Re: Rifle: CZ 805 - Modeling and Texturing
Thank you guys. When I have time. I'll fix the Picatinny rails, I'll increase the polygons in optics and I will increase the materials's difference betwen abs and metal. Do you know any trick to have a strong difference of materials? i think fix glossiness map. -
Re: Hand-painted volcano castle
Guess it's more of a lava gate/cave and not a castle like the thread title say. Calling this scene done for the most part. Moving on to some smaller pieces for a while. 17,839 polys total though I wasn't really focusing on polygon count for this one. Textures are all 256x256 or 256x128. wires: -
Re: 3DS Max indie?
The no-scripts thing is a real bummer. Hmm, I'll have to think about it. Does anybody have a good ressource to get started? Hopefuly something that assumes you already have a knowledge of how to do modeling? Skipping through what a polygon is on basic tutorial videos isn't optimal, haha. -
Re: How to fix xNormal mistakes
How does it look applied to the model? If those UV islands belong to the polygons I think they belong to, you wouldn't be able to see those parts of the normal map anyway. Either way, I would suggest using a cage when baking to prevent xNormal from over-shooting. -
Re: [Intersecting Geo] When is it okay to intersect geo?
So with the separate meshes such as the harness and pouches do you model the backsides that you wouldn't really see because they are up against the character or would that be a waste of polygons/UV space? If you take the boar that you posted as an example, do you do the backside of the gold part on the front of the harness? -
Re: Max script question
im confused, you want every polygon to be a separate UV island, so you can stitch them?, or your wanting it to act like the planner mapping in Silo, or the the auto unwrap in maya, where all flat surfaces come out as a island, and you can set a angle tolerance. -
Re: Terrain - How I Hate Terrain...
well, if the issue is with modeling, the screen you've posted shows lack of polygons to define shapes and volumes. Additionally, you need detail map, normal map ( and specular and so on with a good shader ), lightmap ( with a good light setup ) and variations ( like decals ) to bring an interesting atmosphere and to obtain… -
Re: [WIP] OTs-14 Groza Bullpup Rifle
Thanks! Hmm, I did not notice that bek! That part isn't two sided, to save on polygons. It isn't visible from most angles, so I thought it wouldn't be an issue. I'll probably do some fixing up and I'll cheat and just turn off culled back faces :) -
Re: Solved: Can't get OBJ settings to work in dDo
Sorry, I don't really get what you are trying to say. I also don't know what 3D application you are using or what "TurnToPoly" does. If the model is not a polygon object to begin with and is converted from something like a nurbs object, you will also have to create UVs. -
Re: Starting out Modelling
well the thing is, i'd like a tutorial video that explains what the different things in maya actually is, like what is a Mesh, what is a Polygon, so on and so on. i know i can google the things, but i think what i am requestin is "the über noob's way to Maya" :P
