Re: Maya - Zbrush : FBX Import/Export consistently breaks random polygons into tris and splits vertices
Further info, after I imported the OBJ into zbrush without issues, I did nothing to the mesh, exported as an FBX from Zbrush, and then reimported. Everything A-okay after that. Not sure what that experiment tells me, but it seems I neutralized whatever was causing the issue. I'm crunching to get this model done today, but… -
Re: WIP - Courtyard
Looking good. Shep is spot on w/ it needing a bit of organics. Few other notes: - Ground is a bit bland at this point. - The inner arches have a very noticable paint peeling shape. I would make the texture more neutral and use something like decals to break up the repetition. Right now that chunk tiles a ton. - Pinkish… -
Re: GUI Console
First thing I noticed is how weak the normals are for the small details, especially for the greebles on the base of the model. If possible, I would go back and make those details more prominent on the high poly model and then rebake. Or you could always deepen the normals in photoshop by using some tricks such as… -
Re: What content do you want to see on the front page?
yes i agree. my bias is clearly shown in the second option. i realized as soon as i made it. but i couldnt edit the poll options? how do you do that? anyway, this poll wouldnt matter anyway. the other thread showed that you mods dont care about the front page, having no problem with a thread being put there only to be… -
Re: Why I Hate Demo Reels
Personally I think that model turnarounds can look pretty damn cool if the model is of great quality, but : • It is indeed pointless and counterproductive to ask students to make a reel. • Reels are not necessary. Again : they can be cool, but not NECESSARY. • Music will either not bother the viewer (neutral outcome) or… -
Re: Need help with Texturing an Object
ya the problem is you got no padding, i just opened both of those up in PS, and screened the UV layout over hte texture bake, and there is no padding at all. so what is happening is at all of your UV seams, the black background of the image is bleeding in a bit. i cant explain how to set padding for max, since im not a max… -
Re: female likeness
Heya Spitty! I immediately can tell who it is but I think some of the proportions are a bit off. More refs! Watch her in motion a lot, etc. Also, it could be the lack of any coloration, as that can really add heaps to a likeness. Also...a facial expression can help to sell a likeness. How often do we see these people with… -
Re: Politics and religion in a business response
Just because the majority believes it doesn't mean it's right...I pretty much think the same thing as blankslatejoe, It's not religion it's pretty much any belief being shoved in my face. Not exactly "offensive", i know what their intentions are...but shouldn't it be a little more neutral? "Thanks." works for me. I think… -
Re: Interceptor [WIP]
so here is the underside of the spacecraft. No progress with the texture so far, but this rendering is done with a neutral white-colored light. At the moment I'm trying to find a nice engine for presenting the stuff. Maya-Hardware isn't the best, as my graphics card refuses to produce some shadows. The x-normal-viewer also… -
Re: Need some lighting help
What are you modeling in? For lighting, a warm and cool light coming for the opposing back/sides and a more neutral light for the main body works good. Looks like you have some weirdness with seams between materials. As in, transition from pipe to face is an instant material switch. This occurs heavily on your model, such…
