Is it possible to bake hard edges or selected edges somehow in Maya, Mental Ray, V-Ray or anything ? I want a baked image with stated edges white and all other black background.
Hey everyone. Some time ago i saw a technique to bake a 45 degree bevel on a normal trimsheet to fake the illusion of a bevel on a mesh with a hard edge. Im running into something similar, just that in this case i need to put a Edge wear which i made and put it on a mesh that has a weighted normal. So far i have mixed…
Hi, i have recently got back into 3d modelling, how would i go about fixing the topology of these booleaned cylindrical columns, i want to keep the edges of the columns so the maintain their shape, would i have to add extra edge loops? curious as to suggestions or whether the problem is in how i went about modelling them…
Topogun and Knald results Topogun and the cube with hard edges gave some problematic output. Knald textures have an Alpha on top which hides the edge padding/dilation.
Hey there :) I have that mesh in maya: notice the creased edges on the outer edges, i added them to get a smoother look while maintain the hard edges there when subdividing: because WITHOUT that crease subdiv would look like that: so i export that with creases as FBX: and import it into maya: the "creased" edge is now…
Its kind of a solution, but this is more for overlapping edges, whereas im after edges that are very close together. or within a certain distance. Thanks for the help tho. This is a pretty useful modifier.
In order to prevent artifacts and distortion in normal mapping sharp angled edges, should I bevel the edges, or use smoothing groups? Which is a better method in considering the model will be used for a game? Currently Im modeling a wing with sharp leading and trailing edges, and with soft edges only I get horrible…
Does anyone have any decent resources for managing edges (edge loops) while adding detail and tieing objects together? Where is it appropriate and how would you go about collapsing multiple edges into a singular edge (generally causes triangles)? Should you hide those triangles in crevases? Or should you be looking to…
Hi someone told me that It is impossible to select any random edge if we are in edge mode i.e we have to select that edge manually we cannot do it through script. see the screenshot I want to select that edge. Any command to do that? SEE THE ATTACHMENT
In 3dsmax you can use Edit Tris, to manually adjust edges of the triangles withing polygons. Is there a way to automate (unify) the edge alignment/orientation? I have tried out Zbrush Align Edge. it helps somewhat but does not align all edges in one direction. Is there maybe a 3dsmax script, or a tool to align the edges…
