Baking round, hard edges with blender's multiresolution modifier
In blender when baking with a multiresolution modifier from this highpoly: The baked normal-map on the low-poly looks like this when using "Bake from multires": These are the UV seams: I thought it had to do with UV seams first, but it's unable to bake round edges anywhere at all, anywhere on the model. I noticed that… -
Metroid: Dark Suit
This one is a project I made for fun! I wanted to take my modeling further and practice transitioning the topology from hard-surface, to smooth-surface on the same mesh. It was challenging but well worth it! -
Re: Weathered Stop Sign (critique)
Thank you for the detailed feedback. I'll consider various material properties while texturing and designing wear in the future. The part about surface distortion in the areas where the sign is riveted on is a great little detail. -
Re: High poly to Low poly bake
yeah i did that already, i just wanted to see how far I can go with high-low poly surfaces -

DX11 Image Based Reflection Problems
I'm working on an interior scene to play with some DX11 features. I'm running into a problem where surfaces that are parallel to the reflection source have a strange radial specular reflection pattern. The reflection source is on the left. Surfaces perpendicular to the source look fine. Surfaces parallel to the source are… -
Zbrush Question - Curve Problem
Alright I have another question regarding the curve mode function of insert brushes. Is there a way to draw out a curve straight out of a surface? Kinda in the direction of the surface normals? Because currently it just draws it along the surface and that's hella annoying! Here's a picture showing what I mean: -
Maya: combining polygon surfaces
I need to find a fast, automatic method for combining 2 polygon surfaces. The idea would be similar to a Boolean, but on more of a 2D scale. Please take a look at the image "quad-transition1.jpg". The highlighted ring is a quad strip drawn with the new modeling toolkit. I want to combine this with the surrounding surface,… -
Which program to use for hard surfaces?
Hello everyone, Should I use Blender or Zbrush to go about hard surface modeling? I've heard the new Zbrush 4R2 has gotten a few more tools for hard surfaces. Can anybody speak from experience working on hard surfaces starting in Zbrush? I will eventually be switching from Blender to 3d Studio Max once I have enough money.… -
Did the Surface Pro just get awesome?
In the last few days Wacom (they make the pen for the Surface Pro) released a driver update to add full preasure sensitivity to the Surface Pro. Combine this with the Surface Pro's ability to run Windows applications things suddenly become more interesting... Surface Pro WinTab driver Review…
