Re: Some questions about low & high poly game prop development
You seem a bit confused here, first off for organic modeling(characters etc) the standard workflow isnt model lowpoly then high, its: A. Model clean evenly spaced quad based cage mesh for sculpting B. Sculpt/Model high C. Retopo for low D. UV low and bake For hard surface/props a similar workflow is usually used: A.… -
Re: xNormal never works for me!
Yeah like has been said it takes a bit to iron out all the kinks until it becomes a routine. I use Zbrush, 3dmax and xnormal. I never worry about the viewer because I am only interested in the maps. Some stuff that might help. Most of it you are doing already. Export your finished high poly out of Zbrush as an obj, if you… -
Re: New Here
Hello there Shelby, I really like your thread so far for some reason.. if you stay consistent, this could be a nice thread to watch over a few months or more. Most people do not document every step they do from the very first models, so, please keep going. My main advice would be to decide if you want to go with Only… -
Re: Which one is the best....
Okah here's my take on it (modelers perspective only) To begin with I don't agree at all with "a polygon is just a polygon". Take a quad, extrude it, you get a nice straight cube right? Now imagine having to do the same, but only having controls on the individual verts, with no snapping, no move along normals, nothing.… -
Re: Warzone HDR sniper fabric
Thats right, you don't need to make the full shape as highpoly. You can make the tileable textures in various ways. You could model a small part of the net in a flat shape as highpoly and bake it to a plane to get a tiling texture, or you could make it in Substance Designer for example. Then you just put it on the lowpoly,… -
Re: Advice on modelling [3DS Max]
Hey guys, I am planning to do some textures, using substance designer. Hovewer how do I create bended part like this one ? 1. I was wondering, mybe highpoly would do - but in general, I am not good at highpoly modelling, so I would rather avoid that if there are other options. Secondly, its a part of a big wall, therefore… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | June 2014 | Techno Vikings
@DonEngland maybe, mesh is still quite messy ) @Mr.Moose Oh no, I`m very oldschool so I prefer to model in Max. I usually make highpoly "base" in ZBrush, proportions and stuff, maybe some design even, and then I make new model with clean topology and sculpt highpoly. It`s just a pipeline that I`m comfortable with. I do… -
Re: .
So it is not high res enough for a polypaint ? And still im not sure why you need a highres uv'ed version to make your diffuse texture just to rebake it back on the lowres. You will even loose quality because of subsampling during the baking process. I would just paint on the lowres and use masks like cavity based to sort… -
Re: Maya LT
That's different. Those are lowpoly, realtime, game models. In production you make highpoly models and then bake those into normal maps to be used on the ingame lowpolies. It's kind of like saying that an allen key and screwdriver are all that's needed to build IKEA furniture. A lot of equipment and factorywork comes… -
Re: G56 concept assault rifle + accompanying video series
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It puts smiles on my face. Part two is up, covering most of the highpoly conversion! [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oon_2Op2Tc"]Weapon Creation Demo: G56 - 02 - Highpoly - YouTube[/ame] I'll be making the modular pieces as long as I don't run out of energy. I'm going to be…
