Re: Tire tread normal mapping?
It really depends on how you built it? I suggest modeling a flat piece of high poly tire tread that tiles, copy it a few times in a flat straight row. Do the same for a low poly tile. You can then unwrap it while its still flat or unwrap just one of the tiles before you copy and save yourself some UV space its up to you.… -
Re: Creating a modular bending tunnel for UT
So here's whatca do. You can do this with with highly complex objects also, its pretty handy at transforming straight hallways into bends. The key is to use the grid to align the pieces not the pieces themselves. Build your pieces to the grid, snapping verts and edges as you go so everything is water tight, but separate… -
Re: Cyberpunk - Wasteland project - Come join us!

Any help would be well appreciated. macroScript ExportAllAnimation category:"WIT"… -
Seeking help fixing waviness in cylindrical geometry normal bakes
Hello all, I'm currently modelling a barrel, and am having great difficulty achieving a clean normal map bake (without waviness) on the cylindrical rims, especially the larger one at the top of the prop. Here's what the issues in the bake look like (Substance painter 2): I believe this issue is the result of a difference…
