Re: Bad shading normal map
Looks like either a smoothing group issue or normal map sync issue. Messing with the geometry wont do much. There's different ways to fix it. You can either: 1. Add support loops to help control shading 2. Use custom normals to make flat areas have flat shading 3. Use a sync'd normal map workflow. -
Re: Broken Normals?
'Fairly flat' is quite different than flat with topology like this. Even a slight variation from planar can cause the shading issues you're seeing. Try selecting all the verts and scaling them to zero on the perpendicular axis to make sure it's planar. You'd also probably save time in the long run if you cleaned up the… -

Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Aight thank you very much for the answers. I have some details that i want to be affected by lighting, for example the cuts in the cloth in the mesh below. As you can see i applied a normal map on this mesh, but how do i now achieve this flat look that's characteristic for anime characters? I dont really get how both… -
Re: RIZOMUV HELP
I know how to unwrap at a basic level and know how to do it fluently with 3ds max but the issue im having is i dont know how to cut up those big hollow cirlces. Those 2 hollow circles is a flat area. I dont want a seam in the middle of a flat area that will be in front of the camera in a FPS game. -
Re: Chris Cunningham | Environment Artist
I echo what what the other guys have said so far. From a website standpoint, I'll add that the presentation is very inconsistent. You should show each prop or environment with beauty shots, wireframes and texture flats. At the moment some pieces have wireframes, there is one clay render-style image and no texture flats at… -
Re: Nausicaa Rifle
I need suggestions on how best to proceed with the strap. It seems to make sense to model it with a flat shape, since it's basically a ribbon. But how should I go about baking a normal map for this? How do I ue a flat peice of geo for a cage over somehting just slightly 3-D? what would you do? -
Re: Sketchbook: Meobyte
Thanks alot guys. I've baked all subtools separatly in xnormal, when I've added additional self ao pass of the lowpoly in 3ds Max. Texture looks flat becouse spec is flat and very slight like I guess it should be on cotton clothes. It is nothing special to say about texturing, it's basicly 2 colors + few overlays. -
Re: Need any feedback
I like your color palette and overall shapes. I feel like the flat pieces on the wall sections are a little too flat - there's not much there to draw the eye. Also, I think the grunge in your texture could do with some tweaking; it always pays to think about the story behind a surface, and what sort of wear its received. -
Re: Howl's Moving Castle: Living Room - Dallas McAtasney
This is an awesome concept to work on, man. I love that movie and that room, especially the vibrant colors and range of materials as you said. The only negative thing that catches my eye is the flatness of the pans on the left there. In the concept art, they seem to have more of an angle on the handle. But either way, they…
