bah ive been the guniee pig for another thing again! ok so basically if I have a square box for example, and on the edges I have those edges very hard, if I were to keep the low poly and keep those edges in smooth group 2, and the top part on 1, when it registers the normal maps, it still gives it a nice hard edge look…
The topology of the model is not the greatest. But it has improved from your first post. Slash's link has some really nice edge flow and is a very clean mesh. I think your biggest issue at the moment is learning how to build something with neat and correct edge flow. Once you understand that, modeling will become easier…
Hey, Don't have much time so I do it short Youre on a good path but its the typical issues everyone has, the only thing unusual is the topology is sometimes not closed but you run some unneccessary loops all around instead of closing to a triangle Otherwise: - You need to continue and just do more things - Remember to…
Alright guys, I´m tired of having to remake everytime my smoothgroups, or sometimes having to make in max/maya my uv´s and getting problems when exporting. I usually export between Max -> Maya and Maya -> Max. My version of Max is 9 and Maya 2008. When exporting OBJ from Max to Maya I get some wrong smooth edges and when I…
I'm completely clueless when it comes to texturing pipeline, and unfortunately every tutorial I can find (Quixel or otherwise) is tech-specific (they explain the software, not the craft of UV'ing). I was hoping someone could at least help me put a word to some of these issues so that I can Google them further. My pipeline:…
Hey, so I'm trying to use the transparency feature so I can composite my render to a background plate, but there is this annoying 1 pixel white edge around my image that is not there when I render it with a background image. How do I go about fixing this, it's like the alpha channel Toolbag outputs is incorrect. For…
Hey guys, I'm working with an optimized model imported from Meshlab. I've reduced the face count in Meshlab with no apparent problems, and have imported the mesh as an .obj into 3DS Max 2009. While the mesh is still in Editable Mesh state, I've applied a Unwrap UVW modifier to the mesh, with the intention of using the…
Hi all, don't know if anyone's tried UVing in 3D Coat, I like it a lot but on reimporting the UV'd mesh back into Maya I find the edges of the model are now split all over, as if I've created seams on every edge of the mesh. Here's an example: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Blinnx/UV.jpg (You can see the thick…
Hello, Basically I'm trying to create an animation of an egg rolling around across a surface. I'm inexperienced when it comes to rigging and so far my research has come up short. I would appreciate and advise, or at least a point in the right direction. Regards,
@peanut : Thanks! My group members are currently on it! Maybe the designers will post a video or something, no promiese though. @JamieRIOT : Thanks! We tried to go for a kind of Mirror's Edge meets Portal feel. Lots of contrasting colors etc. The pictures are posted "in order" so the idea was for the levels to go from warm…
