For another feature, add the same hardware accelerated ao baking that Topogun uses. It simulates a bowl object in the back ground. The user adjust the angle that the bowl/rays use to hit the baked obejcts and it gives a great result. Topoguns drawback is that it displays the high poly so that really bogs down comps.…
Hi guys! I've been having problems with UVing for a long time. I'm familiar with laying out UVs for custom models, hands, cars... But when it comes to primitives i feel fucked. Cubes, planes are my worst enemies. I've already written my question over t reddit, so i'll just post a link to it instead. To sum up, I have…
Hi all , it's a long time I didn't post some update of the project. So here we go ! I almost finish every objects and now I have to focus a really small objects and detail. Overall I'm pretty happy about the result ( I speaking about the objets and textures only) and now I have to make a HUGE focus on the lighting because…
You can drag and drop to the high and low slots (or any other position in the scene list). Drag to just below and slightly to the right of either, you'll see a little green highlight that shows you where the object will be dropped. If you have multiple objects/bake groups, you can use the quick loader with naming…
I feel the synthetic feel in games and 3D in general has two main causes: - Lack of technical capacity of engine (or performance and time constraints when authoring) Engines are very good at displaying an staggering amount of tris now, have better lighting solutions, high resolution textures and more. Yet as pointed out…
Hey, welcome to Polycount! How exactly was the normal map created? Was it baked from geometry, or converted from a bitmap? What software was used to make it? This looks like a tangent-space normal map, not an object-space map, so I would disregard any preview using object space. Looks like you are viewing this inside…
Been sitting on this for a while. It’s the Jetsons spacecraft that George is most often pictured with. I’ve looked at it for so long that I can’t objectively see which areas need to be changed, modified, or swapped out entirely. I’d also like to add a headlight to the front, but I really want to preserve the retro style. I…
IMO a group behaves as an object in 3d max while collection is just an attribute, a tag of a sort . One object may be in many collections at the same time . To have collections behave same way as a group in 3dmax you can use join geometry node in Blender . Or just output collection in geometry nodes , it would became a…
there are more reasons that could cause this error... mudbox is storing uv data also in the shader... if one shader is shared by multiple objets... he will try to load uv tiles also on object that dont have tiles cause the shader is telling him there is someting on those tiles... also the gigatexel engine is could cause…
@Gikkio Although there is some overlap in the basic art, observation, and problem solving skills required: concepting and subdivision modeling are different disciplines. While it may be possible to learn both at the same time it tends to be easier to focus on mastering each discipline separately. It's generally recommended…
