Re: 3 Week 'Normal Map' learning experience. Need your guys help.
Be careful with that though because in my testing from above on a 24 cylinder the small triangles on the edges caused some issues with soft normals. My 24 sided cylinder with softened normals got these shading artifacts along the sides of the cylinder. However if you make the caps of the cylinder hard and the body soft,… -
Re: [UDK] The Pit (Working Title)
Oniram - Thanks for your support! I really hope you like the DVD. The video should give you a pretty good basis for how to achieve the soft surface blend. If you experiment more with it, it's not too difficult to figure out a way to blend the entropy shader with the soft surface one. It just takes careful pre-planning in… -
Re: Massive noob question
Well, if you actually are a noob and don't know if your edges are soft or hard ... It looks like all of your edges are soft, but you want those corners to be hard. Try this. Select several of those edges you want to be sharp, shift-right-click on it and go Soften/Harden Edge -> Harden Edge Does that do anything for you? If… -
Re: Head UV Layout
Yeah, I know where you're coming from...sorry, next time I'll make it much more visible. It only highlights the ears, so I'd be surprised if that caused the whole head to crumble, but I'll fix that anyway. Okay, I'll use that. Could I get a little more info on this "soft selection?" I've used soft selection before, but… -
Re: 1970's TV & StillLife
I really like this project as I think your subject matter is really unique. I really hope you aren't finished though because some of your edges on the polymer pieces are too hard in places where they should be soft and too soft on places where they should be hard. Other than, that everything looks quite good and I look… -
Re: First post - Floor Textures
The catacombs one looks really well, but the painterly one has too big gaps between the stones, and the main thing is that theyre too soft. Avoid using soft brushes for contours. There is one stone, the 2nd top left, and the one below in the middle, those stand out because they are rather sharp compared to the rest, those… -
Re: Taiga First Encounter of Alien Ruins - Warcry Extermination - enviroment
The method you're using to sculpt rock is looking great, but only on a macro level - the soft noise isn't doing enough in my opinion to give it a natural look. The edges are extremely sharp - I would try to add some medium detail inbetween the large cracks and soft noise to chip away at some edges, make a few more dents,… -
Re: Seeking critique on an Overwatch style weapon I am modeling
you've got too many straight 90° angles and too sharp edges overall. on Overwatchj everything is nicely angled, or beveled to chunky 45° with soft edges to catch highlights nicely. Check out the overwatch high poly renders on artstation. -
Re: Maya tweak & connect tools
you dont need to hold down ~ to tweak. there is a toggle check box to turn on tweak mode. hold W + left click to check that. what you are asking for is best done in sculpting applications but you can somewhat mimic it by having soft selection("b" toggles soft selection) on and in face selection mode. also dont use face… -
Re: steampunkish professor (fatguy) WIP
I agree that you need to revisit your proportions. Can we get some close up shots of the mechanisms? The eyepiece you did had too soft edges, it looked more like playdoh than metal. The hardness of your bevels have a lot to say about what material it is. Large soft bevels look like plastic or clay, while really small and…
