Only thing i can think of that usually happens is, group splitting any part of the mesh, you can ONLY subdivide if i remember correctly doing nearly anything else (if i was doing this i wouldn't do anything else if i needed just 'volume' added) will break u.v.'s edit, yes you can NOT click zremesh if you did and expect the…
@curry23: thanks for the boost curry! i agree with you that i gotta loosen up some of my poses, a lot of times i have a tendency to have way too much fun with the rough under sketch and then get all hung up on the boring polishing part. so her's flaps, flaps comes from this jungle kinda planet were there is like no way you…
Face weighted normals is not a panacea . They helped mostly on boxy shaped things with geometry bevels. Their main purpose is transferring shading gradients from big flat quads to smaller and thin bevel ones. Not working that good on intersecting cylinders for example. If your next LOD is without those bevels already it…
You would just question me on just enough to get me to write it wouldn't you? :P Thanks for the push. It took far longer than I'd thought all because it took me a while to remember/figure out the general form for making these sub gradations, but the mental math felt good. I finally had to break out the paper and work out…
Concentrate on the Right side Menü under Model Tab and use Modo Layout with Top and Front View and 3D. Top and Front View is good for correct placing and Grid Snapping aka correct measurements. 3D View more for Selecting and Overview. IN your picture you see the left Menü, its not relevant in the following process because…
This is more to get people pointed in the right direction. Hopefully someone finds it useful. So one cool thing about game art creation is that there can be specialized things that pop up. Those of you in dealing with Military sims and racing sims have dealt with this at some point in your life. Most tutorials on taking…
[ QUOTE ] Basically you HAVE to uninstall the program before installing it again. This will stop people from installing multiple copies of their copy. [/ QUOTE ] No it won't In fact, a quick check shows there are already fixes floating around. Whether they work or not I don't know, but I get the feeling that I'll…
looks brilliant! I think the sky could be darker though, if its snowing. Also the wood looks a bit light, I dont know if they covered them in animal fat or what ever but the wood would either be water proofed somewhat or wet, which would mean darker wood. but not too much! I like the subtle swaying of the lamps, maybe a…
EDIT: Never mind, this is not related to the question and as you stated you forgot to add the mods for the example picture. —- You have 2 choices in a situation like this. 1: match the low shape as closely as possible to the high 2: Cover that entire crevice with a flat face and let the normal map create an illusion of the…
Useful for creating facial rigs, this JUST builds the sticks, it doesn't link them. I still need to tidy up the linking code (it works now, but it's still hardcoded in places), I'll post it when I get a chance. The fairly step by step explanation of how I went about this is here:…
