Re: Question about UV Layouts and Scale
So initial excitement may have been premature. The grid is good for avoiding stretching, but I'm finding it seems to encourage micro adjustments (huge time waster). Worse, positions that reduce stretching seem to not be the same from geometry piece to geometry piece. This means that textures that I make for one object dont… -
Re: Static Mesh Specular Highlight Problems, But Normals Seem Fine
Thanks, Vailias, but the problem doesn't appear to have anything to do with smoothing groups. I tried reseting the smoothing groups, using autosmooth, and even removing all smoothing, then importing, and the problem still shows up. I also tried converting the Max model to triangles, and that didn't get rid of the problem… -
Re: Glock 18
Hey Snader, I noticed a few of those when posting and mentioned that, however some of them I did not, and some of them aren't fixable the way you placed it, such as on the slidelock - which i moved away from the initial geo on the wire so you could see what I mean. I'm not happy with the inside of the reflective surface… -
Re: My art dump, crits please!
I think you would benefit more by studying muscle anatomy. Learn which muscles overlap each other and how the muscles flow. I would not do what AlphaMeow is suggesting. It might help with initial sizes and proportions but it will not help you learn fundamental anatomy. Always work from looking at reference images don't try… -
Re: Negative feedback
Jedi: You bring up a good point, and I can definitely understand that all people do not necessarily want critiques. It would be inappropriate to do so if you are posting in such a way that you made that clear from the start. That's actually why I said this in my initial post: Anyway, if you are posting in a showcase… -
Re: Ship Carrier
okay so i tried to overlap the UV's for faces thats gonna have non-unique textures applied to them and this is what i got: however i keep noticing whenever i do these AO bakes with overlapping uv's i get some shading artifacts in the overlapped areas. for example: these are probably minor enough where i can just paint the… -
Re: Steam Greenlight... Money where the Mouth is.
It's not Kickstarter. Ideally the games on Greenlight that make it to ale will be complete actual games that deserve to sell as much as any other. This system is just a different priority mechanic for Valve to initiate distribution. It doesn't really matter what gets voted since anybody is still in the same race if they… -
Re: M1911A1 - WWII Era
Textures are 1x 4k map for the gun and magazin, and 1x 2k on tthe catridge and shell. overkill for sure, but its only for the renders. And here is the uv map. The gun is built with VR in mind, so i kept a consistent texel density. There is some space left i could've utilized better tho and for scaling down to 2k, there… -
Re: Metaball Modeling
Yeah, I remember organica being the shizzle! 3D Coat voxels, Zbrush Zsketch, Sculptris, etc. these days we are a bit spoiled for choice in initial mesh creation methodologies, but in my experience nothing still beats Zbrush/Mudbox brute force sculpting or clean & precise SDS modeling. I've been evangelizing 3D Coat for a… -
Re: Epic Hacked
Fixed. (removed tinfoilhat) cf "Cyber Security Act", "Digital ID Act", "Real ID Act", "Open ID Act", "Patriot Act", Internet ID program, Internet Passport program/initiative and so on.. Not to mention that the Federal Government regards the Internet as a "critical infrastructure" so it can be 'protected' under the same…
