Reducing Final Build File Size
I am currently in the optimization stage of my project and I am looking to reduce the final build file size. My question is regarding compressing texture files. I'm baking the majority of the world as static objects at a 40 textel resolution. For the static objects with baked lightmaps, is there any point to compressing… -
Re: First go at a complete character!
The arms are sticking out rather spaghetti-like. Where are the latissimus dorsii? The shoulder could also do with a bit more defined shape. Be it a sharp ride because of the stitching (see image) or more defined muscle (especially bringing in the shoulder and adding a dimple above the triceps) - it needs some slight vertex… -
Re: Stegosaurus Model WIP, Constructive Feedback Welcome
The legs appear to be stuck-on, rather than flowing from the body, making the hips and shoulders far too wide. You already have a decent top-view which shows the correct dimensions. You seem to have run into problems when tessellating the model, losing the definition of your base mesh. The plates - at least for this… -
Re: best too to paint over a model?
whats viewport canvas? Btw It turned out that the choppy results I had in mudbox where du to an overlapping seams in the uvmap ... I redid the uvmap and I could get seamless results , tough my problem with it is may be because I do not know the tool very well ... whenever I paint on the surface the fallof distance between… -
Re: [Maya] Problem with pivot, Component axis orientation mode
Here's a short video showing what I'm talking about. I have some issue getting audio to upload on youtube, but I think you'll get the idea. Problem with using the scale tool is that you'll have a little more trouble getting each frame to be the same size. Of course you can make things precise afterwards by grabbing the… -
Re: WIP – Chemical / Paint Waste Disposal Bin (Practice Prop)
@bhavya_rathore What you have is a good starting point. To complete the shape just run a bevel / chamfer operation on each side to round off the corners. Then, if the model needs to be subdivided, add the support loops around the base of the shape intersection. -
Non square texture workflow - Unwrap modifier options
Hey :) I'm working with a non square texture ( for some reasons, I have my trim + decals on 1 texture 2048*4096 ) However, each time I want to place a strip on my trim, I have to go in the modifier Unwrap UVW > select my texture in the list > go to the Options > specify 2048 * 4096 Is there a way to be faster ? Is there an… -
ZBrush to Substance FBX size problems
I may never know the answer to this, but I'm stubborn and can't step away from a mystery. I have a situation where I have a low poly mesh I've exported in fbx from Maya, and a high poly mesh I've fbx exported from ZBrush. The low poly was originally retopo'd in Topogun with an OBJ of the high poly from ZBrush as a… -
Re: Portfolio ass kicking time :)
Ditch the massive footer image. Not only is it 50k of useless information, it's a fixed size and it's massive (1203x171 pixels? What if you're looking at this site on a screen/window less than 1203 pixels across?) that's a big no-no in web development. Your site should be able to adapt fairly cleanly to any aspect ratio or… -
Re: Texture size and unwrap
Awesome help guys. Thought I'd throw in my knowledge on the subject too. Power of 2 images sizes in general is a good idea, though not really mandatory any more (with stipulations to older hardware, which you probably wont target anyway.) Square is debatable, but often a good rule to follow also. On today's hardware…
