Re: Hard edges show in the normal map baked of a model in Zbrush 4R6 despite applying smoothing groups
Well, as said this is all probably because you are overcomplicating the baking process by using Zbrush for it. Now of course this might be fine in some cases (Z is said to be pretty good for displacement baking for instance), but if you are attempting to create clean game assets this is not going to work (for a variety of… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - AirRun
I'll try to break this down into parts as I see it: Build up - this holds promise when the chunks get pulled out of the ground but I think you're spawning too much dust, it's distracting. Release - The transition here is much too jarring in my opinion, you could smooth this out with an ease out curve but it might still… -
Re: Answered: Export Bug?
If the albedo color needs to change for the specific use-case you have in mind, you'll need to manually adjust it before exporting. DDO has no way of knowing the intention of the export, or whether you prefer having a specific color unless you instruct it to change the values before exporting. It's worth noting also that… -
Re: Anime/mmo style characters?
First off, good that you're posting your work, this'll help us narrow down where you're not hitting your target (that target being the characters at the top, I assume). I wouldn't start off with 'I don't think it's THAT bad', though, it's not the best way of thinking. Is it what you're going for, or isn't it? Now, whether… -
Re: Help on EZ topic. =)
@Vig: I didn't mirror the grass. The grass is just a single triangular shape made from 2d splines (converted to poly> bend modifier to 60 degree> collapse all) with a 2 sided green material applied. The grass object is then applied as a scatter object over the plane. When you add the light this black patch appears as the… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2017 (49)
Here are some progress screens, had fun making the house using "modular" pieces, now to figure out the roof. I was thinking that the roof tiles would be instanced meshes in unreal, is that a good idea? Been actually experimenting in unreal engine, testing the lightmaps, I'm getting seams and been reading up but I cant help… -
Re: The new expressway into the industry
There are alot've conflictying points of view in the thread, I figured I'd edit my post after reading it all. Every successful applicant has done 1 thing right: They have addressed a 'need' of the studio they are applying to and appeared to be able to fill that need. If you want to close the gap quickly between seeking a… -
Re: 3Ds Max Skin Question
Hi, it is quite robust. However there are exceptions, though deleting and attaching meshparts should work fine most of the time. The safest way to transfer the weighting in your case, would be to use the Skinwrap modifier or the Skin-utilities. With Skinwrap you can bind your new mesh to the old skinned one without needing… -
Re: Photogrammetry - Texture baking - was I doing it all WRONG :-)?
Zbrush uses "uv matching" method while Marmoset, Substance Painter, Xnormal, and other bakers uses ray tracing. This means that the smoothing of the lowpoly is taken into account when you bake using ray tracing, while the uv matching method ignores the target mesh smoothing and therefore its shading. This can result in… -
Re: Baking a Mess - xNormal/Baking workflow Help & Advice
Don't try and assess the quality of your normal map by applying it as a diffuse texture. Apply it as a normal map, as it should be, and check that it looks the way you want it. Your example where you say the big greenish patch at the edge of your blade (on the soft edge mesh) is ugly/wrong... that's actually how the normal…
