Re: [WIP] [Environment] Fliegerhorst Quakenbrück
This seems like a great idea, I love the info bubbles on sketchfab that let you know what the buildings are. Are you aiming to make it look like miniature buildings or actual realistic buildings? If you were making it in UE4 you'd want to make the grass texture tiling with a multi-material setup and vertex painting but I… -
Re: A question about retopology, high poly characters and low poly ones...
Try not to place small, rigid details in a high deformation area if possible, as you said. A separate button might create a different set of problems such as leaving an AO spot behind as the knee bends, or clipping through the parent mesh. This is usually much worse on very low poly models. On denser models you're much… -
Re: I'm beginner, please help.
You can bake vertex colors with Marmoset Toolbag, if that hasn't been mentioned already. In addition to what's been mentioned about making your hi-poly object a cache for viewport performance, if you are working with Maya quad draw I recommend periodically breaking your new geometry off into separate objects -- for me this… -
Re: Maya 2016 - Pivot snap alignment doesn't work anymore?
I noticed that too, they added a lot of cool stuff for editing the pivot but I couldn't figure out a way to do this either, it doesn't work with vertex snapping on a single axis either. I just added this to the Maya "Small Annoying Things" feedback site, so maybe it gets changed at some point.… -
Re: Smoothing group amount
I think you misunderstood what they said, or they're simply blowing smoke up your ass. A smoothing group has absolutely no direct corelation to performance. Its hard edges/split vertexes that are important(and as noted above, if these hard edges are on uv borders, which they should be for normal bakes anyway, there is no… -
Re: how to make lava in 3d?
Thanks guys Eric i was thinking to create my environment from hi to low poly , but is a lot of work, retopo maps etc... so i'm thinking to make my environment only hi poly with zbrush and vertex color to save time, i have some 3d low poly works but i also want to add some hi poly works in my portfolio. So if there is a… -
Re: Female Character study
I agree with Dave Jr and I would like to add some things. A female face has very subtle features, make them too strong and you'll end up with some kind of weird effeminated guy. My advice would be, go down some subdivision level and delete the higher ones. When I make female faces 80% of the work is done at low subdivision… -
Re: Tips for baking bevel onto hard edges?
Thx @Neox, @Obscura, and @pior So I suck it up and made two version of the same low poly: one with hard edges and one with chamfer approach. One with normal baking and one without. And indeed, if I am extra careful with straighten my UV (create more shells), then they look pretty much the same. Thing is, although I would… -
Re: Vector Displacement maps in UDK(.float files)
Norman3D used vertex colors to get vector displacement into UDK, http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1472523#post1472523 , but it sounds like you still want a baitmap instead. I know the Landscape tool can import RAW files from Photoshop, so maybe .RAW will work? I used 16 bit RAW for the heightmaps... * To… -
Re: The order 1886 style bust progress (UE4)
@Sunray Good choice with UE4! As it´s much more complex than Toolbag you can add as many inputs/blends/detail maps(i think), For me without knowing "nothing" your head mesh looks better in ue4. Good tutorials...Unreal in youtube as a good example, they cover almost everything from basic to some intermediate things, as wel…
