Re: Understanding cages when baking a normal map
Yeah so there are basically a few different methods right: 1. Use averaged normals on your entire mesh, no hard edges or custom edited normals. Using a cage or not has no bearing on your baked result(unless you manually edit your cage, which works differently per app, hand editing the cage/envelope in Maya for instance… -
Re: School is sucking the life out of me
Im gonna break it down to you so its easy to digest in 5 easy steps: Step 1. You obviously dig 3D modeling and characters, stick to it like glue. Step 2. Get new job, the one you have now comes in conflict with step 3. Step 3. If you are only going to school to keep your job, and you hate school then quit and devote all… -
Re: 2 Maya2009 Unlim questions

Re: Low to High / High to Low ???
My workflow for hard surface stuff is usually: 1.Model High Poly 2. Model Low Poly - Clone high poly mesh and remove excess loops, add bevels/adjust geometry in preparation for baking. 3. Unwrap low poly 4. Bake Maps For Characters it usually goes like this: 1. Base mesh in Max 2. Sculpt Base Mesh in ZBrush 3. Export… -

It is required only if the object is an Editable Poly, the Editable Mesh doesn't call it. [html]function getPolyFromMeshFace theEditablePoly iMeshFace = ( local iResultPoly = 0 if (… -

Re: 3ds Max, V-Ray, rendering cubemap = seams?
Update on this problem. Obscura thanks for the idea, but doesn't work in my case. The GI is being calculated independently for each face, which creates seams along the edges. Also, since I need to output six separate bitmaps, baking won't work because it makes 1 image. What I've tried so far: 1. Rendering from six cameras.…
