you can start with anymesh you want.. the point of the tutorial is not making a normal map for a realtime model.. its getting a mesh into max to bake normal maps off of.. so after the tutorial you go an make a low poly model and use the model from zbrush to bake with..the results will exactly the same as bringing in the…
i am really liking zbrushs ability to detail meshes.. i find it faster than using photoshop and less of a pain in the ass to go back and forth between photoshop and engine or back to max to see if your overlay setting are right.in zbrush you know EXACTLY what the final normal map is going to look like and painting pores…
I didn't watch the tutorial, sorry for my laziness. Guess I misinterpreted rockstar's post to indicate that you were using zbursh for generating final normal maps. I'll give your vid a watch, thanks.
i'll make it. I personally prefer the old version where u didn't have to restart the app to render another piece, so I could basically batch it all, I made a tutorial for my coworkers, but that was for the old version I'll post it online.
Thanks for sharing that tutorial arshlevon. I didn't know about the flipping of the green channel, it doesn't say in the Zbrush practical guide. And that orc looks really cool. Did you model it from scratch in Zb or did u do the base mesh in Max first?
Arsh: Good stuff, I downloaded it, but the codec quality really isn't good enough, I think... mr_Rockstar: Any chance you could do a tutorial on using Melody with Max? I tried the latest version and it just totally refused to render a normal-map, I'm pretty sure I did everything right!
Awesome tutorial man. I think the compression is fine, I could see everything you clicked. One quick thing. Instead of bumping up your normal from 1.0 to 1.8, you should have first made the bump map 100%, as the default is 30, and you left it like that. So it was only giving you 30% which is why you had to bump it up. I…
you should really try media player classic.. it is media player 6.4 only upgraded to work on all current formats.. you can even download a plugin to view realplayer files..also playes dvds really good.. and there is nothing to install.. its just an exe…
arshlevon, try out these settings and see if they work: video: 25fps, keyframe every 400frames, better compression audio: interleave every 1 sec, PCM (data rate as low as possible depending on how much quality you wanna compromise) Under Capture settings: toggle on/off disable hardware acceleration during capture.
