Baking normals in Modo: what could be the cause of those artifacts?
I'm a beginner with Modo so maybe I'm making some very basic mistake, since I was unable to find any mentions of a similar issue on Google. I'm trying to follow this very basic normal baking tutorial involving use of a single lowpoly mesh to bake normals. No high poly geometry, no cages, nothing special:… -
max NEXT gen Slow issue?
hey I dont know if anyone has ran into this issue but ive ran into it every time I build a mesh extremly high poly and I get to the low poly fazes where im building aroudn that mesh where my file gets so big/ huge that Hitting CTRL + Z takes 5 minutes a time, and since your building the low poly you know thats a trial and… -
Retopologizing help
Hey there, I'm a Environment Art student and I made an account to ask this but.. What's the optimal way to retopologize basic assets? I'm fairly confident in my skills in sculpting, modelling, unwrapping etc. But I'm always pretty fuzzy on how to retopologize well. It's generally the step where the quality of my assets… -
google street view UK, enviro reference?
Hey I heard as of today that most of the uk is now on google street view. This could make pretty cool environment art reference material? or is that not legal? for example heres my local town hall and library… -
UE3 Materials: Is this kind of Translucent Material Possible?
Hi guys, I am moderately experienced with UDK's material editor but I have no idea how to "program" a very particular feature into my material... I'd like to create something very similar to DepthBiasedAlpha, but with a twist: I want the material's opacity to change depending on the Z-axis depth to the surface beneath it,… -
Re: Creating a very specific type of rock...
I'd probably do a derivative of option #2 (see image) But I'd do up 6 or so fully detailed (not just face) sections like I've colorized in all the differing heights. I'd lean towards doing it in 3d-Coat as voxels just so I could use the retopo tools, but you could just keep them as hipoly .obj's as well in either Mud or Z… -
Re: UV Coordinates in Shaders
It should be fairly obvious by the naming... It takes the world position of the vertices - where they are relative to (0,0,0) in the scene. World position is useful here because it means it's consistent no matter how the mesh is moved, rotated or scaled. Then divides it by 500 (to scale the result up a bit - so that in the… -
Re: Lazy Nezumi Pro - mouse and pen smoothing in PhotoShop and other apps!
Not sure about the whole "draw the different axis on the cube" thing.. seems like it would be really hard to get something precise out of it. If you guys want to try the new measure points: http://lazynezumi.com/downloads/LazyNezumiPro_14_7_30_1501_Setup.exe Use the new "perspective" distortion mode to get them. I will add… -
Re: More then one Lerp blend Shader possible?
Well I tried doing a Normalized World position plugged into my Dot product but this isnt giving the result I would expect. It blends the snow effect based on the height of the model, not its pole position/Zup direction. It seems no matter what I try it is always basing the way it blends off the Z height. So if its above… -
Re: This hydrant look familiar to anyone? :P
Ohhh, that kinda X... lol gotcha, I was thinking like... that the planes would somehow make an x shape or something and I was just like I don't understand...? And yeah, I tried to bringing the piece I was working on into Max at a low geometry level, and it managed it alright. But yes, my computer really does needs lots…
