Re: 3D model Baking practice
Hey, after taking a look at the Blend file, here are some notes: Lowpoly - lowpoly has some hard edges with no splits UVs (for example along edge the blade) - this will result in artifacts when baking the normal map. Using the "Auto Smooth" modifier, which shades edges hard by angle can easily introduce such cases that go… -
Re: RayTraced Reflections problem
OMG such a dumb problem. I had the mirror objects as one smoothing group before export for unreal. When the mirror polygon is its own smoothing group the world normal is flat and the reflection is correct. -
Re: Sketchbook: Scott Harris
your line work is very smooth and neat, do you use photoshop or some other tool? I find it hard to get smooth flowing curves out of just photoshop and a wacom intuos. -
Re: Curved Hardsurface subdivision problem (Maya)
Honestly i don't fully understand what you are tying to achieve. You want those valleys to be smooth? Or to be crips but front be smooth? In my opinion you are using to low geometry for that kind of shape. -
Re: Sketchbook: William Mitchell
Step 29, as it left a hard edge after the weld. I used paint deformation and smoothed out the verts with the relax button pressed. Just paint the area that looks hard edged to smooth it out. -
Re: Optiniums works
Gorgeous. The neck roll is a good idea, maybe with a neat button-on setup or something to break the shapes up between the smooth metal and [presumably] smooth cushion. This is looking amazing already. Excited to see more! -
Re: Modeling Maria (solo thread)
You have some really great smooth shapes going on there, except for the hair. I would add some more density to the hair and smooth it out a bit so it looks consistant with the rest of the model. -
Re: How to get rid of hard edges when importing from 3dsmax to zbrush
Yep, smoothing groups aren't a thing in zBrush (or most applications really). You could use auto crease and subd that way, or sub-d a bunch in max using smoothing groups, and import that (heavier) file into zbrush. -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | January - February (64)
Most of the time I start with a smoothed object and then lightly chip away at the corners with the trimDynamic brush. This gives me a balance between a smooth shape, and defined planes which I feel helps sell the definition of the shape. -
Re: M37 Shotgun - Need help
Double check your smoothing groups on both ends, it seems as if they have the same smoothing as the barrel and the stock without actually sharing uv island. Probably just a textool error that can be easily fixed it would seem ?
