Re: League of Legends Blademistress Morgana WIP thread

Speficically this: http://www.twitch.tv/senng/b/336773870 @6:15 when you select the vertices and flatten them acodring the curvature of the surface, Which Tool did… -
Re: [Solved] Landscape Material layer blend with texture height
If you take a look at the example image in the documentation, you can see that the "height" texture that they used has a lot of contrast and it isn't really a good heightmap: But! You can achieve a similar look with yours without completely destroying them. feed the heightmap into a lerp and set A to some large… -
Re: Bad day for UVW unwraping (3dsmax) :(
The way I would do things is in UVunwrap edit mode to simply select everything in face mode and apply a planar map. Then with the whole selection apply some relaxing (so they are relaxed but still connected). After that just select edges and then hit CTRL+B to break them there. Relax each UV shell after that an you should… -
Re: Affordable/Cost benefit 3D printing services
There are several polycounters here with 3D printers for hire. I've got a Rostock MAX, which is kind of unique for A) having a very large vertical cylindrical build volume and B) being a delta format printer that doesn't move the printed part as it works. It's great for figurines and sculpts. I've currently got ABS, I can… -
Re: multiple meshes > 1 map baking in max?
A. This is a workflow for getting around mirroring problems, nothing to do with what he's asking B. Just offset your mirrored uvs by exactly 1 unit, no need to mess with adding or removing any modifiers. Max does not support multiple low meshes when baking, you will have to combine them all into 1 mesh before you bake. You… -
Re: Weird baking error, max RTT
I didn't say you couldn't, jerky :) Just that you can't get great results from perfect box geometry (unless you do world/object space). You have to fudge stuff, add verts, or as you suggested, do multiple bakes. As a quick A > B workflow, adding more bakes and composites may not be the best idea. A simple chamfer and it… -
Re: What books should 3d artist read about lightning and anatomy?
Regarding anatomy, most attempts to make it for just a 3D artist audience is A. limiting the amountt of money you can make and B. it's not just applicable to 3D or even just a few areas of art, etc. I personally recommend Figure Drawing For All It's Worth by Andrew Loomis. Something tells me you knowing where muscles… -
Re: What is everyone's methods for baking/cage editing these days?
B-but muh 90 degrees corners...Don't you get some artifacts at those sharp places? I thought EQ had proven in the thread you made that that method did not work with complex shapes, since it'd skew them? I still use xNormal with averaged cages to bake my stuff, but I'm super eager to start changing my ways. XNormal not… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
Ok, grabbed some random stuff off of cgtextures Ignore the multiply part, I thought there was a bug where I had to load a blank texture in even if I wasn't using it, turns out I needed Blend2blahblah selected (circled) Here's the tree textures > texture A, B and the overlay (I it in both overlay slots so it overlays the… -
Re: Baking pipeline with Substance Painter/Marmoset. Opinions needed.
I know, but as i mentioned it leads to hungreds of texture sets for every model parts, and merging them by those TSC utility can cause artifacts, probably bacause of dillation (but maybe i just doint something wrong) and anyway its not great to have that tons of files and merge them all the time if you change something.…
