THRONE ROOM- SUNKEN TOWER- Oreoorbitz
Hallo, I'm going to enter this competion, I shall use zbrush for most of the modeling and try to use Designer and painter for the texturing, I'll render it in marmoset becuase its the only engine i know how to use. the basic idea is a giant castle tower sunken through the ground, where only the highest part, the throne… -
Re: Texturing modular assets efficiently while retaining quality
That just means map them all into the same texture That set of assets is perfectly suited to being grouped together, there's lots of repeating elements and they're all conveniently box shaped. To work out your UV layout, make a box around each cupboard, unwrap the boxes, set your texel density, lay out the resultant UVs -… -
Re: What Does a Good UV Map Look Like?
We could start to compile a list of rules. But there are always exceptions. It usually comes down to experience. First I try to split the model along likely seams, and Relax/Pelt those. If there's still distortion, I'll cut a few more seams. If there are peninsulas sticking out that make packing difficult, I'll cut those… -
Re: Break in the UV is causing a slight visual flaw
It's bad practice to put a UV seam here. In addition to problems like you're seeing here (which you can probably solve), you may have mip-mapping issues in game. As the asset mip-maps or at lower texture quality settings, you may see a visible seam. As others have mentioned, go with a non 1:1 aspect ratio for the UV… -
Re: [Maya] How to go from A-stance to T-stance (for HumanIK rigging)
Thx @pior, a lot of good points in your reply. I have the same thought. I was more worried about not knowing 3D modelling, so I started with basemesh. (Also I was a bit reluctant to just hand that job to someone else, without me knowing the details.) True, I aim to do that. Yeah I should totally do that. (I have used… -
Re: Tips on building light substances
- Try to work in greyscale the most as possible (avoid greyscale -> color and color-> grayscale - Use the standard blend mode - For alpha blending: use the opacity input of the blend node (instead of injected the alpha in the foreground) - If the UV layout is composed of multiple parts (face, eyes, whatever), generate each… -
Re: I'm just getting into 3d and I'm trying to make a thing with proper topology.
So I started trying to cut the UV for the shell around the natural contours of the mesh and thought I was doing an alright job separating them into sensible pieces, but I'm not so sure that's true after seeing the result. It's not exactly distorted, but the cuts look very bad, I don't know if that's gonna be a problem. The… -
Re: Sekoran's DOTA2 Workshop
Well, failed to post again. One month or so down the line and I've finished it, so here are some progress pictures at least! Final highpoly sculpt. Per normal I should have spent more time in zbrush detailing the upper parts of the leafs in addition to some more general detailing, turned out that I spent a lot of my… -
Re: [Maya Plugin] Auto Round-Edge Normal Maps
Baking one object to another is the same conceptually as it is for any traditional high-low workflow. The only difference here would be that you can construct your highpoly as a relatively simple mesh with the bevel edge shader, with different edge widths for different parts (set per object or per material, uniform edge… -
Re: Modular Brick Building
For learning use and modeling of modular pieces i think it's great. But it would be sooo simple for you to break this up to your own layout, own camera angel, own style (still bricks and broken windows), own texture style and so on. This will sting an employer in the eye who have seen the tutorial, or just the presentation…
