the chimney looks like its made of a noise modifier without a clear shape. and the edge of the right picture could use some chamfering. the edge looks to clear at the moment. the broken plaster from the brick ends there suddenly at this edge. but the rest of the stuff looks very nice. :)
I got it now with this more detailed explanation. One more thing though. When I click "Find Edges" in the filter section of photoshop I get colored edges not black edges. Should I just desaturate that color and level it off to get the black?
@Reza, Add edge loops close to an edge line on all the areas you want creases. http://cgcookie.com/blender/2013/06/21/tips-creating-sharp-edges-modeling/ The method I'm talking about is under the proximity loops section.
Wall O Text crits you for 0hp. I see your wall of text, and raise one of my own. It takes you many a sentence to reverse your stance, but I'm glad its happening. 15 years of max experience, impressive. In another 15 years of Maya experience you'll be qualified to compare the two packages fully. We can probably discuss…
To be honest I hardly see any issue . But I would check if UV seam edge has split vertex normals. Any geometry using displacement shouldn't have hard edges. i didn't use Arnold much . I used Clarisse FX and it had special checkbox that made sure uv seams got merged with displacement . Maybe Arnold have it too somewhere.…

Hey Polycounters! We are Arcane Owl peepz, a freshly formed 3D art outsourcing studio. We have seen a lot of awesome Overwatch fanarts over they years, (mostly character-related) yet not that many complete maps/environments. So! As our love and passion lies in the stylized arena, we've decided to take the challenge and…
Problem solved. It was due to the chamfer modifier: Painter see some smoothed edges as chamfered ones. Removing it and using support edges instead it works fine. That's pretty weird because it is applied to all the meshes but only few of them are affected bu this issue, and only on some edges.
@Lankus Maximus Thanks, And yes. Basically you put edge loops around the edges and then turbo smooth, it keeps the edges sharp and smooth. For my bridge that's the exact reason. I usually dont do much HPs for architecture but I think the bridge section would need it.
I don't do much sculpting, but my friends who do a fair amount say they bevel their hard edges if they're doing a lo poly in order to hold hard edges in z brush. do you have any better methods for holding hard edges?
