Re: Smooth Groups in Maya
Yeah I much prefer Maya's Soft/Hard edges to Max's Smoothing Groups... Smooth Groups just seem to overcomplicate things, and mean you have to keep track of which ones are assigned to which polys... so silly. You can get a MaxScript which basically does the same as Maya (by obfuscating the whole smooth groups thing so you… -
Re: .md5mesh smoothing problems
MD5mesh doesn't support smoothing groups/hard edges/vertex normals, as far as I'm aware. I assume it's possible to get the same effect by simply breaking the verts along the edges which need to be "hard" before exporting. I assume the exporter won't weld those verts back together (although I might be wrong). Obviously that… -
Re: 3Ds Max UV Unwrapp Disappears after adding smoothing groups to the object !
@Eric Chadwick when I posted I was already doing the uv s since there was not much to redo in that specific case, so sadly I can not post a screenshot. I wanted to know how to avoid the problem in the future though. This is what I did: Edit Poly -> Assign Smoothing Groups -> Unwrap (with the mesh selected, not polygons or… -
PNG with metallic and smoothness - How can I edit (in PS) the two separately within one PNG?
Hey all - so I'm stumped. I'm relatively new to Unity and am having difficulty getting used to using a PNG (format is client mandated) for metallic/smoothness. My PNGs are coming out of Painter which has combined my metal/smooth upon export. I understand that the value AND transparency work together to affect metal/smooth.… -
Re: Rigging and Skinning to a smooth mesh is it possiable?
Yes, you can rig, skin, animate and software-render your model with smooth preview or not. But smooth preview will not help, if its for a game engine, which most likely will not support dynamic mesh smoothing. Just go ahead and do the skinning, if problems come up with the mesh, you can fix them later. -
MaxScript- toggle turbosmooth
this is a little script i wrote today to help when high poly modeling. lots of times i want to just check real quick how my model would look with a turbosmooth modifier on it. before i would have a turbosmooth at the top of the stack and move up to check, then go back down to edit the mesh. This script simplifies the… -
Smoothing Jagged Mouth Vertices In zBrush
How can I smooth the ends of my mouth loops in zBrush? I want the ends of the lips to conform to some type of axis instead of just sticking out like this (messed up the mouth loops with Move Topological). Is this avoidable if I just extrude the mouth loop backwards so the mouth has an interior, which I can then use to… -
Reimporting screws up smooth groups
When I import a mesh using FBX, it imports just fine with no surprises. However when I reimport it I get funky smooth groups. To make matters worse, despite the content browser displaying the mesh with funky smooth groups, it doesn't seem to affect the meshes already imported and instanced in engine. Shown above are the… -
Re: Multiple smoothing groups = more vert count in game engine?
Yes, however, if you have a hard edge where you also have a uv split, there is no increase in verts, as the verts are already doubled along the uv seam. When doing normal mapped stuff, its essential to have uv seams where you have hard edges(to avoid baking artifacts), so this works out well naturally. So in any realistic… -
Do you need smoothing groups if you have normal map?
Hello, I wonder if I need smoothing groups/hard edges if I will apply normal map on model? Do I need smoothing groups/hard edges if I am baking with cage? Without a cage?
