Re: Surveillance Drone [WIP]
Thanks, much appreciated. Yeah, modeling in C4D is kind of okay for the most part, but I keep having trouble with vertex normals and smaller things like aligning points on an angular plane, but it's actually really fast to model in when you learn how to deal with some of the quirks it has. I've yet to come across a way to… -
Re: How to convert SketchUp's Triangles to Quads?
Hello Makan subdividing the low poly increases it's vertex count and contradicts the high poly to low poly work-flow. Triangulating the low poly before you bake effectively locks the normals of the low poly, so in the game engine you are ruling out "normal errors". All game engines use triangulation and that is why it's… -
Re: Polypaint Problem in Zbrush 4
Nothing to do with UV's, you don't need UV's for polypaint. Bake all in ZB = collapse the vertex color infromation to the polies. It's simple actually, just create another layer (empty one) and either delete it or stop the Recording of it and collapse it. You have to remember that ZBrush is actively working with the layers… -
Re: Help with textuing basics
I think it looks pretty good, however as these textures doesn't stretch to the borders it would be harder to use it for anything practical. It might also be worth considering that for an engine like UDK you'd make the plaster with a shader (using vertex paint) as that would make it a lot less obvious that the texture were… -
Re: Polycount vs Vertcount vs Textureres and Drawcalls
Oh, forgot to say you can also tile with an atlas. It's just a bit more difficult, and it increases the vertex count of the model. You can add edges to your model, then split and overlap the UVs. For example, make a roof as a plane that has 4 quads, then map each quad to the same part of the atlas. If that part is painted… -
Re: [UE4] Warrior Scene Collaboration
Thanks for the feedback :) . Yes you're absolutely right. I'll take care of it with the next update. Actually I wanna work on a more complex shader where I can paint all that stuff in with vertex colors, instead of only doing it with masks, that was more of a late night test :D . Thats how the main shot looks atm btw: Does… -
Re: My Journey To Be a 3D Artist !
It doesn't look like it tiles perfectly as you seem to have a duplicate row right at the edge. I also thin the color variation on the individual stones are too strong and the transition needs to be a lot smoother as well. The bigger color variation with different colored bricks is good, but if you were to tile this 20… -
Re: BobM'S Workshop
Everything i found indicates that split edge is the Blender equivalent for smoothing groups on Max. That puzzles me. Are you sure smoothing groups don't also augment the vertex count when in the engine? I'll take another look. @Mohsen & Heboltz3 I'm really struggling at making it look like actual clothes. My attemps so far… -
Re: Fn2000
Ya I am, I detached and exported most of the pieces one at a time and then reassembled it all in photoshop, but i didnt try actually moving them to a different location. I tried doing it without exploding it and it was a nightmare, plus it wouldn't let me use a cage. Once I broke it up the cage worked fine for all the… -
Re: Ground Cover Foliage Lighting
Most likely it is normals that are causing this problem. Having normals that point upwards makes sense for grass, but for plants like these, it will remove any shading such mesh might have. I would reset the normals to their default state. Once you do that, if your shading looks too strong or too contrasting, then the…
