Re: Polypainting Issue
Just so you know in case this is what you're doing: GUVs are not needed for baking polypaint from a sculpt to a different low poly mesh. You can export the OBJ straight out of zbrush and it will have polypaint data included, which can be picked up in programs like xnormal and baked to the actual UVs of the lowpoly mesh. If… -
Re: [WIP] Quake 2 models
Hi. I know about you and your q2e, it is bad that you do not continue to work on the your project. Old models are terrible, they have bad uv and broken geometry at invisible side. So, now its faster make new models, than to restore old. And md2 adds a lot of pain. Other bad thing - now its hard to find exporter for 3ds… -
Re: Normal Map Bake Off: Xnormal vs 3Dsmax vs Substance Designer Bakes [Large Image]
Hey EQ, Funny thing about that is, the first day I was baking the mech you guys released 2.05 and had read that you stated if you set the tangent space to Marm that it reads from the FBX file. So I baked in SD and took it to TB2 and had some bad errors that weren't present in either SD or UE4 even with setting the tangent… -
Re: [3ds Max] How to apply different UV-maps to different parts of the same model?
Oh man, thank you so much. Everything makes sense now!! -I watched an SP video on YouTube where the guy makes and exports a dedicated Mat ID version of his model (using a whole bunch of ID's). I did wonder why he didn't just put them on the original ...this is why! (I did ask, but they didn't reply.) -The only small thing… -
Re: Arr, normals baking problem with xNormal
You need to keep hard normals wherever you have extreme angles, roughly 70s and higher, depending on how your rendering engine works. The reason you have the seams is that by default xnormal uses surface normals to bake instead of geometry normals. You need to use a cage to bake to get proper normals around edges. To make… -
Re: Low Poly Assets Research
I'll just give you a very brief synopsis of my process: - model unoptimized "mid poly" asset. - make 2 copies. One copy gets optimized (collapse edges, weld verts, etc) and UVed, the other becomes my high-poly mesh for baking. - depending on the asset, either create high-poly model using 3ds max, or export the model for… -
Re: so...mudbox then.
I love the UV tiles too, another must have is the Export to Photoshop feature. Amazingly usefull. Also check out the way mb stores textures. all your layers end up in a folder as regular images rather than part of the mudbox file. you can link your 3D app to these and it will update every time you save. Awesome stuff. One… -
Re: Rubi Malone - Big Images
Hey guys, another issue with regards to game character hair ^^ I have tried exporting my mesh to UDK but the hair alpha sorting is just hideous. My two options here are : Setting the hair material Blend Mode to Masked or Soft Masked, which solves the sorting issue, at the cost of chunkier (uglier ^^) alphas. Setting the… -
Re: Layoffs at Radical
I'd argue this. Anything anything that doesn't have to be done locally can be outsourced, especially furniture and metalwork ;) However even though companies like outsourcing, the western governments slowly realize that this isn't as good as they thought in the early 2000's. Because right now the service sector, crumbles… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly CHARACTER ART Challenge | April - May
@Naeevhna Thanks, i wish i could do this little faster though. As for braids i used an free IMM brush (basic braids) and inflated and tuned a little...also did some versions with Zspheres but did not use them. Definitely Curvestrap is another option for this but a hassle to manage and keep it clean for me. The carpet was…
