Can't bake normals without seams along polygon edges
I've been having this problem for like a year now, and I've not seen anyone else who does. When I go to bake a normal map on an organic shape, it'll end up with harsh seams along certain polygon edges, like this: There's only one smoothing group on the mesh, and there aren't any disconnected verts--the lowpoly looks pretty… -
PolyGonic Studios needing Modelers
NOW CLOSED: POSITION NO LONGER OPEN Attention all Modelers and animators! My studio needs your assistance! Here's the scoop. I am the owner of an official, licensed and operating start-up development studio named PolyGonic Studios. We do not have a website yet, as every penny I have is going towards the funding.

Maya - Editing Default Polygon Marking Menu
Hi, I have been heavily customising Maya over the last year or so and now I wanted to tweak the default Polygon Marking menu (Shift Right Click). Basically even though its already there at the bottom of the menu, I want to add the Quad Draw tool above the Multicut tool in the marking menu. I have managed to add the tool to… -
Techniques for removing/reducing baking gaps due to polygon budget restrictions?
Hello guys ! Does anyone know how I can mitigate the damage to my bakes (all of them, not just normal map) when baking from high poly objects that have gaps and you don't have the polygon budget to compensate? I've illustrated the issue below: This is particularly frustrating when the object is against another and the… -
Low Polygon RAAF
Hi Guys. Decided to get off my arse and do something, so I decided to hone my low polygon skills into creating (eventually) all of the aircraft of the Royal Australian Air Force. Done for 2 reasons, 1, to help catch on to this 'texturing' fad, and 2, to cheer myself up. I have been down lately because I am not flying atm… -
UV software for mesh with millions of hard surface polygons
Hi All, I`m wanting to uv a few cad environment models for a tech test so will be using upto 20-30million polygons, the idea is to show off tech i`m not wanting to reduce the poycount. So i`m looking for some suggestions of a fast, low memory software package that can either unwrap or repack uv`s . Idea is to split up the… -
Adjusting maps, textures are heavy as much as high polygons?
Hi guys, I'm noob to 3d modelings. I was trying to make seveal low poly stuffs with Modo, it has good quality of renderer but it is kinda heavy maybe because it shows good results. Anyway, if I adjust couple of textures and bump, displacement maps, Modo nearly crashes, and rendering takes looong time. Even on extremely low… -
Modo: Low-Poly Looks Polygonal Despite Normal Map
Hi. I'm using Modo to put together a low-poly model. After making a normal map in xNormal from a high-poly model, I am running into some issues with the low-poly still looking polygonal. Here is a pic. I thought someone on this site had the exact same issue going on, but I couldn't find the thread :( , and I'm having a bit… -
Get polygon normal in maya (MEL or Python)
Hi guys. This is probably a very common problem, but I can't find any useful resource on the web :/ I'm building a script that check the visibility of all the faces of a model from a certain camera angle and deletes them if needed. In this case 'visibility' is just testing if the face is 'facing' the camera, not an actual… -
Designer wanted for Burning Man Effigy Design (low count polygon head)
Hi there, I am the Effigy lead for Australias regional burn. I am looking for someone to help me design a low polygon count head to use as a basis for our build crew. the low count is due to the effigy being of a rock/stone/earth god and so we can use framing and ply to quickly build our design. I am mainly looking for…
