Re: Camera for textures?
For compacts with a nice zoom range the Panasonic Lumix's are nice cameras. The have quality Leica lenses, and sharpness is very consistent corner to corner. There's nothing worse than trying to make a seamless texture when the center of the image is sharp, while the corners are soft. For a smaller zoom range, but much… -
Re: Zoids: Geno Saurer WIP
ok guys little update, reinforcing lines SUCK took me a while to move them all around so ide get a halfway decent result. outside of the tooth is still messed up, so many lines going through that one place its making it a sharp edge rather than flowing from the top of the head down to the tip of the tooth. Might have to… -
Re: WIP Mauser C96
Accuracy wise, almost there. Quite good, but has some rough areas. Edges are too sharp in a lot of places. Zoom out, edges that start to alias badly will not transfer well on a bake. Rear sight is missing an aperture notch to actually aim through. Also the hinge hole on the frame looks like a deformed circle. Grip and the… -
Re: My art thread - AFsoft
You've got a lot of good stuff in here, I've enjoyed looking through it. One thing I have noticed though is that you do tend to have consistently sharp-edges in a lot your lowpoly models. I don't know if your bake quality just wasn't quite there or if you forgot to bake entirely, but I think that working to create smooth… -
Re: Seeking critique on an Overwatch style weapon I am modeling
you've got too many straight 90° angles and too sharp edges overall. on Overwatchj everything is nicely angled, or beveled to chunky 45° with soft edges to catch highlights nicely. Check out the overwatch high poly renders on artstation. -
Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros
True that, I haven't thought about it that way... I didn't know about the tennogen system! Seems cool, although I would reward the creator more than 30% of the sell share. I can only approve fostering new talents. You would need a player base willing to pay for it though. I know for exemple that sims players hate when… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: DDO Cavity Generation
Thanks! Unfortunately I can confirm that the [sharp] layer does NOT match DDO's own result when reloaded as an input map. Nor with quality curvature enabled or disabled. I noticed that the [sharp] layer from DDO however closely matches the curvature result from NDO. Which leads me to think that DDO uses the same method to… -
Re: Swizzle's thread of stuff and things
Eraserhead: I wasn't sure when I started if the welds would read as well as I was hoping, so I'm glad they work. rasmus: That's partly my fault and partly Modo's. Modo doesn't do smoothing groups, so the only ways to get sharp edges are to use a material that affects every edge on the model depending on how sharp it is or… -
Re: Loops vs Grid
Really good advice here. To further illustrate Eric's point: pure quad grid topology does tend to have a relatively consistent and dense geometry distribution. Which might not require support loops but can make it difficult to edit the basic shapes and control the edge sharpness. Most base meshes can be simplified by using… -
Maya not smoothing edge in preview.
I have a weird issue. Maya won't smooth an edge that should be rounding due to a lack of supporting geo. It just keeps a sharp edge no matter what. The faces are connected and merged so it's not an issue of separated faces. I tried converting it instead of just looking at preview and the same thing happens. That edge just…
