Can anyone tell me why my hair particles are growing out so thick? I am using a mesh that I retopologized for the purposes of easy animation and brought the number to 22,000 polys. This particular mesh is a duplicated emitter to be hidden for the fully rigged mesh. On the previous mesh the hair grew perfectly fine, which…

Hello there. I am trying to make lowpoly shield. It's my first sculpt of something like that and i have some problems with baking texture in xnormal. So this is my highpoly sculpt in ZBrush. Every part of model is saparated subtool. I tried to figure it out how to retopo it and have few types of retopo. version 1: Version…
The above image is a little thing I've been working on for a while. Now that I take a look at this monstrosity I've created this thing has no type of grace or consideration for good topology, especially on the arms. Now I'm wondering is it worth attempting to retopologize this mess or should I just start over form square…
in real life the plates would move similar to venetian blinds, but obviously in the current world of gaming it would take a huge amount of computer resources to have that so instead they are just fixed solid. although i've been donig 3d stuff and blender for 5 years now, most of what you wrote above makes no sense to me!…
Hello I made a tool which you can load your world mesh file and view it as a person walking in your world mesh. If you have played World of Warcraft or Second life, i basically made a tool which you can load your mesh as the world and you can pick characters to walk inside it. I am currently programming a game, and i…
My question is essentially, what's the difference in modeling (or the benefits?) of making a copy of a mesh when it is in vertex mode as opposed to object mode? So what's different if I select the vertices and make a copy as opposed to just selecting in object mode and make a copy and join? other than the extra steps I…
Thats a good point about Max users. They probably would be less considered than a Blender one simply due to studios not wanting to pay for a Max license if they have a Maya one already. I don't think Max has that much use in games anymore, not based on Artstation atleast given most professionals I see on there largely use…
Hi! i'm having issues with the normal map (i think). It's giving me these weird light artifacts when i import the textures into another software My workflow is: UVs in blender, then bake and texture in substance, then export textures and import them in blender this is how it looks in blender substance painter Also tried…
Welcome to Polycount (both of you!) I think your character concepts are great so far! One thing I always ask myself when reviewing concepts is... is this enough information for a 3D artist to reproduce the concept in 3D? And looking at your first couple character concepts, I'd say no. 3D artists need to see the character…
