Re: Sci-Fi grenade game asset WIP
Thanks to both of you. I'm thinking I might just have to remodel those holes again since adding a loop around would be shoddy. I don't want the tight edge running up vertical from its center like that so a total remodel might be in order. @Stephanie- thanks for all those tips. I don't know how I'm going to make a really LP… -
Re: First complete prop
So, here are my thoughts. I doodled on your rendering in photoshop; hope you don't mind :) . On the low-poly: 1) Small plug: move the end of the "3 o'clock" vertex back so it lands evenly on the line. This will allow you to ditch many of the "triangular" edges to get even less polys. This will remove some of the curving… -
Re: Modo. Baking errors on imported .FBX
@bek here's an .fbx(2016/17) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l654cv3czqsmv42/AAAXQ2aahYcewwvgCVBtNFuza?dl=0 I've almost given up at this stage. The fact that some edges are baking correct and others are completely broken on a simple 6-sided cube makes little sense. As I mentioned above, it should be all edges or none. I could… -
Re: WIP - Space Jockey Alien
Because things decompose, rot, rust etc. Yes, maybe edge wear like this thing was dragged and dropped about the place is wrong. But theres no way to tell at all where the edges are, because the spec map actually looks like a diffuse map copy thats maybe just been greyscaled or something? Adding grime, dirt and rust isn't… -
Re: KA-BAR knife model
I started textureing the blade in substance designer 4. Its the first time Ive really used it so its kind of new so any suggestions on making edge wear and scratches would be helpful because when I use the masks it does not put the edge wear or paint wear on the blade I have not yet made the Materials for the hilt, pommel… -
Re: Help With Poly flow
use bevels man and work in all quads. It's the only way to get decent results. The idea is pretty simple. when smoothing out a lowpoly mesh, anywhere that has a quick interpolation between one angle to the other, or a hard angle into a smooth curve you need geometry to support that transition. this image isn't perfect by… -
Re: Of Bit Depths, Banding and Normal Maps
Yeah, getting rid of the gradients is the only real way to avoid banding entirely. More tests. Here, a cube with edge bevels with varying geometry density, both show banding, the major difference being the specific pattern. Without banding, a cube with all edges set to hard shows no banding as there there is no gradient at… -
Re: WH40k Rhino = FINISHED =
- I think you could highlight a lot of the edges, especially in the spec map. Don't go crazy with edge damage and detail but a bit more wouldn't hurt bring out some of the details that are blending in. - The geometry in the grate on top seems unnecessary as do some of the skull & point details and some of the fine details… -
Re: [3ds Max] Very annoying TurboSmooth issue
I received a bunch of isolated vertices warnings when I used my approach to address your issue, and I couldn't quite remember how I dealt with that pesky problem, lol. Anyhoo, here are my steps: 1) Select all hard edges (I did it via a script I use regularly) and set the Edge Crease value to 1.0 under Edge Properties and… -
Re: Practicing baking - Pillar
After looking at it again this morning I realised I hadn't properly set hard edges on all the correct parts (Doing so in modo 501 is a bit of a pain really. For the islands of a cylindrical object, I have to set the smoothing groups like: A (for the polygons left of where I want the seam), AB (for the rest), B (for the…
