Re: Smoothing in Maya
1. sounds like if you want a crease button you should be using sub-d in Maya, if you are refering to just getting hard edges with smooth proxy, just cut some more edges into the model, if you are going with smooth proxy I highly recommend the CPS tool which is a free download, just google it, the built is smooth proxy in… -
Re: Track AND Terrain
Basically you make your road as a high density mesh as you see it in the screen shot above, using techniques like loft or sub-d mesh. You then make your terrain from a terrain model, or from a creative reference. Possibly making it with flowing polygons or just with a straight grid (at first) Once you are happy with the… -
Re: Transitioning to environment/prop art
Sorry for the confusion and misunderstanding, let me see if I can clear it up a bit. :) There's nothing wrong with the normal map or the textures themselves. What I was really getting at was that you are relying too much on your textures to do the work that should be accomplished with geometry in your low poly. Your normal… -
A better way of aligning an edge/vertex on a certain axis in 3d max?
Every so often I find myself copying the X, Y or Z coordinates for certain edges/vertices and then selecting other edges/vertices and then pasting the copied coordinates into the field. For example this sometimes happens when I create a separate object and I want the bottom faces to be sitting on top of the top faces of an… -
first model: simple pillar
I've modeled a simple pillar, even though one thing that's bothering me is I can't create those two cylinders on either side of at the top, because I don't know how I'm supposed to without creating n-gons and other mess ups. Basically, I simply don't know how to go about it. The entire mesh so far is made up mostly of… -
Re: flickering on trim sheet
@cturbo Even though you fixed the issue, I would add you can minimize moiré effect by reducing the number of pattern lines in texture too. Alternatively you can combine extruded geo with texture to have that extra depth for closer shots and just a plane for distant shots. -
Re: Modeling of "peeled off" wall (or smth like that)
@mantaskava Is this a wall sink? Some trades have very specific names for curves (so it can vary depending on who you're talking to) but the concave area where the wall and the sink meet is generally called a fillet. The convex areas on each side in the front of the sink are generally called rounded (radiused) corners or… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (87)
Hi, someone adviced me to try these challenges, and I love the idea, I might be a little light but here goes. I don't have the capacity to do the textures, so i just focused on the modelling and uv-unwrapping. For the uv's it's done with three materials, one for the whole vase, the other for the stand, and sides. It was… -
Re: plane help
Like shift drag extrude ? select the outline edges and shift drag on the axis you want to extrude. -
Re: Futuristic-fantasy knight
Extrude Edge, move them, extrude more edges, move them again. It's pretty fast once you get used to it.
