Re: Grease Gun Wip
The horizontal scratches on the trigger are too uniform and don't really match the wear pattern on an actual gun. Look at the first reference photo for an example of extreme wear; the bare metal is in two distinct strips, starting a bit behind the front of the trigger. The patterns on the handgrip are vertical, whereas in… -
Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
I worked this way too until they implemented peel. Now I turn on peel, turn on point to point edge selection to quickly pick which edges I want seams on, then break the edges and it relaxes. If there is a spot with some tension I select those edges and break until it relaxes. I also select groups of faces and hit quick… -
Re: 3d max - how to triangulate mesh
Hi Gerbeiter, this is clueless, but I'd stay away from Editable Patch. I have the bad feeling it could mess up your work. First, if you want to actually see what's the hidden Editable Poly Triangulation you can use:$.allEdges = true -- to display hidden edges$.allEdges = false -- to hide themprovided current selection $ is… -
Re: WIP : steampunk Gun
First of all don't use primitives in blender to model low poly stuff, at least from my experience that tends to end up like the mesh you have at the moment.... Most of the time i start with a plane and extrude the edges until I get the shape I want. Also, alt-m is quite important in vertext select mode as you can simply… -
Re: Jedi Academy Asset
The model is nice, but unfortunately the normalmaps (If you are using. I couldnt really tell) are not really.It looks like you are just using diffuse and maybe specular.90 degree angles are not good for normalmaps. A little more beveled shapes would be better. Also, use softer corner edges on the highpoly, because its also… -
Re: Is texture padding important?
Let's assume that you're going to use Marmoset Toolbag 3 for baking and Substance Painter for texturing. When baking in MT3, it's advisable to bake with "infinite" (extreme setting) edge padding/dilation for better mipmapping. Bringing baked maps with proper edge padding for SP also helps to work in its viewport with… -
Re: Errybody loves handpainted stuff
the newer versions of your textures upped the value contrasts in the images, but didn't define your shapes more clearly. You're having a serious problem with edge and form definition, and it's caused largely by your purposeful avoidance of hard, single-pixel edges. You're painting most everything with a somewhat soft brush… -
Re: Low Poly Head...I think I finallly got it (??)
usually people create the eye first to have the reference of an eye to create the eyelids, cheeks and nose part. Even though it is the low poly model you are still missing quite a bit (if you post how many trias or polies you are working with so far, it will be appreciated) Suggestions: - Forehead needs to be worked on you… -
Re: Sketchbook: Spiredarc
For the reloading barrel, I upped the subdivisions along the height of the cylinder, then used the offset loop to add 2 loops around each one, then scaled the original edge loops in, then add two more edge loops outside the offset loops to tighten up the bevel of the smooth mesh. For the holes, I cut a cylinder down to… -
Re: Female Character(W.I.P)
AaronF3D, nice work so far, keep it up. i wanted to make sure you were familiar with some tools and ideas that will help with your model. you understand the goal of an edge loop is to follow the flow of the muscles and forms of the body, so that when it is animated, it deforms properly. a good way to check an edgeloop is…
