Re: Some work from hobbyst.
Ok, guys, I finish my work on this model. Still I have few graphics problem on that model with smoothing, but I cal it's done. Maybe this bugs came from Topogun, which I used to retopology HP mesh, 'cause when I applied Smooth modifier in Max, nothing happened. Even when I'm editing smooth groups by poligons, it's doesn't… -
Re: [UDK] Arcadia Moon Colony: Military Maintenance Bay
Just a question about baking with floaters as I usually never use that method: Some floaters seem to be very far off the actual surface (like the bolt indents on the top edge); how do you manage to bake those floaters? This is assuming you use a cage that, from my personal understanding, should be really really close to… -
Re: Feedback [Website Porfolio] AndrewChason.com, and presenting Assets
yeah, some progs use Y- and some others Y+, its a common problem ;) To make your normals look not like Rainbow, you must adjust your smoothing groups, or at least change the angle of them to something like 60º or 80º, play with the values till you get smooth enough results, the more grey flat tone your low poly is, the… -
Re: Sky Hub
Looks like a normal smoothing problem. Check your smooth groups or your normal angles to make sure edges are hard where they need to be (the edges that border other modules) and soft where you want them to be. What it's doing is trying to "wrap" that light around some normals you have marked as smooth and that's the best… -
Re: UDK problem with normal maps
When importing the model, in the latest version of UDK, there should a Pop-Up Box that asks something about smooth groups set to average (don't recall exactly) or one. It could be that, or export with one smoothing group set to Auto. (Sorry, don't know what the term is called in Maya, but in Max, it's called Smoothing… -
Re: 3ds max 2017 viewport issue
"Viewport issue"... :) You know that at the end of the day every ngon or any amount of sided polygon is a triangle. Apply smooth, enable autosmooth, and set the threshold to 0 and you should get this in any max version, or in the most of the modeling applications, when there is no smoothing, unless they do something that… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 6
I'm having a bit of an issue with my Normal bakes and smoothing groups, hopefully somebody here can help me. Before I projected the bake, I made the low poly all 1 smoothing group, I had 3 polygons in the low poly to increase the overall quality of the bake in hopes that I could just remove the edge loops later. however… -
Re: Bloated Normals ?
First off, are you using a cage? Setting that up will help with your warp in your bake. So there are no smoothing groups at all right? You didn't set up any? Your map, like you mentioned definitely suggest that its not reading those edges as hard. If you don't have smooth groups...set those up and maybe Xnormal will read… -
Re: Workshop # 1- alexl
AFAIK in max, turbo/mesh are just different methods for the same thing, i think one may be faster than the other. Silly legacy max stuff? There are atleast 3 ways to turn on sub-d in max, so i dont really know if any of them have real differences visually. Maya has like 3 was to turn on sub-d too, smooth preview, mesh ->… -
Re: Adobe Photoshop feedback
Photoshop already has a brush smoothing option (look for the checkbox in the brush palette) -- but it's designed to smooth in realtime, not lagtime like ZBrush. Of course, that lag allows ZBrush to do a lot more aggressive smoothing (essentially defining a spline then stroking it as you go). I've added that to the wish…
