[Baking Error] Having Hard Seam Line
I am trying to texture a wooden crate, but after baking, I am having visible seam line in the mesh, as in the picture below. Even after using triplanar blend, it's the same. I have UV cut in all the hard edges in my low poly mesh. I tried to figure things out on my own as much as I could but didn't get much of a solution.… -
Re: Sketchbook: Tim Smith
Thanks. ^_^ Well, for the leather, I used Leather Lambskin and setting the Type to Leather. Some areas, like the borders, I froze and then let the simulation do its thing. And when some nice compression folds came out of it, I captured them using pins. Also, any trims/borders/internal lines, I add a bit of fold strength… -
Maya - Split straight line in UVs?
So I've been working a lot with texture atlases lately at work, which means a lot of finding ways to make my UVs fit into a square with minimal distortion. I'm using Maya. For flat objects like floors, it's simple, since I can just put an outline around the texture in photoshop, apply it to the model, and from an… -
[Project] RIB Boat Grand 850 — Hard Surface / Vehicle Art
Hello everyone, I’d like to share my first independent project: a detailed 3D model of the Grand 850 rigid-inflatable boat (RIB). Since I am still a beginner in 3D modeling, this was a massive learning experience for me. My primary objective for this project was to achieve accurate hard-surface geometry representation,… -
UE5.2 & Maya 2024 Live Link not working
Greetings! I've wanted to test out Live Link between Maya and Unreal Engine for a long time now, but my project has been running UE5.2. Live Link has finally been released for that version of the engine (it was in October last year... I've had other projects), so I gave it a go. Maya Live Link is not appearing in the Live… -
Hard surface sub-d poly modeling and panel lines
I have a "best practices" question about a model I'm working on, and I can get a little obsessive about the optimal workflow. I have a hard surface mech model, in poly block out currently, but it will be sub-d. I've reached the point where I want to start adding support loops and beveling everything to prepare a high poly… -
Re: SDF. what do you think of it?
One has to distinguish: Signed distance fields or functions does define some volume. Ray Marching is one possible algorithm to compute SDF's. Another possibility are voxels.. even if "rastered". One may say that the (original) metaballs are a very simple version of SDF.. only some radius around some ball centers… -
[zbrush] Transpose line behaving as Action line. Refuses to center on selection.
I'm not sure what I did but clicking the white circle at the end of the line no longer centers it on selection but rotates the document camera. I looked through the zbrush docs and it mentions this as a function of the action line (http://docs.pixologic.com/user-guide/3d-modeling/posing-your-model/transpose/action-line/ )… -
Re: Does having five edges meet here work for this product? What’s a better alternative?
Frankpolygon's perspective is what I'd think about plus the principles discussed relate too other shapes/subd processes as well e.g. Hemispherical intersections "Segment matching is a fundamental element of most subdivision modeling workflows." It's not the topology "A significant problem with trying to formulate a fixed… -
ordering a list of vectors into a line
before I injure myself from repeated desk/head contact ... I've got an array/list/whatever of vectors, I want them ordered into a line based on proximity to the next nearest point. i.e point 0 connects to the nearest point, point 1 connects to the nearest point that isn't point 0 -- and so on I don't need to worry about…
