Re: Sketchbook: Wobyen
Thanks Devart! So I gave the normal map a shot today. The high poly was about 33000 verts, the low poly is down to 1485. There are some artifacts on the blade guard and some odd seams on the side of the blade itself that I'm not too crazy about. But this is my first normal map ever. Anyone have thoughts or input on what… -
Edges on Geometry - DDO Curvature Map Creation Bug & Best Practice
Hi, Been playing around with Quixel Suite for a couple of weeks and loving it. Have ran into a variety of issues one of which being the failure to get edges on geometry even when providing normal maps. I see from the support thread that several others faced this problem, so after investigating I wanted to post my findings.… -
tutorial: cavity maps and more from crazy bump!
i had the pleasure of hanging out with ryan at GDC, and we were discussing crazy bump and how i use it to generate cavity maps. i have been using a photoshop action to generate the base map, but crazy bump is better because it doesn't matter if your y is up or down, we use y up, most people use y down, so releasing the… -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #21 - NOVEMBER
@Yuze Try to have the horns on his head flow with the rest of the spike. Don't forget he does have particles there @Thnk I think the 2nd one is better. At first I thought it was kind of stupid that the snakes mouth was open and then I remembered that split shot is basically shoots arrows from the sides!. @Moose I do feel… -
Re: Game 3D Models Vs. Movie 3D Models
In my experience more polygons does not increase render time on a film quality renderer. You may run out of memory on the render farm machine but, as long as you're not out of memory, render speed doesn't decrease. Something the film industry uses all the time is alembic caches:… -
Re: Made a High Poly Tire Tread, What Now?
You can retopo with the Ribbons Tool under Freeform IIRC or use this: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/max-retopo Although my opinion is you don't really need to retopo anything. Just pop in a cylinder in the scene, make a hole in the middle, and line it up as closesly to the mesh as you can so that it covers the… -
Are you not entertained!? (FX Composer 2)
Look, I'm not great fan of FXC1.8. It was not very user friendly at first, and there were lots of quirks where you wonder how they consider this 1.8 (and not a 1.1), like the window settings. But it allowed me to open it up, and jump right into coding. That's what HLSL is, right? Coding? Apparently not. How much of FXC2 is… -

Re: 3dcoat seems superior to zbrush in every way?
@Benjammin i did some quick test: at 32 million triangles voxel and surface sculpting shows a tiny bit of lag, but still very useable at 128 million it is laggy enough that i consider it not useable (though you could if you really had to) I have a 3090 GPU and 64gb ram, and this is 3d coat 2024.13 I have no idea how this…
