Re: My High-Poly Adventures
well for the rivets I just started off with a floater, and then I brought that floater to equal level of the flat surface, got rid of the surface face and bridged the edges, add cuts where necssary, and then if there are any noticable errors I fix them. get 8 verts. And then I applied a spherify modifier to those verts to… -
Re: [ July Update] Our Ghosts of War
Enviromist, Thank you brother, I will soon create a post on that in this thread: http://polycount.com/discussion/183365/tips-tutorials-tricks-alirezas-art-blog#latest cptSwing, It's not possible to do it for the roads since the whole road surface is already very close to the ground. It only works for meshes where a big… -
Re: Techniques for belts and/or tape.
I figured a good way in blender 2.5 recently. It consists on using retopo and laying out faces stuck to the surface, and then using the solidify modifier to make it extrude off the surface. Thanks guys! I only need to find a good way to make it overlap. It'd probably just consist of moving the faces to the point where the… -
Re: The Sintuition Hardsurface Thread
Quick update here. I've been detailing out more of the model. I'm trying to create a good design centered around this idea that there is 'stuff' underneath the surface of what you're seeing. I'm holding off on applying turbosmooth until I have more of my design fleshed out as it's much harder to add details with control… -
Re: Hard lines coming through my normal map
Looks like you might have some hard edges along where those triangles are showing up (either on your HP or LP), or you have the outside surface and the inside loop of the hole on one smoothing group which causes the normal map to have to compensate pretty hard. The harder the compensation, the more obvious it is across… -
Re: Substance Painter - Master Thread
It's important to note that if you're depicting a pure metal surface using the Specular/Glossiness workflow, you will need to have pure black on your albedo output in that area. What Wes says about values in albedo or base color never going below RGB 30 or above RGB 240 is only applicable to non-metal surfaces. Otherwise,… -
Re: Max 2008 Demo
Jay: Iso mode editing is when you can directly manipulate the verts/edges/polys of a subdivision surface's control cage, directly on the surface of the subdivided model. For example, this is how Silo (and Modo, I think) handles it. With Max, if you turn on subdivision it gives you this fugly orange cage overlaid onto the… -
Re: Can You Hide Faces in Maya?
Thanks, it helped me out. On a side note, I'm planning on using alpha channels to make negative space on a planer surface....uhmm, make invisible and only let texture surface visible and negative space invisible.....that kind of a thing. Probably should start a new thread....maybe not. [Edit]Just a Quake 3 Alpha Channel… -
Re: Your Opinion: Wasted UV Space
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. Artistically, if it looks good in the final render, it's fine. Technically, it's no different than using every pixel. The rasterizer doesn't give a shit. However, you aren't using the full potential of the surface space you have. You can organize it better, and get more out of… -
Is there a Data Transfer tool or modifier to achieve these cool Blender normal tricks ?
These Blender tutorials make use of its data transfer modifier either for fixing the normals after a boolean on curved surfaces or to shrinkwrap seamlessly objects on the curved surface of other objects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luFz5gzvM9s&list=PLQNQhKSZqiJbyrxji1Rl4LMvFw9p_VgfJ&index=6&t=0s…
