Re: 3ds Max Scanline Baker Strange Ray Misses and Bright Normals
You went a little overboard with the splits but at least you have the basic idea down. I probably could have worded some things a little better in that video so people didn't take things this far. I made a paint over showing you some places you could stitch stuff together and still get good smoothing behavior in unreal.… -
Re: General Question about modeling simple props with many shapes
Thanks for the replies. A couple things: 1. EarthQuake: I wanted to clarify my original question above. I was just being nitpicky about something you said in the older thread, about one of the benefits of having a continuous lo-poly mesh being that you could have a continuous UV island, which is easier to paint. But, as I… -
Re: Best software for weight painting?
Since we're talking about weights, is there any *easy* way for maya to not totally botch flood-smoothing? Say I have a cylinder, and joints 1,2,3, like an arm. I lock 3 and try to smooth the boundary between 1 and 2, but maya will also put weights from 1 on the far side, into 3's territory. I guess I already know the… -
Re: Weird artefacts on normal map
Many thanks for the help... actually i dont care about the mesh... i was just curious what is causing my issue. Flatshaded means ? Or let me better ask how can i fix flatshaded geometry ? The whole mesh was set to one smoothing group, i noticed that the LP is looking different... not really smooth even it was set to one… -
Re: Wierd Problem With Mesh In UDK
I'm assuming your model was unwrapped in half. That center line could be unwelded verts or edges, also be sure to reapply a smoothing after merging both halves. Same for around the neck, make sure everything is welded and smoothed. I'm not certain, but I'd assume half your model was unwrapped and baked? Or maybe certain… -
Re: Check my normal artifact [Error dump]
Being "smoothed" the same doesn't mean much, the normals could be pointing in slightly different directions, the tangents etc could have been(and likely were) lost when you exported as obj and imported. Also in maya, I've noticed different mesh normals when doing "average normals" and "smooth normals" - again another… -
Re: First time poster. Looking for feedback on first low low poly model
Not a bad start at all. If the asset is just for practice don't be afraid to use more triangles, especially to get the silhouette right (not really saying you mesh is too lowpoly or anything though). The central piece seems to have a few smoothing errors. If you haven't, I'd suggest using different smoothing groups for… -
Re: Clockwork Gauntlet
tony did a real good job explaining the mechanics of the piece which is very critical. you want to make sure your model is functional so +1 to that! as far as the modeling itself, it looks like our having some smoothing errors because you didn't either re-inforce the edges right, or made the edges to far away... parts look… -
Re: First Person Police arms - Marmoset
lol no. The displacement map is a map of the height difference between the low and the high. Because the low is a lowpoly mesh, you're going to get gradiated artifacts in the displacement that represent the triangles in the low. This is a good thing, it tells the shader how much to displace. If you smooth it out, and then… -
Re: Mudbox is being an asshole!
In addition to all that's been said, what I would do (in zbrush mind, so I hope this workflow tranfers over to Mudbox): Store a morph-targer, smooth the absolute living shit out of the model (first at a lower subd level, then step up and smooth, step up smooth...) and morph everything but those two spots (where it…
