Re: Cavity map in 3ds max
Yes, this tool gathers all it's information from the geometry(vertices) itself, it will not recognize any pixel information, it is a tool to get a very fast approximation of those effect, which might be what you want at times... to get the cavity from the normal map, you should use one of the external apps that have a… -
Re: League of Legends Blademistress Morgana WIP thread
Hey there GuangArt, really nice work you have there. I have been watching your streams and I have some doubts that I would be really thankful if you answer :) . Speficically this: http://www.twitch.tv/senng/b/336773870 @6:15 when you select the vertices and flatten them acodring the curvature of the surface, Which Tool did… -
Re: Trying to Play Simple Animation in Unity For Art Test - Need Help!!
Hey gsokol, thank you! I redid my animation, using a bone and voila it works! I'm still a bit iffy on the Root Node and will need to follow-up. If I select my bone as my root node, the grenade pops a rotation along it's vertical axis before animating. However, if I select 'grenade' which is the mesh (skinned in Max and not… -
Re: Near Future Assault Rifle
Since I'm not a 3D guy, I can only comment on the design. My main concern is that the pistol grip is way too curvy, even organic perhaps compared to the rather straight and angular everything else of the weapon. That all said, the weapon overall looks very balanced. Nothing's standing out, or too tall or anything. I think… -
Re: Can someone help me understand topology better
Assuming this is a high poly, it doesn't matter what your topology looks like as long as it looks the way you intended it to look. There is a bit of foresight involved in high poly modeling in order to direct supporting edge loops and all that, but it looks fine. The one thing I might suggest is to tie corner areas off… -
Re: Canada Post Mailbox
overall its pretty good. just a few things that stand out. the red is like.. pure red. same with the blue. way too saturated. how come you decided to model those vertical metal pieces at the bottom? why not normal map them? get it reflecting an environment with a cubemap and use the spec and normals to really bring out the… -
Re: [FINISHED] Eduardo Garcia's H3R Gog
@artquest Hey Joel, Sorry for not answering sooner. :) I used procedural textures as a base for hand-painting. I've set up the general color scheme, some minor surface detailing and overall vertical gradient using Substance painter. I've ended up painting over most of it, so the end result is all painted. It's not the most… -
Re: VERTEX3 - Official Thread
re: printed books - agreed! Especially since this is the third Vertex, we could put them on our shelves safe in the knowledges the 3 Vertices will form a tri. Naturally we will all be uncomfortable until Vertex 4 is released and we have a quad on our bookcase. Afterwards I'm afraid you'll have to change the name to Extrude… -
Re: World war 2 stick grenade
Cylindrical mapping, or simply select the edgeloops at either end of the cyldrical shape of the handle, convert to seam. You can also select one of the loops running vertically (if the grenade was standing up) and do a unfold strip from loop and simply scale it until correct. (in uvw unwrap modifier, 3ds max) There will… -
Re: Does TB have problems displaying black vertex colors?
@EarthQuake Thank you for replying; I did not know the math that was behind that. However, shouldn't that be applying only to the vertices being painted? As you can see from my Maya screenshot, painting one small portion of the mesh black (value 0 I assume) automatically tints everything that doesn't have a defined vertex…
