Re: PixaFlux - PBR Texture Composer - Open Beta Testing
Yeah, the OBJ format supports only two types of hard/soft edges, directly through vertex normals, and through smoothing groups. As far as I know, hard/soft edges are converted by the exporter to vertex normals, and from how the model looks in FBX Review, the vertex normals were exported correctly, and we should see… -
Re: Guedin's sketchbook
try to keep your hair all vertical flowing and enable soft alpha test :) alpha test is better with picking up shadows/lighting and transparency sorting and looks smooth when you enable the soft alpha test. the problem it introduces is a directional blur (hence the all elements vertical) but you can also create a flowmap… -
Re: "next-gen" eyes
That part isn't done yet, but had some spare time to mock it up. I am going to be using a 2nd layer and actually texturing it better, so I can have anisotropy, and a higher texture resolution than the underlying texture. And it's not 1 bit alpha, for whatever reason when using Xoliuls shader on my machine, soft alpha still… -
Re: [UE4] Modular Garage
Hi all, The constant back and fourth of adding edge loops to HP, going back about 3 meters to see how the edge looks, zooming in again and making changes is all really counter productive for me. Does anyone have a solution to make the process faster and more consistent? Like I know how soft I want x edge to be but since… -
Re: Zbrush / Marmoset display normal issue
Zbrush doesn't have a concept of soft normals unless you export as an fbx in 4r7. Your bake was most likely done with soft normals on the low poly, and that mesh has hard normals, giving you the error (or its the other way around) either way the normals of your lvl 0 mesh/game mesh/bake mesh need to all be the same for… -
Re: The "ultimate trim" technique from Sunset Overdrive
@Mant1kore You'll get this soft shading unless you edit the vertex normals: I think it's best to use both methods as called for. Think of something like a metal or wooden bridge, made of a lot of planks or girders - using bevels on all those edges will add a lot of triangles and it will be more work involved to correct the… -
Re: Smooth Groups in Maya
Yeah I much prefer Maya's Soft/Hard edges to Max's Smoothing Groups... Smooth Groups just seem to overcomplicate things, and mean you have to keep track of which ones are assigned to which polys... so silly. You can get a MaxScript which basically does the same as Maya (by obfuscating the whole smooth groups thing so you… -

Re: Baking problem (or understanding-problem?)
The baking is mostly for adding an illusion of extra small details . Like those dents on the edges . If you hope to make low res silhouettes look less angular it works only in certain cases and will work only within certain view sector . Will have "waves" from another point of view. In your case you could transfer…
