Re: Maya- Subdiv modeling, and is it useful?
The 3 key equivalent to a Mesh > Smooth operation with 2 divisions. This will result in actually smoothing your mesh which can be transferred to game engines. Generally, throwing some smoothing operations on your model doesn't result in very optmized meshes for games though; except in certain situations like race tracks,… -
Re: Geometry vs Textures (Alien Isolation Art Question; Use Which?)
You can use smoothing groups for areas where you don't want chamfers but you don't need to set them for the vertex normals. The modifier changes the normals around your chamfers automatically and it should preserve your smoothing groups. Just set the shading to sharp boundary with 1 round shade. And then do a chamfer by… -
Re: Simple Voxel Editor, feedback wanted
The smooth shade button is the wrong way round. when the light is on its off. the actual program is pretty cool. edit:actaully i could be wrong. it give the effect of being smoothed (softer shading) when its off. (voxel mode). i guess the actaul smooth mode is the polymode which seems to have harsher shading. meh anyways… -
Re: Toying around with normal map approaches
In theory, shouldn't a normalmap solve the crappy smoothshading you get with any of these version? I mean, some of them which are sharing same smoothing areas look crap due to the lack of polygons and extreme angles right? When these are compared to a highres perfectly smoothed version shouldn't the normal map neutralize… -
Re: Help needed: Folds/Wrinkles in Zbrush
I would post a reference image, but due to a lack of a good digital cam I have to use my mirror.As you can see, my wrinkles are...just horrible.I tried many things like Move Brush+Smooth, Clay+Smooth,Slash Brush+Smooth, but nothing works as intended :( PS: Shirtbase needs to be redone, it´s to short on the arms. -
Re: TF2 props WIP
I see you're keeping with the TF2 "style" of screwing up smoothing groups (seriously check the sentry turrets and the flamethrower as well, I believe. It drives me nuts.) Fix the smoothing groups on your toiletpaper holder to fix the weird shading issues on the top (make the backface a separate smoothing group or delete… -
Re: uneven normal map (swimming syndrome)
yeah MoP, its the tension at 0 thing - in the tesselate modifier you'll recall that it smooths the mesh, and the "tension" spinner is the one that controls the amount of smoothing, and at 0 it won't smooth it at all. I'm honestly not entirely sure how tesselating the low poly baking mesh will affect things, though. I guess… -
Re: Modo 801
OBJ is obsolete for actual game art as it only supports 1 UV channel. There's also the way Modo handles smoothing. It's terrible. I love Modo ... but the smoothing is terrible. Basically you have to forget everything that Max or Maya taught you about smoothing groups and learn the Modo way. Once you do, you're fine, but… -
Re: HK MP5
ok i will paste them but there might be a slight problem because i had just started knowing about TurboSmooth Tool after i had done the model and well some parts are all Smoothed out :( but i will remove the smooth from the ones i managed to leave Unsmoothed. Is there a way to Unsmooth the already Smoothed out Messes? -
Re: Speed Model Thread TIMELESS AND DATELESS FOR UNTIL THE END OF TIME
