Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
As the whole model is more complex, I prefer using cage. Or should i try raycast method for whole weapon. So here are pictures of shading problems in max, should i separate things in smoothing groups better and split UVs there? Polycount for weapon + addons is already 12k, so I don't want to put a lot more polys there. And… -
Re: How to cut inside a mesh? (Picture)
im not exactly sure if i understood your question right, but it seems very simple to me: take a cylinder and put the 3d cursor exactly in the center of it (select all vertices of one loop of the cylinder and hit shift-s, cursor to selected) then select all vertices of the cylinder and hit e for extrude and click with the… -
Re: Working with symmetry on non-symmetrical mesh - 3DSMax?
Thanks for the quick reply Leechdemon. I cant post pictures unfortunately, but the non symmetrical areas are fairly minor (hairstyles, addons such as jewellery etc). The reason I dont want to have to delete half the model and use symmetry/ mirror, or have multiple instancfes of the object is the characters are already… -
Re: [Windows 7] System keeps 'microstuttering'
I hope that solves your issue. I also have a 4870 and Win7x64 and I get occasional stutters. It's really only noticeable when I'm going through the file system of a drive that I haven't accessed for a while, although sometimes FF locks up for several seconds as well (buut I have like 30 memory hogging addons). I've never… -
Re: Why don't big film studios just use Blender?
with all the money invested into pipeline development, i expect the license cost for maya will be pretty insignificant to a medium or big studio and that's assuming they get only the regular deal - seems unlikely to me for starters. the other major reason is that it's the standard so it's rather well understood, the tools… -
Re: Firefox color management
I use the color management app: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6891 and using for adjusting brightness. "Along the top of the strips are alternate patches of black and dark grey. If it looks solid black to you (look very carefully), your monitor's brightness setting is too low. Increase it until you can… -
[Tutorial] Model Pattern on any Surface (Blender + TexTools)
i couldn't find any Tutorial on how to model pattern on surfaces, so i had to figure it out. i guess @renderhjs intention with this function in textools was something like this, so thank you mate ;) for this you will need blender with the textools addon, i haven't tried it in max, since i don't have a license for it… -
Re: Portfolio feedback and general advice
Yeah get your hands dirty :+1: Maybe start with smaller scoped projects to get better at texturing. Something like a prop or a bust to get used to it, then apply the learnings to more complex subjects (well, I suppose a bust can already be quite complex). Rigify addon in blender (and Art tool during Maya times) helped me a… -
Re: Maya Vs Blender - Unwrapping
For organic shapes, the Bonus Tools addon has a nice auto unfold that works similar to the blender workflow (set seams then unfold while projecting). Nightshade UV is a great addition too many features to mention, check that out if they'll allow it where you work. One of my favorites from this will straighten shells, like… -
Re: [ Portfolio ] Joris Hoogeboom
StJoris, You've got some nice looking work up there. I like the simplicity of your site, I'm planning to do something similar with my own site once I get around to updating it. You were wondering about typeface issues well here's what happened to me. I'm running firefox with the noscript addon which blocks javascript…
