Re: How do I convert a curvy UV to a rectangluar UV?
Also, importantly, as I mentioned above you should concentrate on only straightening border edges, otherwise your UVs will be distorted. In Max> run Straighten Selection> run Relax by edge angles with 'keep boundary points fixed' checked In Headus> hit R(rectilinear unwrap)> hit F(relax with edge borders unaffected) Both… -
Re: M4A1 Modified (WIP) (Please Help)
Hey, looking good so far. The only thing I would take into consideration are edges. More chamfers - better normal map. For example: Notice how rounded this edge is, and compare to yours (I made this mistake with my m4 also, a lot of sharp edges). Also don't worry, m4 receiver is pretty tricky to model so keep trying.… -
Re: My work they need your help
There's a couple of redundant edges. The easiest to remove is the one in the middle of the handle. Also, your edge distribution is a little off. You have more edges in your finger guard than in the base of the gun. Texture wise, it all seems too clean. Grunge up the diffuse and spec/gloss some more. Make it look like it's… -
Re: New to Normal Map extracting in Mudbox
Looking at your uv's it looks like there are some hard edges going on? Hard edges will break up the projection rays of the mesh. If you do not have hard edges on your low poly mesh; The ray casting of that area is probably not in the general direction of the rest of that emblem. Try rotating the triangle in that problem… -
Re: Portfolio Project WIP. (1st thread)
I agree with RMeeks said, for some spacifics the Mad Hatter hat and stand there are some edges you can get rid of and have that smooth edge for the lip that holds the hat. Also the vines you can get rid of some edge loops that are the circumference and still have it be a smooth vines. Just go through and try and optimize… -
Re: RPG House - Hand painted textures
Oh yeah, nice improvements. Totally on the right track now, nice work. I like EQ's idea about cutting in some uneven edges along the edge of the roof. If its too costly to do every shingle maybe just a few? You can also map a single shingle to a plane or a box and hang it off the edge if that's easier or less costly. -
Re: Mudbox Bogging Down...
are those dark areas ment to be there..? this looks more like shading issues... i would do some hard edges on this one... or detach the inner planks... and dont forget to seperate the uvs on where you created the hard edges... ;D and if you really like to bake in mudbox you have to import the object via fbx to preserve the… -
Re: Some help with my normal mapping
personnaly id say you'd get a better bake and finished result if you chamfered (or beveled depending on app) the edges and made it one smoothing group, this would give you a seamless result. if you do it with hard edges make sure they are not connected in the UVs as they will share a pixel but need to be two seperate… -
Re: Creating a very specific type of rock...
Sascha's method is good. I would chamfer base and corner edges 2-3 times, and vertex blend the very edge vertices up to the chamfer and fake AO with a dirt blend. If you keep smoothing tied together at base, then it should hide the lighting seams a bit better. Added edges and poly's is still way cheaper than unique… -
Re: Long Time Dead - Emaciated Zombie - Mesh Complete
Thanks for the feedback, 'super dense' ! the toes aren't that dense! , just an extra set of edges on the top, underneath is flat, and extra edge around the circumference, if anything I would only add an extra set of edges around the circumference of the fingers near the top, so they reflect a two jointed finger rather than…
