoping to get some general advice for creating scratched metal textures for PBR specular workflow. I know that generally metals will have a dark, nearly black albedo, and a relatively bright specular. What I'm not entirely sure of is what a scratch would look like across those three textures. I assume that scratches…
