I'm designing on-ear headphones with the ports in the cylindrical base shape. I've tried to reduce the loop count, it was causing shading issues but unfortunately it continues to have shading problems. Does anyone have suggestions for handling this differently?
Hello! I am trying to create this shape: This is what I made so far: There are these shading errors (i guess?) beside the obvious pinching, how can i improve the topology?
If you use not any smooth shading on the surface and the area around the cylinder is not curved.. that should be fine.. ( maybe one additional support loop ad the 90 degree edges).. ..or: have a look at it with some light object.. see any difference.. ?
when you crease your meshes you have to work a bit differently from using classic support loops. poles on edges can easily shade poorly, you should always make sure of clean loops/rings on edges otherwise you have these spots jesus why are these images so huge? @@"Eric Chadwick" ^^
@sprunghunt hello thx for the answer but If I make the bake from a higher model it would be apper in the final shading(with the bake applied) I also try to fix manually the normlas with the modifier Edit Normals and I don´t have a good result, the gral target is to preserve the low vertex count with a good final shading in…
"is it bad" As long as the surface is flat (planar) bordered by control loops, ngons and/or triangles will usually cast no shading artifacts once subdivided or turbosmoothed. However personally as a game vehicle artist, I would fan the corners:
More I think about it more it seems to me not exactly subdivision question in general. I use Zbrush after all and it's all about subdivision. I meant rather all those extra loops people do for nice shading of subdivided meshes that ended up into in game models ( not subdivided models themselves). A special topology that…
