Re: Stephanie's game props
I don't think your bakes are coming through well enough to do your excellent high poly models justice. I would spend some more time perfecting your low poly models and their uv layouts until you get some clean bakes that do them justice. Both the juke box and the bumper car deserve much better. Your lowpoly polygon… -
Re: Help with UV Unwraps and edge baking
That pinching along those edges are a classic case of hard edges without a break in the UVs. For optimal performance you want as much of your model in 1 UV shell, and as few hard edges as possible. A nice guide to learn this: -Keep everything in 1 UV shell as long as it doesn't create stretching. -Have no hard edges at… -
Re: How to approach baking clothes
I would say that your issues mostly come from thinking too much in terms of "how to bake this or that part". If you were to start thinking more about the actual model being worked on (ie the so-called "low" = the one that actually goes in the game), many of these issues will just solve themselves. Spend more time and… -
Strange artifact on normal map always appear in meshes with this shape.
Hi, while modeling some props for games I've encountered the same error 2 or 3 times, and I wanted to know how to solve it becouse it's very annoying and I don't understand why it happen. How should I model this kind of shape? I had to do it in 2 different models, and always gives me problems. While modeling all looks… -
WIP: Classic Doom shotgun, based on Mossberg (large images)
Hey there, some of you might have seen my WIPs posted in the WAYWO thread. Thought I'd post here, as I'm close to starting the lowpoly, but first I'd like to get any crits or feedback. I'm not planning to animate it, so as you see it here will be how it's modeled and baked as a lowpoly. Also, I want to make it something… -
Re: Trim Sheet question: mouldings and cornices
You can bake to a (tiling) lowpoly mesh matching the highpolys shape. Then construct your elements from that tiling mesh. This is probably along the lines of what sprunghut wrote. If you choose to bake trims to a plane, make sure the highpoly geometry reads well when projected (90 degree corners or overhangs won't show).… -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2024
Shit. You had some of the best lowpoly hands. Was trying to find those, but all the old pics are gone. /shrug We now host pics, so I guess that helps. Hmm. Great to see you nonetheless. Welcome back. -
tangent basis - normalmaps from xNormal to Ogre
Hi, I'm again hitting this topic and maybe someone of the shader coder can lead me into the right direction. I want to bake normal maps in xnormal which show up in ogre as nice as in the xnormal viewer. I would love to know how a typical and simple hlsl shader creates the tangent basis. And how xnormal does it compared to… -
Normal Map work with the low (and his several meshes), but after collapse all, it broke.
Hi all. I have a little problem with my meshes : -First of all I do my low, my high and I bake this on substance designer/painter. -After this I come back on 3dsmax and I duplicate the parts of the meshe who need to be duplicate(like the drawer) -Finally, I collapse all of the meshes (I tried without collapsed on 3dsmax… -
Re: I am lost with the topology
You are looking for an explanation of why topology is important. Here is some info about why. http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryTopology#Principles_of_Topology This tutorial has some good animated examples of lowpoly models. http://www.pig-brain.com/tutorials/tut02-01/ That's one of the links on the wiki page, there are a…
