Re: MAZDA RX8 _LO poly
Looking good so far. Overall, I think you may need to just step back, take a breather. I know the feeling of getting into the mode of pushing verts, and zooming in, and you can get lost a bit. Overall, id say my biggest critique is the areas you chose to disperse your poly count. Not including the wheels of course, things… -
Re: [MAXScript] Editable Poly vs Edit Poly
Hey miauu, if using those somehow it run both of the codes, so after bridge it then connect it and that's not what I really want; is either bridge (on open edges) or connect (on closed edges). Is it possible to achieve that? I did try to use array and compare both of these two;edgeSel = $.modifiers[#Edit_poly].GetSelection… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - Max Plugins
Is there a smart edge loop / edge ring script, that doesnt crash? (Select Start loop edge, select end loop edge, push button, the script selects the edges in between the selected edges) -
Re: Understanding cages when baking a normal map
for me, while sometimes i will bevel edges that need it, most of the times, any hard edged object will have only 1 edge in the game mesh, and typically if that edge has 2 faces at 90 degrees from one another, ill split the uvs. not using a cage on something like that would result in a nasty black seam going down the center… -
Re: Maya - XNormal - Handplane - Marmoset Toolbag 2 Workflow
So, its important to understand that you don't necessarily need to harden edges at your UV splits. But you absolutely must split your UVs along your hard edges. Giving your sharp angles hard edges will reduce the shading gradients and yield a better result on the normal map because the gradients won't be so extreme. Once… -
Re: SmartQuad in Max2011?
Ok you guys can give this a try http://bryancavett.com/maxscripts/smartQuad/smartQuad.ms Should show up under BCTools > smartQuad I don't have the edge row stuff working yet so its just one poly at a time right now. You can use it on a single corner vert, 2 open edges, or you can be a little sloppy and select some interior… -
Re: Maya ---> Zbrush
Yeah, if you use just the Delete key on edges, it leaves all the vertices behind at the intersection points. Ctrl + Delete will remove the intersecting vertices. You can try making a marquee selection through the center part of your model while in vertex selection mode to grab any stray points, then press Delete (not Ctrl… -
Re: My car thread - low to mid poly cars
so yeah it did work ok, the one subd level gives slightly less chunky effect. using weighted average for the edges did nt work too well as each edge has a slightly different weight ie averaged out - have to do it by angle+ making the required lines as hard edged - you get a nice clean panel line that way Also I make a… -
Re: Knife first person model
Hey. The knife looks good. However it needs some more work. As Lether said the edge of the blade needs to be brighter. Right now it feels blunt. Other than that it is too clean. It has edge wear but no sign of it every being used. No dirt, or dust, or even finger prints. You could say it is freshly washed, but even then… -
Re: Normal Map Errors in Max
Hi DocRob, if you have the time, could you try to create the Normalmap in Max8 and then render it with the Normal Bump ? That dents usually occur, when the Tangents/Binormals (or what ever they are called- I'm no programmer ) of the geometry while creating the Normalmap are different from those used at rendertime. E.G when…
