Re: So surreal...
![[MILES]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/navatar16155_3.gif)
An Update: Grace has been home from the NICU for three weeks now. She has been doing super! And my wife is doing great as well. I love being a dad. I dont sleep as much as I used to...but I'm finding I dont really need it as much as I thought I did. I can't wait for the journey to unfold and I thank God for this… -
Re: Unwrap Issues
It may be easier to handle the unwrapping by doing a box unwrap so each side it its own island, then stitch them together, so it's like when you see a cardboard box unfolded. I can see in the picture the Uvs are overlapping and relaxing can help. Also The first button under Reshape Elements shapes the selected UVs into… -
Re: Getting into it with a key.
Try not to put so much noise in your texture, all the height info is really strong and really uniform. Make sure to have good reference of what you´re trying to make both for the model and the texture. I can see some stretched uv´s on the end bits, make sure to check your uv´s using a checker pattern when unfolding. Keep… -
Re: Polygon Hair UV Method (Maya/Blender)
In maya, I would either grab the bottom verts in the viewport, or the uv editor, whichever is easiest*. Then align them all to the bottom and move the whole set down to suit the texture, and repeat for the top. Then unfold the center uvs using legacy mode/vertical to fix the stretching. *I'm assuming here that they've all… -
Re: Relax Tool on beveled edges (3ds Max)
No this is not normal, it should not happen. I work with face weighted normals a lot and I don't have this issue. Anyways, what I can tell based on your uvmap, I'm not sure if its the bevel that causes the issue. But more like the way you unwrap things. We can see a corner piece on your image, but you don't have a seam on… -
Re: Critique on UV's
Maya has an awesome soft selection brush for UVs (top left of the window). Use it to your advantage - you don't have to keep the UV islands exactly the way you got them automatically unfolded. For instance, the shape you have under the hands could be straightened out to fit into a layout much better ; the tentacles could… -
Re: What is your ambition ¿ (Question)
the angry badger just makes that awesome :D As for myself, I essentially just wanna make kick ass games. If it it unfolded like I have in my head it would get my a prototype done in a contest like unreal or something and actually have a company that wants to pick up and just go from there. Otherwise, I'll just join the… -
Re: Mudbox
Shaze, those tools can be used for creating also. i am doing very rough basemeshes(cubemen) and then creating something, i am not MODIFYING it. also, in zbrush you can start from zspheres, sculpt over it, retopology, applying details from old mesh, paint texture over high rez, then extracting model(for lowpoly), uv it in… -
Re: Baking/Smoothing Groups Question
I think we're mixed up here. :tongue: I have my smoothing groups assigned, THEN I uvw modifier, select faces by sg, and project/unfold and done... I don't assign a smoothing group while unwrapping, if that is what you are thinking. Basically, I assign SG's prior, so it's easier for me to select faces, rather than manually… -
Re: UV map stretching question
Thank you for all your replies :) It turns out that I had been taught incorrectly concerning unfolding UV maps. Question to remotecrab. Could you explain the thing about understanding what gives stretching UV? Also one more question. It's a good practice to place near the elements that are "made" of the same material? Skin…
