Re: [Portfolio] Low-poly oriented reel
Get a newer Engine. While some engines require collapsed and closed meshes, there are plenty others that accept open geometry. Either way, with the amount of bad triangle stripping you have in your mesh, it wouldn't light well in the Old Unreal either. Even on that note, you wouldn't want to bring an object of this size… -
First semi-successful NM bake with some questions
Hey guys and gals, I'm just posting this model I did of a Radio Flyer type wagon. The HP and LP are done but my NMap is looking a little off in parts. Specifically under the main body of wagon, and the rim of the body as well. As you can see from the HP, I didn't model in the little extrusion on the bottom of the body in… -
Spline cages - worth it?
Does anybody actually use spline cages in their modeling workflow? I've been trying to improve my hard surface work, especially on more complex surfaces, but I'm finding that, despite the most fastidious placement of the verts, the end result still ends up pretty disappointing, especially at higher patch topology steps -… -
3ds max - Equalise surface edges
Hi people, I am doing some modelling in max (Vehicle) and I have a question regarding making a mesh which has equal spacing between edges. I have blocked in the form using plane/edge extrusion to get the overall silhouette but now I have realised that when I subdivide the surface, poly distribution will be unequal (banding… -
ios | low poly modeling app choices?
Hi all, just joined up and did a bit of searching but I didn’t find anything recent. Please forgive me if i’ve missed a thread already created on this subject. I have often wanted to do a bit of very simple low poly character modeling on the couch or while traveling — requirments seem pretty simple, box modeling, symmetry,… -
Re: High Res to Game Res Tau Mech
Der Hollander pretty much summed it up. Did you come up with the design on your own or is it based on a reference? The design of it could use some work. The super big gun...I'm not a fan. That thing would throw the weight of the mech off so terribly, it'd be difficult just for it to stand. The high poly just is not at a… -
Re: How to cut parts of zbrush stuff?
now nothing , it was just a bad extrusion of one of the stripes wrapped arount the sticks.... But I sincerely think that this is not the best way of making a wrapping around something ... what woud be the best way or approach considering also 33dsmax and not just zbrush? I have tought of spline paths but is not that easy… -
Re: FN Five-SeveN Pistol
Yeah it seems so, the aliasing is due to just a screengrab/snipping tool, doesn't alias much in viewport :) But some edges could benefit from a fatter bevel, totally. All grips are baked into the normal, aside from the top slide's triangular extrusions (since that'd be closest to the players view, i imagined it'd be nice… -
Re: Normal Map Problems
A cage is basically your lowpoly expanded so it covers the highpoly and sets a "limit" for when you're baking the textures. Are you using xNormal to bake? You can create a cage by launching its 3D Viewer and doing a global extrusion. Alternatively, I do it using Maya, selecting all of the verts on the lowpoly mesh, setting… -
Re: gun texturing advice/help
The scar looks like plastic because it IS plastic (polymer). So if you're trying to replicate polymer why are you showing metal underneath? The big problem right now is your wear is all high frequency (noisy) and very uniform (it's everywhere). Look at pictures, and I mean really look at them, and ask 'why is that the way…
