Re: The Monthly CHARACTER Challenge | October 2014 | the Soothsayer
Of course i dont mind :) i smooth by tapping and i do it often, dont be afraid to smooth out areas and re-sculpt on top, i think thats what gives it a more natural look imo. so in general (and this is depending of course what phase of the sculpt im in) i sculpt the abs very harshly on a lower subdivision, maybe sub 2 or… -
Re: Sketchbook: Daniel Strickland
Day 24: Let the Smoothing Begin! Starting with the biggest and baddest, the handguard and upper receiver have been dynameshed and polished. I also have started reducing the complex piece of the retractable stock. Yesterday I spent trying to figure out the smoothing process. I tried 3D Coat, didn't like how high I had to… -
Re: Distortion in Corona Renderer
Looks like a smoothing problem on the mesh. Have you tried applying a smooth modifier or clearing the smoothing groups in editable poly? Or it could also be a uvw map problem. Apply an unwrap modifier and check the seems for texture padding issue. -
Re: Edges - when to normal map them?
Ok so, "normal mapping edges" isn't really a "Thing" lets get that out of the way first. You don't "normal map" just one area of your model, you bake a normal map from a highpoly to a lowpoly model. "Normal map" isn't a verb. I believe you're referring to either beveling/chamfering edges or using smoothing groups to denote… -
Futuristic Pistol
Hello again Polycount! Project Summary: For this project I will be creating a sci fi weapon based on a concept to add to my portfolio. This project is intended to help improve my modeling, high poly modelling workflow and texturing skill. Special thanks to Blazej Kaczmarek (Blaizoid) for giving his consent to use his… -
Re: Expert in a year - 3D artist
Hello, great start on your vehicle, first of all, I won't recommend using the smooth tool because when modeling a vehicle you are going for a specific surface shape and the smooth tool is quite random when it comes to the way it smooths, it does smooth your surface but it will make it lose its volume, in order to get a… -
Re: Space Marine Dreadnought
There are quite a few tricks you could use to do something like that. One option is to use turbo smooth, and tick "smoothing groups". this will create a hard edge there (if you set separate smoothing groups, then add another turbosmooth ontop without smoothing groups ticked and it will smooth nicely. Alternatively you… -

Re: 3ds max : caping scan 3d holes
I daisy chained some commands together into a script that MIGHT help with automate the manual process a bit. It isn't anything too complex and there might be better, more advanced ways to generate the needed topology but this should get close to the same results you're getting manually. When executed it does the following:… -
Re: [WIP] Radio-biologist (3D Game Character) Help me push this to the finish line
Coming along nicely! I think your cloth is overall a bit too smooth/soft. For one thing in regards to the silhouette (compare the transition from the gloves ot the sleeve for example or the overall silhouette of the arm) but also the general shapes or the impact of seams. You also seem to have changed some of the seam…
