Curvature Map Issues
Hi guys, So I'm working with an extremely easy model, a metal pipe. I'm trying to create a curvature map to then use in Substance Painter. The map I generated was done so in xNormal. It works well but they're a few problems. I've marked every image with the two problems.Mark 1 - The bigger issue, why are some parts in… -
How to unwrap a curved pipe?
This is the model: I use maya. I'm curious about what the best practice is for unwrapping cylindrical objects with a curve in them. I have been told I should gridify everything non organic. But I notice when I do this on a cylindrical curve I get distortion in the map. Below are some examples of options I have tried (with… -
Re: Hallway [finished] - Critique appreciated
Some details that you could add: - sprinklerheads - smoke detectors - electrical receptacles (every 30 feet at 1 foot to center abover floor) - shutoff valve on the flanged pipes - speakers or fire alarm bell - fire extinguisher on wall - straps every 3 feet to attach cables to wall, look like they are glued to wall now -… -

Re: Normal maps hate me - please help
Thanks a bunch guys. I just got it to bake in xnormal with an exploded mesh. I then tried it in max, and it bakes the exploded mesh fine. But if I turn the bake by material ID option, it breaks again... It seems somewhere along the line ALL of my material IDs got wiped. Not sure how. Perhaps when attaching meshes.… -

Re: Portfolio Feedback
I think you could really benefit from more observation of life. Using your water tower as an example, the wooden beams would have to be attached by large nails or screws, which are not present in your model. Additionally, how would one get water from the tower? there's no piping, valves, or even a ladder to show how… -

Re: Armadillo Robot- Advice Wanted
Well, this thread, unlike my other projects, is much more experimental. Quite frankly, it's pretty damn complex and therefore going to be quite a long term project, revised and re-revised and so on (well, aren't all projects the same?). Expect this thread to die and be reborn many many times, lol. In my concept art, I was…
