Re: Need advice - Lego House :)
Thank you Mark, that tool looks awesome and I can imagine it could be really helpful with building the walls for this house, I will definitely be giving it a try to see how it works, thanks for letting me know about it. The tutorial looks great also. I am just about done building all the floater pieces and will soon be… -
Re: Unwrap Tools 1.6 and UV Toolbox 1.7
incorporated the icon and macroscript technique into my TexTools release (your code was a nice help to figure stuff out with the icons): http://boards.polycount.net/showpost.php?p=991290&postcount=472 I changed the icon though and added a command to refresh the icon cache in 3dsmax (on the installation), otherwise you… -
Re: Workshop #1 - indian_boy
For floating geometry, the basic concept is to match the outer lip of the floater to the shape of the object it's supposed to blend into (and sometimes topology if the surface is not flat). Adding an extra loop in the "lip" can make the blending curve sharper, scaling it outward makes it softer, etc. In the seam you have… -

Boolean? Did i eard boolean?! :O nooo... eh eh, nah man, just make a concave floater for the eagle and bake it, you'll be fine. It seems you have a solid base to work from and you know what you want. Good luck with it. For this piece it self, personally i would avoid having too many hard edges, i like to have my high… -
Re: Prop Exercise
Can definitely maximize your UV space more. You have two pieces that will probably never be seen taking up a large amount of UV space. Even if you do see the top part, the shell of something you see should probably be bigger than one you won't. You also have some pretty simple high poly geo in there. There's nothing wrong… -
Re: New Heavy Gun - Kira
Why is it the smaller the cylinders / piping have like 2x more loops than the larger details? it should be the complete opposite dude, the areas with the most screen visibility should have the more geo / texture space, especially for an fps. You also don't need any of those vertical loops on the main section since u could… -
Re: Jonathan F prop art
Sorry for the delay yall! had a more interesting weekend than planned, then had to reinstall Maya as it was doing some weird stuff to me. :p ANYWAYS! Raul gave me some great pointers and am learning how to apply them now to my pieces. Thanks Raul! I still have lots of little things to model now... still have a few more… -
modeling technique questions
I have a few questions about modeling complex characters such as this : 1. If you create a head with more vertexes than the neck, what is the best strategy to go about connecting the two, or should you have it as a "floater" 2. Would objects like the shoulder straps/body armor be seperate objects from the main mesh? 3. Can… -
Re: I need advice on simple low to high poly workflow for curved quad geometry
Yeah, that's why I'm trying out the workflow in the post above, which works with absolutely any model for as long as I follow two simple conventions (never have quads narrower than 2x chamfer and keep edges you want smooth under certain angle limit). The highpoly takes under a minute and literally consists of slapping few… -
Re: Leica M3 for Marmoset Toolbag article
Another quick render here, quickly updated the tripod mount plate with a little love, and added in those circular thingies that are always a pain in the ass to pry apart on the strap lug. Simple change, but I think it adds a nice little bit of extra visual interest there. Some wires as well, there's a few sub-d tricks…
