Re: Forgotten Asylum
the walls yeah thats an on going issue, I did a tutorial on vertex texture painting in UDK thinking I paint plaster on bricks and you're right it does come off flat, although I thought I did a good job with my tileable bricks, even used a uv offest node for parallax mapping to make them pop out that bit more? Yeah I rushed… -
Re: UV unwrapping issue with Blender-xNormal workflow
I did the same thing you mentioned in your previous post. I beveled the edges by a small amount and applied smooth shading. I'm rendering it in UDK. It's for a Helm's Deep map that I'm working on. And instead of baking, I'm thinking of using some decals and vertex painting so that I can hide some details from the sharp… -
Re: Runestone Project
Here are the Texture Flats for the Runestone, its extremities and a blockout of the Presentation scene. Im working on an idle animation for the runestone. Ill post a video of that soon. My current plans for the scene: - Add glow effect to the stone (In progress) - add a runic Curcle under the stone proper via decal… -
Re: 70's - Future Gentlemen's Club {WIP}
Hey Aston, really nice start to this and also interesting idea for your project. One thing that stands out to me is that the stools/table aren't the right size when compared to the railings (looking at the 4th pic in your latest post). Kinda get the feeling that if someone was stood up next to those railings they would… -
Re: When the hell did you know?
Lots of things inspired me along the way - games, designers and artists. When I finally started messing around with modeling in '98 I was doing custom weapon models for (then beta 3) CounterStrike. My first model was a modified MP5. I had botched the bone/vertex assignments so the model was floating about 5ft in front of… -
Re: Strange lines on mesh when re-importing back to Max
Explicit Normals, as mentioned. Reimport your FBX again, and add an Edit Normals modifier... this will show you the vertex normals which have been "baked" into the FBX file. They were fixed in place on export, so they can't be rotated. Resetting the normals allows 3ds Max to rotate them freely again, so you can get smooth… -
Re: Environment Workflow
I actually figured out that if you just go to the vertex sub-object mode of the spline, click refine and add a vert in the corners it removes the tension almost completely with very little effort. Then you can weld or break the uv of the edge. But I am still looking for ways to make the lofts that were used in the DVD with… -
Re: max 2012 uv pelt vs peel?
They are all pinned down.If you pin a vertex in peel mode you can move it while the algorithm works in real time so to speak.Usually you only pin a couple and move em to straightem or make a part that was big smaller.I never ever used pelt, i mostly use peel or lscm but sometimes i still prefer relax :p but anyways, i… -
Re: A more efficient way to have holes in cubes?
If you don't need to actually be able to see through the holes, you can just use a height brush in Substance Painter, or similar in Photoshop. The way you did it is the way I'd do it, but at the end, after you've built everything else on the model, you can take all those long running edges and weld them off to the corners… -
Re: UV mapping question.
Yeah, EricChadwick makes a good point about MultiRes breaking geometry which was built to deform - I found a good way around this is to rig the original mesh first, then place it in a pose where the elbows and knees are bent, and THEN add a MultiRes modifier to the top of the stack. That should preserve the vertex weights…
