Re: Hard edge - highpoly
Pinching is fail, you can get good results using smooth, flatten, and just sculpting with the different brush falloffs in mudbox. I know for a fact thats what vahl does and you should not use pinch, it will fuck up your geo and generally not give good hard edges(you want some nice soft bevels, not super hard piched edges) -
Re: Normal Map help? Seams along UV Cuts
It's because the normalmap will go through every pixel and sample nearby pixels to average the normal in between every pixel. It might be quite a lot to grasp, I'm still not entirely sure about how to tackle these problems in practice. You should make a really simplified scene and try different normal map scenarios.… -
Re: [Maya] Baking normal/bump maps issue
I'm a little confused here. It looks like you're trying to bake that sloped segment of roof shingle to a cube primitive that isn't anywhere near it. Your low poly needs to be in the same general shape as the high poly, and they need to occupy the same physical space. Your low poly also needs proper UVs and hard/soft edge… -
Re: Humanoid chess set - The Rook
Thanks for the feedback. You are spot on about the rendered version looking too cute. I suspect that it might be caused by the soft rendering, but the points you brought up also make a lot of sense. I am heading to class right now so I will bring this up with my teacher and see what he suggests. Thanks for the feedback… -
Re: Hand Painted Aladdin-style house WIP
Making good progress! I think you need to define the transition from plaster to brick a little more its looking a little fuzzy. Probably highlight the edge a bit and give it some subtle AO along the bricks to help account for the thickness of the plaster. Right now it looks a little too much like it was erased with a very… -
Re: alian head
Good start, but right now it is super soft in the texture. The white area looks wierd because it is so much brighter in value. If you wanted to suggest a white skin patch, it wouldn't be that bright. Maybe it's glowing? Try using a hard edged brush, and don't smudge the values so much. Get some hard edges in like this.… -
Re: high poly practice..
thanks guys the final model will have the shirt on...I had a softer version of the muscles but someone else had mentioned that they looked too soft so I chiseled them a bit...I'll try to find somewhere in between. I am using a fitness magazine as reference, and before that I was trying to do comicbook proportions, which… -
Re: My first post here | various stuff (750kb)
Thanks for the reply. I had similar comments from my friends concerning the color scheme of the MK painting, a bit garish colors that make it a little too cartoony. I also have some problems with skin tones, either make them too soft and fuzzy or something more similar to the skin here. Maybe a matter of style. Avalean:… -
Re: How can I get a height map out of substance sampler that works on zbrush?
Zbrush didn't read exr files from Sampler at all on my end . While perfectly read any exrs from other 3d soft . But I stopped to use Sampler for a while already. Nerve been able to get anything good from it. So not sure about now. I assume you can try to export to Substance Designer and then export as 16 bit psd from… -
Re: 3ds Max 2018 Object question
Selection Sets would be a good option, but it depends on what kind of edits you need to make. Hidden polygons are still connected to unhidden ones, if the elements are not detached properly. Soft Selection also affects hidden polygons, unless you use Edge Distance. So if you are moving/rotating/scaling unhidden polygons,…
