Re: Sketchbook: Rima
imo the mesh resolution is holding you back, unless this is a dynamesh only challenge you're at a stage where you can make a lowpoly, create polygroups, subdivide and get that fine-tuned control you need. Your anatomy is excellent but dynamesh is really just a tool meant for quickly establishing a rough silhouette, it's… -
Marmoset Curvature bakes
Hey Im not sure if it has improved in M4 (I didnt read any patchnotes about it) and I dont have 4 at hand right now but in Marmoset 3, baking low to low gives you basically no usable curvature map in most cases 3D coat does this pretty well and you can get some decent curvature maps from just the lowpoly Today I tried… -
Usefull aditions to marmoset ( Wishlist )
hey marmosettans ! Sadly i dont have Facialbook so i cant comment on the groups with feedback, so i have some requests that will help out alot on certain bakes : - A simple AO generator for the lowpoly. all the models i do need self occulsion from the lowpoly, i usually use max where i drag the lowpoly and add a skylight… -
Re: Texture baking features?
If the highpoly has transparency, like glass windows, or foliage textured planes, then baking from that is problematic in most bakers… whether directly back onto the highpoly, or onto a lowpoly. Substance Painter doesn’t alter the need for UV offsets. This is an issue about UV space savings, and how intentional overlapping… -
Re: how to use displacement for bricks
I would recommend modeling it out with actual brick meshes, if you really need the silhouette to be affected. Most of the time you don't, a good normal map does wonders. Plus you can add individual low-res brick meshes here and there to emphasize edges. Here's an older example that combines two tiled textures, plus a bit… -
Re: Fallout 76 Inspired Interior Hero Asset (Dev)
Hi! Cool to see an update. I must say though, the shading on the terminal still looks off, like the normal map is not working with the mesh shading. I would doublecheck against the shading in your texturing app that all looks as intended in engine. If you want a second pair of eyes on it, feel free to share files (for… -
Re: Uv mapping high detail models for games
Generally, your lowpoly model and your sculpting "cage" will not be the same mesh anyway, so this isn't really a problem. A cage is optimized for zbrush, this means all quads, and evenly sized, square quads. Anything else and you'll run into problems when detailing. A lowpoly will be optimized to use the fewest amount of… -
the VG REMIX
Sketchfab & Polycount are teaming up for a brand new, lowpoly contest: the VG REMIX! The VG REMIX will be a 3-week long contest where artists will create lowpoly dioramas of a scenario or setting from one their favourite videogames. These depictions do not need to be in the same style as found in the game they come from -… -
Duplicate of a duplicate ( what is happening ? ) can be removed
Hello everyone. Few days ago, I opened this thread https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2734111#Comment_2734111 concerning the basic pipeline to follow when you want to make a game asset. I've received the answers I needed to start a project and try to follow the "checklist" of the 3D Game Artist. BUT of course I'm a… -
Re: Baking vs Texture based normals
There is no comparison, doing a proper highpoly model is always going to be better. When you a proper bake from source geometry, the smoothing in the lowpoly mesh is accounted for. What this means is that the shading of your mesh is replaced with the shading of the highpoly for every pixel. Normal maps aren't just for…
