Re: Texture layering-Photoshop
AO, ambient occlusion, when 2 object is place together, the space between them will receive less lighting since the 2 object is blocking out the in-direct light created by the environment. Baking it as a texture is to simulate the effect of that with a single image instead of calculating it in real time for game engine.… -
Re: Treasure Hunter Thief
Hey Alphavader, thanks for the feedback. I think because the normal smoothing is a little high on the skin shader in marmoset the face looks a lot smoother and the details were lost a bit. The look on her face was only for posing, the forehead wrinkles and angry glare were only for presentation purposes and I sharpened the… -
Re: [Unity] Portal Test Chamber Scene
Hey. To be honest, this didn't really helped as much as I thought it would. The panels themselves looks somewhat better though. Maybe you should add some trim pieces along the edges of floors/ceiling etc. More stairs, more levels to it, because it still looks very... lowpoly, last-last gen. I have two things to say about… -
Re: CAD software question
I would not recommend any CAD software for modelling game assets. It is like bike messenger asking if he could use Semi-trailer truck for work. Haven't played with Rhino for years, but I believe that you really cant edit polygons in Rhino. You can export your NURBS model as polygon model, but that wont give you good… -
Re: FF7 Character Modelling - New to modelling
I agree with $!nz It can help a good bit to finish up the typology as a base to bring into zbrush however it is not critical because zbrush does have good retopoing tools. That is if you enjoy using the modeling tools in the base program (Maya for you). If not you can just start directly in zbrush sculpt away and finish… -
Re: Raphael Medina - Portfolio Review
the website looks very nice tho Well a quick advice from me, use as many polys as you need to make objects look flawless. Same for texture resolution. You can always go down, and nobody cares about numbers, youre not helping anyone, so make round things round (etc) and pack away the unwanted edges. It looks like your… -
Re: Normal error or marmoset toolbag?
Hey I'm sorry I was about to make a new thread but I found this thread is about the exact same error I got I believe, hard edges in maya appeared breaking up with Xnormal's bake. EarthQuake could you elaborate on smoothing the cage in the xnormal's viewer? I've never used cage with xnormal, is smoothing the cage a option… -
Re: Shading artefacts only in Source engine (normal map related?)
Paul68Rageous: Sure, and thanks :)https://dl.dropbox.com/u/251256/Fasthawk/Fasthawk.zip If anyone else wants to take a look, feel free to do so. Farfare: I have just tried Handplane, not sure if I'm using it right but I get literally the same normal map. What I did: 1) Went back to 3dsmax and bake object space normal with… -
Re: Floating Polygons
When it comes to highpoly modeling, the more you can model as separate objects the better. Most things in life are created from various parts, so it makes logical sense to do this. When it comes to modeling lowpolys, sure you can save a few tris, but generally there are drawbacks such as: 1. You will waste more uvspace,… -
Re: Can I add verts to a model after baking a normal map?
If you want it to look correct then yes you will have to rebake. The bake accounts for the exact vertex normals of your mesh, so when you go in adding/removing verts you're changing the smoothing etc and break the normals map. Some times you can get away with this, say if you have a simple cylinder type object with hard…
