Re: How do you reset the "subobject" gizmo orientation?
This is caused by using non-uniform scale on a model when it is NOT in sub-object mode. Reset Xform always fixes this, always. Unless you have Skin applied, or some crazy modifier setup like World Space deformers. Make sure you exit sub-object mode first (so it doesn't apply the Xform modifier only to the selection), use… -
Re: Combat Beetle Update
your going to need to define your soft, and hard edges for both the highpoly mesh, and the low poly. just make sure you have your edges set to soft, or hard on both the high and low before you bake. you can either apply them as you go, or apply it all when you finish your model. just figure what works best for you, and the… -
Re: normal maps and smoothing groups
My question is: How do you calculate normal maps for industrial stuff just applying 1 smoothing group to the whole mesh? Applying smoothing groups you get seams 'cause it breaks up all the faces. I only have this problem with normal mapping, in max, orb, ati, melody, kaldera, and anything else. Is this engine related more… -
Normal Map Export Issue
Heya guys, So for some reason when ever I export the normal map on this flashlight it renders out like total garbage. The display in Substance Painter looks fine, but when i apply the map to the object in other programs such as Maya it looks awful. Can someone explain what the cause of this is? I've tried to export in both… -
Re: Why doesn't Max remember my UV's? [Solved]
The modifier stack is dependent on what is below, even a minor change can upset things up the stack. This becomes doubly important if a higher modifier is based on selection, which happens if you had some faces selected and applied modifier. Like if you did a soft select and then applied a noise modifier it would only… -
Re: The Honest Feedback Thread
I missed looking at this thread ! Very interesting stuff again :) On the subject of the Muzzface, I think there are a few things you could try. - First of all, as Bagel mentioned it here I think you could totally keep your construction lines. We tend to think of them as temporary helpers, to be erased when shading is… -
Re: SUITE 1.7 PREVIEW AVAILABLE NOW (Updated: November 18)
Just downloaded the actual release for 1.7 and found a new bug. When I went to use a smart material and apply it to my mesh it would not put the material into a group. It would just have each material be loose in my ddo stack. It also wouldn't apply the material until I put each of the materials into its own group. Just… -
Re: foliage lightmaps?
Update: It looks like if I manually place static meshes, I get desired results, but I lose lightmap functionality with the foliage painter. It's going to be a pain to replant everything manually but I'm happy to see that there's a solution. Curiously though, the main stem (or trunk) of my corn stalk has disappeared if it's… -
Re: Characters & Assets Portfolio Review
Even though there is room for improvment, your art has good qualities as stylized art but it depends on what studios you are applying for really. different studios look for different styles or a variety. look up character artists from the studios you are applying for and see what type of stuff they are making. if the games… -
Re: UDK Jungle Environment Techniques and Level WIP
Not really what I meant. Apply this yo your leavs. Won't be such a hastle to place :) And like someone said. You can apply an mesh, like grass, to a terrain layer. Painting the leaves out that way. [EDIT] Realized that you used UDK for this. Thought you used CE3 after posting the Crysis screen. I guess you should be able…
