Re: Just a simple (bloody) backpack and possible a wicked flashlight
Okay, after todays work I am quite disapointed of my result. I have made some wrong geometry from the beginning and later on I texturized it wrong. Which made it look way better as a leather version, which is not intended to be. But instead of just start from scratch I started to experiment a little bit. But I will start… -
Re: Normal map baking | eat3d Fountain Workflow |
thats exactly why i wanted to take a look at this. when i followed the fountain dvd some time ago i didnt had to bad results too...but here and there the edges were not nice. i thought i might get better normalmap shading 1 smoothing group and without splitting UVs. @ bal: thx i looked through many threads and the wiki...… -
Re: Hand Painted Props, Advice Needed
The model is perfect! Its very lowpoly so you can implement it in iOS or Android running games. The texture is beautiful too, you have nica cartoon look of details, but 1. You may lowres it to 512 without noticable quality damage; if you making as low as possible polycount the texture size also can be valuable; 2. If you… -
Re: Mercenary WIP - Crits Welcome
@Joshfighter: Thanks, I'm not crazy about the way I did the hair myself. I've been messing with it and never seemed to get it just right. @Baj Singh: I'm not completely sure, but I think it was just unfortuatly placed wrincles in his shirt. After I made the normal map, he looked rounder, maybe it's just me. Thanks for the… -
Re: XNormal problems
The better result you are getting in 3DS is probably because you were using a Cage to bake it with and not one with xNormal. However looking at the lowpoly I would consider reworking that to more closely match the highpoly since even with the planets aligning you will still have problems with the bake simply due to there… -
Re: [WIP] Fantasy Crystal (Critique Please)
Thank you for your post @Sunray! I think I know what you mean. So you think, i have to redo the HighPoly and reconstruct the mid-/lowpoly to a more smoothe gem? Well I tryed the oposit. The stones are more round and soft and the crystal is more hard edged. At the moment, i try nothing to do with shaders. I want to release… -
Re: Question about normal map workflow
I would import all the pieces into maya/max and bake them out in one pass there. I often have models made up of many small pieces and I don't bother joining them together. If you're getting artifacts it's probably because of the way your lowpoly or cage is constructed. I know that's the usual reason why I get artifacts.… -
Re: Another Normal mapping issue *claps*
Do not mirror the flat planar shapes that you're getting issues on, instead remove the mirror edge down the middle, detach them from the main uv island and assing hard edges/smoothing groups to these areas. The problem is an unsynced workflow, if you were using a shader/baker that was synced it would render perfectly, but… -
Re: Papercraft!
Well I think one just needs a textured 3d model and Pepakura to unfold it in a paper friendly manner. Yet I don't think this program allows for cone and cylinder cuts like on the model Rebel posted. But It wouldn't be a big deal to built such parts straight in a 2d app... http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ Funny how… -
Re: Model HP into LP model or use LP as reference?
blockout simple mesh, this isnt a "lowpoly" as you're not going to do any optimization, uvs, cleanup, etc. You just want this done as fast as possible to get the proportions right. Then you use this as a reference, and either base your high on top of this or remodel with it in the background(often times it makes more sense…
