Re: How many sides of a polygon do you need for a perfect subd circle
8 is what I usually go for for visual correctness. If you want mathematically correct surfaces you should be using CAD or Nurbs instead of subdivision surfaces. -
Re: 3DSMax: Accurately align object to vertex/face normal
What are you looking to do with it? I add surface details using a plugin that allows for custom primitives and then use the auto grid feature to align them on the surface. -
Re: [WIP] Titanfall Fanart, MCOR "Maurauder" Pilot Desmond
@birb Roughness maps below. Something like that? Does the model overall read better at the moment with its surfacing details and variance across large read surfaces? -
Re: [Character] Dark Elf Assassin
This is a nice sculpt, you have cool surface detail, the only real issue I see, is a lack of a silluette. Try to make the silluete match the surface detail. -
Re: [RIGGING] Pinning locators to verts [Maya]
With the point on poly constraint the constrained object will rotate to match the normal of the surface at the point it is constrained. Is that what it looks like, or is there 'weird' rotation that does not follow the normal of the surface? -
Re: Maya question
Try Surfaces>Reverse Direction. Its the last options in the menu. The reason reserve normal doesn't work is because that only works with polygon shapes, not surfaces/NURBS. -
Re: State of the: HLSL and CGFX in Maya
Not sure if this is possible to do 'in shader': I'm interested in being able to throw away the geometry surface normal data and use 'hard' surface normals - no matter the input -
Re: Alien vs Predator demo comes out tomorrow!
Probably the lighting on the surface. Not the Silhouette. Instead of relying so much on normal and displacement with are pixel based. Should give a smoother/organic feel to the surface alah the screenshot. -
Re: Insanely frustrating baking issues with height in marmoset
Here's a simple example, from left to right we have: High poly Low poly Low poly with regular sub-d and displacement map applied And this is the baked height map. Note now the vertices in the low poly mesh create darker values, this is because they extend past the surface of the mesh. When the result is displaced, these… -
Normal Map Issues
I've spent days trying to resolve these problems so i figure if anywhere has any semblance of a solution, it's polycount. I'm a student artist using Second Life as a platform since it's easy to collaborate on. Anyway, the problem: (picture speaks a thousand words) (uploaded image is a JPG for forum friendliness, i realize…
