topology good for animation?
Hi everyone! I in the process of converting a high rez mesh into a low rez one. So as i was modeling and baking the normals this is what i had: So i thought the normals looked a bit flat on the abs so as i decided to give it a little more geometry cause i still had some polys to spare. I came up with this: It looks much… -
Re: topology good for animation?
Yeah, poopipe knows what he's talking about, so I would listen to him for animation topology info. I don't rig very much. About the shader, there are many different shader methods in Max, some much better than others. Which version of max are you using? There is an option in DirectX viewport settings to control the texture… -

But now i tried it in the xnormal 3d viewer, and wow... it looks awsome.. But now i am not sure what this means... does it mean that my 3ds max shader isnt that great? or my 3ds… -

Doesn't make much sense to add these extra edgeloops, because you have a normal map which is doing this at a much higher detail level. If you feel the normal map isn't deep enough, then fix the highpoly sculpt and re-bake. I don't see why you're not using the normal map in your last shot. Also these extra edge loops don't… -

Speaking as somebody who rigs other people's models a lot I'd rather be given a torso that's basically nothing more than a slightly deformed cylinder than one where loops follow the musculature. Unless you're going for clever stuff like bulging or you're running muscle sims etc. it's just making my (the rigger's) life…
