Re: 3d Coat retopolgy resize issue
thats wierd, is it way off or pretty close to the original? Ive had it slightly off when using symmetry retopo in 3dc -
Re: Why so blue?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression btw for normalmaps dxt1 is rather sucky quality, best quality is a swizzled dxt5. (and ofc 3dc) -
Re: Wouldn't it be sweet if Zbrush5...
My thoughts : Subtool grouping similar to PS layer grouping functionality. A texturing system similar to Mudbox or 3DC that works based per pixel rather than on poly distribution. -
Re: baking normal maps on a mac?
Yeah but 3dc's AO baking isn't very good. Using maya 2011 for osx myself. Really like this release so far. -
Re: Sprite art or thingd made in ms paint go here.
i didn't make my own avatar, i found it here, and it was made by some one named doglife, http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...6lr%3D%26sa%3DG -
Re: Blender Mega Thread
Totally. the surface tools were a step in the right direction. I still find it better than 3D Coat sometimes for retopo work. I cant believe theres no smoothed preview in 3dc. -
Re: 3D Coat Problem
Make sure your mesh is 100% true in the middle (reset XForm, pivot, etc) and set in the middle of the world. 3DC doesn't like it when a mesh is slightly bent on one angle or direction. -
Re: Is it possible to bake Normal Map information into an Ambient Occlusion map?
That trick (packing AO into blue) doesn't work with a lot of the best normal map compression formats (DXn, 3Dc, etc_ - because they toss the blue, store R & G at higher precision and reconstruct. -
Re: Substance Designer - Master Thread
Why would you use 16 bit TGA for normal ? When it is imported to engine it get squashed to two 8-bit channels (3dc) anyway. -
Re: DXT5-NM Red and Blue Contradictions.
it's probably simpler to use 3DC and halve the texture size - I've done this and it works pretty well for mechanical objects that have normals with lots of smooth transitions.
