Hello. I need to bake a wireframe texture that only contains the hard edges of the model. I can't seem to get the UV snapshot tool in maya to only bake hard edges. Even if I isolate the hard edges in the uv editor when I do UV snapshot, It shows every edge of the model. I could print screen the uv editor, but that's very…
You should take a look at the beta tester threads if you haven't, specifically the ones known to do hard-surface projects. Mike Jenson has videos and tips that he used, as does Nicolas Garilhe and Steve Warner. Etcher has some hard surface stuff too (be sure to follow the links in his sig for more). I believe this thread…
@OP: As the clicking and other things have already been addressed: If you lay your forearm and hand relaxed on the table next to your mouse and then on the mouse, does your hand position change notably? Maybe the pain in your upper forearm means you are extending your wrist / raising your hand. How much does your…
Hey all (hoping to post in the right section this time :P) So I am building a new rig, almost done. But I am wondering what would be the best hard drive setup for it. There are a few things I know I want, but some things are still TBD. The plan so far : - DRIVE1 SSD 120GB OCZ Pixel (solid state) Primary 'work' OS (XPPro…
Kinda both, I want to do this project because my portfolio lacks hard surface stuff. So, I want to complete a hard surface project that shows my competence in modeling hard-surface objects to any potential employers. Also, it's my friends Glock that I'm modeling, so, yeah.
Note that you generally want to go the other direction... generate UV seams from hard edges. To reduce shading errors with tangent-space normal maps, it is best to split and separate the UVs where there are hard edges on the model. Hard edges are not needed for every UV edge though. I.e. there can be more UV edges than…
This has been discussed on here before I'm pretty sure. From what I've seen and heard it's a valid technique to possibly fix your card if it's not working. If you do it right it shouldn't harm the card but it will resodder loose connections as you said. If your warranty is out then why not at least try it.
