Re: [WIP] Mavica FD71 - Floppy Disk camera
Splitting normals before baking is a good process. We have a bit about why this is important: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Modeling#Smoothing_Groups_.26_Hard_Edges Also some great examples here, along with info on why those extreme gradients are best to avoid… -
Re: Cammy - portfolio project
Spent most of most of my time today working on her boots and hands, also started adding some detail to her beret. I also fixed the length of her arms, I think I just messed up when I changed the pose, but either way it looks better now for sure. Here's a closeup of the boots: I was really unsure of how to go about them.… -
Re: ANSWERED: how to handle tiling repetition in masks?
thanks Eric, that makes sense - especially with mixing 2 textures the results are pretty good. Although I noticed I might have to replace all the textures as each element seems to get very repetitive (paint/metal/dirt/etc). It would be great if the smart materials would scale better in some future release. Maybe this is… -
Re: more of that 2D paintin' stuff
Hey, you definatly improved over your originals. I think my favorite is the spawn simply because of the dynamic pose, however I have a few crits on it. The foreshortening on his left hand looks good, better than his right hand, The right hand looks a little flat, I would imagine the hand in a fist to be more rounded and… -
Re: HighPoly To LowPoly Modeling
An admirable plan, I wish you luck getting this presented to the teacher (maybe try to give it as a presentation to the whole class if you can). In my experience it can be very hard to change things like this, especially when there's a curriculum that's been set and probably won't change for that school year. Here's a… -
Re: Reducing UV Waste Need Help
It's kind of hard tell how well you're using the space without a good look at the model. It would probably help to throw a checker pattern on it too. Preferably one that shows pixel density so you can see how well some of those ultra small pieces are going to fare. In general there looks to be a lot pieces that could… -
Re: My First...
Your cherry hath been popped! It certainly looks better than my first contrabutions to this board. If he's wearing pants, those better be spandex! it looks like you're modeling cowboy boots under those pants... perfect if you are lookin for that "brokeback mountain" kind of look, however I think perhaps making the pants… -
Re: Simple Rig Problem
Are you restricted by a game engine or can you do anything you want? It really depends on the motions and the animations needed. * Do the wheels need to roll realistically where the wheel rotation is driven by the forward/back motion of the main model? * Do you need the ground plane orientation to drive the overall… -
Re: Rigging: Maya IK/FK switch
I am not a rigging expert and I have animated a full character with just FK.Kinda helped me understand how every bone works.I now animate with a simple skeleton and ik handles for legs and hands,no contraints or control curves.Will probably add pole vector contraints for the legs and hands later but,my rig is quite… -
Re: Guess the band - 2007
I havn't even heard all the much from them, I just remembered the band name, and also remembered it was metal. Now here's mine, I don't know how hard it will be. I suppose they'd fall into the Indie/Neo-Folk genre, I dunno.
