Re: A Demon Head
Hey Ben good to see you here...as Daz points out the edge flow isnt exactly the greatest...Near his chin area it seems, you can redirect some of the edges in that triangle-like quad to the next edge that flows down and makes a sudden 90 degree turn but its good to see you posting...keep posting updates.. -
Re: Vertex Normals - Maya 2013 issue
Non-manifold geometry, or T-shapes, are when you have a geometric edge that shares more than two faces. This will break Maya's smoothed normals. Make sure that your fingers have no internal geometry going from one outside edge inward and bridging to another outside edge. Try switching to Vertex Face mode and see that there… -
Re: An Angle Puzzle?
Hi Mop, It doesn't look like there's one supporting edge there in the first place, so I presume you mean two. I'm not sure if you're saying it's ok to place triangles along that edge, as I thought they shouldn't be placed on a curved surface? Jacose's approach is messy - I'm just focusing on the best way to tackle edge… -
Re: Futuristic gun - first next-gen model
Thanks a bunch, vig and glib! throw off all those edges you showed, vig, and added new topo for the hole :) I had to still keep the edges at the middle, because of the tex seam. One thing that I wonder, the lowpoly mesh without these edges, would have baked the same normal/lightmap from the highpoly, would be better,… -
Re: Workshop #3 - danshewan
if you look at what sync has done he manages to get the edges flowing much better by joiining that bottom face to the edge of the axe.. and if you look at the concept it actually has a "hard" (ish) edge there too.. it would probably make life a little easyer to do the same... small comment though ill grant you :) onwards i… -
Re: [Maxscript] Array Modifier for 3DS Max
Hola! Agreeing with renderhjs. Additionally, usability drops down to zero for me when encrypting. If I want to change something to my needs when using the script I am bound to the externally visible properties that are changeable. When not encrypted, those constraints are off. To make an example, a guy in this post… -
Re: Starcraft MercHaven WIP (Status: Planing)
I also find a way to create "low poly round corners", I think this can help in cases where you can't use normal maps (e.g. at tileable-texture objects): 1. Simple Corner 2. Apply Champfer Modifier 3. Add aditional Line via the "swift loop" while holding Shift. This will add a new edge exactly in the middle between the two… -
Re: Escape Vessell
You've got a great starting design and you're making good progress. Be careful about how pillowy some of the edges are. Work more angular bevels in there (e.g. turn a 90 into a 45-45 instead of a smooth curve). Additionally, many of the details in there currently feel very flat like we are looking at a model that has very… -
Workshop #1 - MattG
I think this workshop is a great idea and will help alot of people. I've already learnt a few things :) Anyway here's what i've made so far... I made the holes by pushing some edges out of the way. Then i removed the edges where i want the hole to be. What was left was a big 16 sided poly. I inset that polygon and made it… -
SD Texture Sheets/Atlas
I'm looking to attempt my hand at creating a texture atlas/sheet for modular purposes with hard surfaces in mind. The flat panels and trim with no corners or edges to worry about are the easy part to figure out but what would I do or use as of a node system set up for edges and corners? Hard surfaces are all about those…
