Re: Is box-modeling a dying technique?
As an environment artist I mostly make hard surface objects - architecture, machines, etc I recently have started using a workflow where I will model in Maya and then export to zbrush to add detail. Some things - like making paneling - is easier in zbrush. But having a model you've made in maya makes it much easier to… -
Re: Marmoset Baking Cage Issues (With Solution)
That's a real shame. I'm surprised I can't find anything similar online, only stuff I could find is that people usually fix these cages by manually adjusting the lowpoly. I really don't like the thought of that, of adding geometry or modifying something purely for the purpose that it bakes right, and it won't be necessary… -
Re: Edge loop and general advice
It looks like a basemesh for sculpting, so it's not a finished lowpoly I guess? You would end up doing a retopology so I wouldn't bother with polishing it right now, just keep all more or less even quads and it should work. But if you plan to use this one as lowpoly you could get rid of some unnecessary loops. Good face… -
Re: JoeriV's sketchbook (3d)
that podracer is AMAZING!! I think you should definitely make a lowpoly for it and bake all of that eye candy. I am amazed that's your first assignment, very good job it looks like you have a very good understanding of making lowpoly meshes, you get rid of any unneeded polys by triangulating, keep up the awesome work can… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Bo Mathorne
your stuff is just lovely! i guess the mouth is just exchanged meshes in the animation, right? love it, its working really well, as for the lowpolies, i think in your pure diffuse textures you could improve a lot with a bit more colour variation in the highlights and shadows, just some tinting going on, its better in the… -
Re: Book of Unwritten Tales 2
@joebount: I haven't played 3 or 4 in a while, so unfortunately I can't remember which alley you are talking about, but as long as this remembers you about anything MI related I´m happy. :) @SH4DOWM4TIZ For the lowpolies we have two textures. One without the shadow casting lights and one with the additional light alone.… -
Re: Reset Model position/transformations?
I see, I skimmed over most of the documentation and when I saw bake groups I assumed that's how matching is handled. This still leaves the problem of duplicating models. If I were to export one fbx with all of my lowpoly meshes to be handled by the naming scheme, it would be very tedious to have to select every object I… -
Re: Old Sci-fi Gun
The unwrapping took less than half hour actually. I'm well versed with UVs now, and Modo is quite good on that front too, it speeds things up pretty nicely. I did retopo from scratch in fact, it took a couple of days or a little more in total (between learning the tools, since it was the first time using them, and… -
Re: 3D Game Character - Bake or not to Bake?
If you go the baking route, and assuming that you are using a realistic rendering style like what is done by default in all modern game engines, it means that the surface detail of the final asset will look just like that of your screenshot. Meaning that you will still have to put in a *lot* of work to get rid of the… -
GPU Baker | Curvature on edges is sometimes not detected at all + cavity is sometimes inverted
Hey there! First of all, congratulations on 2.0 release! The additions to the Suite are truly monumental and the performance is incredible! Unfortunately, I'm still having huge trouble with the most troublesome area from 1.8, though. Specifically, getting proper curvature out of hard-edged lowpoly objects with UV seams on…
