Re: Modelling Maya- Having trouble making a dome
Yeah I start off with a CV curve that only has 5 points and move those about. I rebuild and smooth it to make sure its... smooth. Later i turn it into polygons so I can use boolean. I'm not so good with nurbs. The way I see it is its got to hit these three points and still remain a smooth dome. -the top of the dome in the… -
Re: Ambient Occlusion Tutorial?!?
does anyone know why this might be happening? Im getting AO maps that look all faceted. I have tried with zero smoothing groups, 1 smoothing groups and many smoothing groups. I cant seem to get a smooth result from RTT like if I simply render it out with F12. Using max 9, render to texture, I dont have a hi poly object, i… -
Re: Duke Nukem Pistol
Wow, thanks very much! That is great of you to go to the trouble of doing all that. It is much appreciated! I think my biggest problem was that I just couldn't get my head around how the smoothing groups work. All my previous models have been either low poly Quake 3 style stuff where you had to zealously shave every poly… -
Re: Baking from ZBrush .obj vs .fbx
@floon I never decimate my meshes, unless it's a character going into Marvelous Designer. To speed up simulation performance. But for baking I go with the original high poly model to get best possible baking results. Also, I always use .obj for baking. I haven't encountered shading problems when getting an .OBJ (yes,… -

Re: How can I model this object
@MRALO Welcome to Polycount. Consider checking out the forum information and introduction thread. The object has a lot of repetitive surface features so try breaking it down into mirrorable or tileable segments. Working on a small portion of the mesh and copying it to create the rest of the shapes tends to be more… -
(Noob) Shading issues in Blender (or Substance, i don't really know)
I wanted to bake a high poly model onto a low poly model. Texturing wasn't a problem, but now i don't understand why a problem arises when i export the textures on Blender. Here is the issue I think that this is caused by shading the model smooth. Below is a picture of the model without textures. Those defects are the… -
Re: 3DS Max Questions (from a noob)
Okay, so the 2 light to 1 light thing in conjunction with smoothing groups seemed to fix my weird shadow oddities. Onto my latest question: What's the best way to import 3Ds Max low poly models into Zbrush? Is there a way to make zbrush recognize the Smoothing groups so you can sub divide without screwing up the model? The… -
Re: Baked normals in different engines.
I was slowing typing out a response here to everyone that offered advice when I stumbled on the issue: unreal doesn't take the material into account when lighting! I thought I had checked this issue when I viewed the 'lighting only' mode (as posted in that large image above) but it turns out that mode isn't just the… -
Re: New to Zbrush and messed up the lips, help?
Easiest way would actually be select the edge rings and delete them, then extrude new ones. Sometimes going back a couple of steps is faster than fixing it. Another way would be to select the last edge ring, press 'b' in Maya and keep the soft selection close to not affect too many rings at the same time, then just use the…
