Re: Efficient uv mapping
What I imagine happened is that they modeled one template character first -- such as the human male -- then UV'd and textured that, and subsequently created the other characters by modifying the original model, UVs and textures. Only the heads look to be (more or less) separately modeled and textured, but the rest looks… -
Re: Opinion(s) on buying New laptops
James! A few questions. Where did you get that little stand thingie? I need one for my cheapo tabletPC, and yours seems perfect! Also I see you have some sort of volume control on the left. Can this thing hold keyboard shortcuts and modifier keys? I have a Nulook for this purpose but it's way to heavy to carry around, and… -
Re: German Wehrmacht BMW R71 WIP
Hey Darkleopard, you are right about the scale of the box-- I will be rechecking a few bits of the bike here and there along the way, but good eye... and yes, the front wheel is already modeled-- I have the turbo smooth modifier turned off for all the pieces tho.. I just have the low res cylinder over top of it as a place… -
Re: BobM'S Workshop
I found the equivalent in Blender : The split edge modifier. Looks a lot better now. I just need to find a way to fix these normal map seams and i'm good to go for texturing :) Thank you again all for all your help ! edit : I'll probably do another Workshop topic when my workflow and methods are OK to have a clean topic… -
Re: Static Mesh Specular Highlight Problems, But Normals Seem Fine
the lightmapping has nothing to do with specular, unless you bake the spec in (what you should never do). the problem here clearly are the normals. first check your mesh for open edges and overlapping vertecies via X-view. then apply the edit normals modifier, select all normals, and click "reset to default". if the… -
Re: Abnormalities in normal/AO map
Told you the cage mistakes are obvious. Before doing any serious bakes you should do quick 3ds max bakes for projection errors. Also hit Export in your projection modifier to see how your cages look. See? Cage here clearly doesn't cover the highpoly properly. Test bake in 3ds Max. All your mistakes are clearly visible here. -
Re: Better for 3d character modeling? 3ds or Maya?
For tools i´ve tried Maya and Max and i prefer max because has more "shortcut modeling tools" aka modifiers. But i guess you will have to try both to see which one you like the most. Sculpting, Zbrush. And if you want to be a character designer, i really suggest learning human anatomy, Fashion, fashion history and etc, to… -
Re: Textools V4.10 and the Render to Texture
I can reproduce the exact same problem with 3ds max 2012 and textools. Ugly fix i managed to find is this: -in rtt window under mapping coordinates, tick Use Automatic Unwrap -now you can bake your model again (with wrong uv's) -delete Automatic Flatten UV's modifier from your lowpoly -tick Use Existing Channel again and… -
Re: Stacked UV Shells and Normal Maps
The offset by U/V method carries a couple other benefits as well: Works in any app Works exported to Xnormal etc(haven't actually tested this, so may work fine from max exported with modified W) Easy to see that you've already offset it Of course, the big draw back is if you need to edit your layout, you've gotta move it… -
Re: Sketchbook: Assassin0323
Suburbbum, Thank you so much I have been looking for a while, I will update you for the credit. Thank you very much for getting back to me. Your concept inspired me to make a spear concept I am hoping to get it done sometime this week. I may modify the texture a little bit, but we will see how it goes haha. Thanks again!!!…
