Re: Cyberpunk 2077 CG Teaser is out
true but irrelevant to this discussion. are you talking from personal experience or just guessing ? unless you are talking about the actual 3d scanning technicians, the task of scan data cleanup basically involves these following steps in general: 1. scale, position and orient highpoly scan data to match production… -
Re: How to fail an art test, by EricV
Thats a shame man. But to be honest, i did this test too. I did make a highpoly, and all that jazz. Finished with time to spare. Mayb your workflow just isnt solid yet? I have no clue what your looking around at scripts for. I just used max (default) and photoshop. Had no probs. The poly budget was a little tight for my… -
Re: Sketchbook: Frank Polygon
Subdivision sketch: Hemispherical helmet. This is a brief look at a few basic strategies for routing topology around cut outs and panel lines on spherical [and ellipsoid] surfaces. Note: there's several different ways to structure spherical geometry. Since this write-up is specific to basic subdivision modeling only basic… -
Re: KA-52 Alligator Russian Attack Helicopter
I would highly recommend doing a blockout for something of this scale and complexity. I would aslo take beks advice on making a "Midpoly" or base mesh before full on highpoly as well. This way you can get your major shapes working together with very little geometry and if (when) things need to change/be adjusted, its a… -
T-34-85
Hi there everyone! New to the forum here, but I though I would share some of my work I just finished and maybe see what you all think. The project was to create a highpoly and low poly + textures WWII tank. Mine was T-34-85 and here are some renders: Highpoly: Unfortunately my PC was dying trying to render it with a… -
How do you make geometry text for normal map baking?
Hey guys! I faced with some annoying issue in 3ds max while making floaters for my highpoly. I use Text tool, then bevel it and apply chamfer modificator. If I do quiet large chamfer it starts to look ugly, when I do little it looks acceptable, BUT: after exporting it to Substance Painter to bake normal, or any other 3d… -
Creating Normalmap in Mudbox
Hey people, I have created a lowpoly character in Maya that I exported for Mudbox. I'm almost done with the highpoly version in Mudbox and I'm approaching the point where I want to create a normalmap. Here's my problem. I haven't UV-mapped the model yet. Is there any way for me to create a nice UV-map in Maya on my lowpoly… -
3dsmax Modeling Stones - Tutorial
hi, here is a new tutorial again about highpoly stones, but now we only use 3dsmax and no sculpting software. you will learn how to setup a fancy modeling rig only with modifiers and procedural maps. no plugins or stuff needed. once you setup this stuff you can produce endless variations of stones, only by changing the… -
Screws/screwholes normalmaps - minimizing work
On a recent weapon I'm making, the stage of screws and their holes came up. Originally, I used to model them straight on the highpoly (subd) model, but I find that very time consuming. Below is a solution I'm currently trying out, which ID Software used on doom3 to cut down production time. Basically you model the screw… -
Normal map baking - problem
Hi. I want to bake my normals for a weapon model. this is highpoly model: this is Lowpoly model: and this one is baked model preview with xoliul shader: (baked using xNormal) hard edge UVs are broken but as you can see I still have strange results. I don't know why this happens but I guess strange borders near element…
