Re: [WIP] Robot Turret
Im working on the Low Poly now, for the main turret middle where it has a beveled edge, can i just leave a single edge on the low poly or is it best to chamfer it for the normal map to get that smooth edge better? -
Re: Chamfers vs Uvs: Max
you can kinda get around it a by extruding (instead of chamfering) the edge with a height of 0 and then welding the middle edge to one side, you will have to stretch the edge uvs a little bit after but it should make things easier. -
Re: Mateba.
What are you saying? You could easily float a smooth edged bit of geometry over a hard edged corner, but, you could probably add in the geometry to make that edge smooth in the model in the same amount of time really. -
Re: Speed Model Thread TIMELESS AND DATELESS FOR UNTIL THE END OF TIME
Currently in the process of modifying an old mesh, initially modeled using an explicit subdivided workflow too a low poly object via bevel edge weights, weighted normals, edge split with additional subsurf at lvl 1 (...for circular shapes) so at least subjectively, a 'quickie' nonetheless : # -
Re: Best practices when creating assets specifically for Nanite
Yes, adding "unnecessary" edge loops to floors and walls in particularly helps them cull other nanite meshes behind them better. -
what are your opinions on zmodeller?
just been mucking around with it and for adding simple edge loops its fine, but it seems a bit flakey overall. it would be good if you could stop it acccidentally selecting polygons when you are trying to work on edges for one thing. trying to terminate an edge loop is a real pain too. maybe I am not doing it right:/ -
Maya how to change the standard vertex boundary?
Hey when I use smooth mesh preview I would like to have it set at sharp edges. But you have to click it for each object is there a way to set the preference to sharp edges instead of sharp edges and corners? I tried to find it but I can't find it anywhere but I'm sure it's possible right? -
[ZBrush] Hard surface base mesh workflow?
I am trying to bring this shape into ZBrush. How do I make the topology density equal and keep some of the edges hard? Crease will keep the wanted edges hard but it wont fix the topology density problem, DynaMesh/ZRemesher will make the density equal but will break some of my edges. Any ideas? -
Re: Defining procedural normals in a blending shader
Produce a normal map from your edge mask, and sample the edge mask in two places - once to define the edge, and once again to switch from the normal map to a totally flat blue. One moment while I throw together a demonstration. -
Re: Maya - Solid Bevel
hmm it does not really do what i want... it only works on edge loops and it always selects an whole edge loop to do that... what i am talking about is a normal bevel operation with 2 segments, but with the middle edge staying the same ^^
