Re: Low Poly Lettering
It is so painful to use the text tool in Maya lol. I can't begin to guess why it hasn't been upgraded since so many versions ago. There's definitely no magic trick though, but you'll sweat for it ahah I usually get the text I need as a polysurface, get into edge mode and select all the edges of a letter and delete them.… -
Re: can pior or someone elaborate on this technique?
Yeah, polyboost beats this hands-down. But if you don't wanna shell out, pior's method is do-able, just time-consuming. He's extruding edges, not planes. It does make planes, but instead of snapping those he's really moving the edge that he's pulling out, snapping that onto the highpoly faces as he moves it. You have to… -
Re: Anyone switched from ZBrush to Blender?
yeah the uv sync used to bother me a bit, but i manage fine with it now. for example I just turn it off most of the time, select the subobject and work on that particular subobject. For example say I am uv mapping a hoody, once I have established the seams, I can use 'select linked all' and select by seams, uvs, normals… -
Whats new in 3dcoat textura vs 3dcoatv4?
I hate Substance Painter . Need to paint seamlessly across multiple unique and tillable materials having different from factor . Like a tilable asphalt 2kx2k , a few narrow stripes 64x2k painted lines, and roadside edges both V tilable following the base mesh flow and a local unique cut in a complex crossroad . Plus a… -
Re: Cloth folds topology help
yea don't forget about auto retopo tools that are out there, especially for less edge/silhouette critical pieces. I forget these exist sometimes as well, they can be a good starting point to fine tune -
Re: Strange baked normal artifacts. Need help figuring out how to fix it.
@rememba_da_name Lots of good advice so far so try working through each issue. There's a few different types of normal baking errors showing up so I tried to replicate all of them on this shape. Isolating each issue and working through it will help determine what's going to be the best strategies(s) for the issues with… -
Re: Division inspired character WIP - Linda Fyen
Progress is looking good :) ! There's some areas that need to get a look at. The folds of the pants doesn't read as realistic everywhere. On some place it's looking really good and others it's looking quite strange. E.g. By the boots. Found a reference that good work for the pants/boots that will hopefully explain what I… -
Re: Decal technique from Star Citizen
660 polys on the decal mesh, 1600 polys on chamfered surface (same vertex count as with hard-edged unchamfered version as it's just using face weighted normals with one smoothing group). Most of the surface polycount is down to nicely shaped seams between material IDs, - the less you need those (e.g. if you don't need seam… -
Re: Derelict Hotel (UE4 room)
@Aionard It took me a little under a week of experimenting, tweaking and trying out different possibilities to figure it out, I am a lot happier with this method over what I had been doing previously. Now that it is figured out I think it is giving better results over my previous methods and is less work as a bonus. It is… -
Re: The good ol' baking question
Firstly, there's this rule "All of your sharp edges are always UV seams, but not all of your UV seams need to be sharp edges.". So, whenever you use a sharp edge, which is usually a continuous loop to break the shading, you UV unwrap it to its own UV island with a decent padding between other UV islands. In general, you…
