Re: Retopologizing multiple Meshes
Just model a box, and be sure while baking that your cage envelope the HP entirely. In the example you posted, there's no trick. It's a frontal projection, there's no parallax. Now of course if you want the fan spinning, it's an other story. -
Re: Retopologizing multiple Meshes
Yeah, well, AO, bit of lighting, could help to give a better deepness feeling over the normal map alone. In the example, i would have put a bit of grid shadow on the fan for instance. Still, depends of what you want to achieve. Also i'm not sure a more detailed model is better for a portfolio. Models are still pretty higly… -
Re: Retopologizing multiple Meshes
Right on, very solid responses Bartalon and Noors. I really appreciate you both taking the time sharing your thoughts. It's certainly supposed to be a portfolio piece so I may end up modeling the fan and dip behind the fan and the grate separate but I certainly see your point Noors with the example provided, I tested a… -
Re: Retopologizing multiple Meshes
A different approach would be to separate just the grate in front of the fan and bake that separately on a beveled plane. The bevel will help sell some of the depth and it's a cheap way to allow the object to have a little more radius before the normal map is no longer believable. This thread -…
