You’re right, decimation is a better word for what I’m doing than retopo. Ideally yes, the decimation and unwrapping would all be handled in one step. Best case would be a modifier that I put on the model once and forget about. I know there are quad-based topology solutions out there that would probably give me better auto…
I didn't checked on any references.. but the detail/scale of the worn out metal seems to be more fitting to for example some smaller thing like maybe a painted toolbox (??) or of the metal case would be thicker and will be worn out very much like for example some forklift.. now i checked and.. .. it seems you got the…
I also had this question recently. I took some models from modern games (PUBG, MK11) and pretty much all of them do have thickness on "hanging" parts of their clothing - even if a tiny amount. Which seems like it's bound to have inter-penetrations when it's simulated. I guess I'm just thinking in terms of Unity cloth sim -…
There is a very fast workflow in Blender to simulate smooth intersections of booleans by using offset cut. It does not create nice geometry, but it works visually. Is there any sort of script that can replicate something like this in 3dsmax? If I export meshes that have a Meshmachine offset-cut from Blender to 3dsmax the…
Wow these are really cool! Love the stylization on these, and the mix of 3d and lighting with hand-painted details. I would love to see more thoughtful attention to variable line widths. You have some different widths, but each line is the same width along its length. Here's a nice example of how variable line weights…
I have sony a6000 24 mpix APC-s camera with default kit zoom lens pz14-50. Photogrammetry have always been so-so an softy with this camera. Chat GPT tells me it's a soft lens and uses only 60% of matrix resolution. Which surprises me because I always though its sensor resolution mostly . Chat tells me all those boke ,…
Sorry, I didn't realize -- yes, exactly that -- I know enough that I can make rudimentary shader code, I'm just looking for operations/math/advice/direction/etc that might help me to achieve something like the above images/examples, especially with the constraints I've mentioned (performant enough for many onscreen chars…
Hopefully you've taken a breather, it seemed like you were getting pretty stressed out and wasting lot of energy on posts. If you put half the energy into figuring out your problem that you did into posting, you would have 1-2 test cases up and running and be well on your way to figuring out a workable solution. ;) 1st…
