Re: Gobelin/Alien Head [ Need advice plz ]
I think you've got some pretty skewed polygon densities. The head mesh seems to be well over 5000 triangles, maybe 7500 even. But I can see the polygons on his necklace and fingertips, and his feet end in a point - no toe geometry whatsoever. -
Re: Mountain Cottage WIP
Could you post a wireframe of the terrain please? It seams like the polygons in those mountains are really stretched and that would not be good for sculpting(zbrush loves square polygons). I think you should do the terrain directly in zbrush , starting from a plane. Hope this was helpful. -
Re: Can't get translucency to work correctly!
The issue is that your entire model is transparent. So the whole thing's going to have sorting issues. You'll want to make an opaque (i.e. no alpha channel) version of the material and apply that to the polygons without transparency. And apply the transparent texture you made only to the polygons with transparency. -
Re: [Topogun] How do I utilize this tool more effectively?
Personally i switched to Maya quad draw as my retopo tool, because further development of topogun is probably dead. But whatever software you use try to draw as few polygons as possible and then add edge loops, don`t draw every single polygon. -
Re: edit mesh in max vs highpoly
Pior: The "Polygon Counter" utility can count either tris or quads, although admittedly that does mean you have to go and open a little window with it in... I wonder if you could link that to a hotkey, like Shift+P to bring up the correct polygon count... -
Re: I want your bodies
Polygon Cruncher for Max. My trial ran out so I couldn't bring it back to max for the render. It does a much better job than Multires IMO. Check out the nice tesselation on the hose. This is at about 10% of the original polycount. Polygon Cruncher page -
Re: Modular models with soft edge technique, double edge vs adjust normals?
The double edge method not only gives more polygons, but also more thin triangles, but its easy to work with. The single chamfer with edited normals gives less polygons, less thin triangles, and better silhouette because you actually round the corner. That being said, it is indeed harder to work with. -
Re: 3D max texture projection technique
Well you're absolutely being completely snotty. maybe if you see the model and see the polygons on the mesh you'll see that it's not very "basic" question. the polygon distribution on the mesh is not very "clean" it is not my model, it's a USP-S model provided by Valve publicly for the steam workshop artists to make… -
poly > subd convert problem
I use Maya 7.0 Whenever I do poly > subd convert, and then I undo the process, there are always those extra frame marks left on the polygon mesh. They are not real vertex and edges, but they just stays on the polygon surface and I just can't get rid off them. Anyone know how to fix this problem? -
Modo and making holes in curved surface.
In Max you have to select polygons->face constraint->loop regularizer script->profit. In Modo...Select polygons->perfectcircle script or radial align->WTF? Without face constraints result is messy. This tip is legit, but too many clicks and actions. And this. Same. Is there any other (fast and simple) way to make holes in…
