Re: [Portfolio] Kevin Wolmarans
You have some normal maps posted in your 3ds max section that were generated using a texture and normal map filter http://www.kwolmarans.com/3dsMax/Fountain/Fountain.html thats cool, but you can see the the smoothing groups of each polygon. That is exactly what a normal map should hide. Dude, make a simple high poly and… -
Re: Tips for creating with only one photo
the title is not saying much either, very confusing post :( Maybe you are referring to image modeling? or camera mapped modeling? 3dsMax has some build in tools to match a camera in 3d space to a 2d image by referencing a few points in the picture and 3d space. Its called camera match or so, just google it. Otherwise what… -
Re: Maya/Aztec/Inca Environment WIP
Try zbrushing the hills. I do mountains regularly at work and zbrush has proved to be a helpful mountain and hill creation tool. I usually tecilate to around 100k polys then sculpt large shapes that are readable from a sillouet style. After your sculp bring the mesh back into your modeling program, poly reduce (while… -
Re: Noob question: Quads or Tris?
Whatever works to get the job done for whatever you're doing. Games work in tris but quads are easier to work with, selecting rings and loops, converting that to poly selection all fast ways to work but it doesn't work with mostly tris. If you're using 3dsmax its easier to control hidden edges then it is in Maya. But in… -
Re: Anybody doing tool stuff with Blender?
would be nice to have some kind of tutorials or experience review of someone who used it in that way. I think the modeler and many of the tools are not competing at all with the pricey big 3 (max, maya, xsi) but just like sketchup its super sexy for using in a studio as a pipeline element with custom scripts because:* runs… -
Re: No reply, do i keep emailing?
If you're going to redo it, a good place to start would be creating a new UV layout on a second UV channel then transfer/render the first UV channel to the second. That will take what you have done and put it on a new UV layout. Be sure to put any overlapping pieces off the grid exactly 1 unit over, that way they'll tile… -
Re: tutorial: fixing mirrored normal map seams
Warby, Thanks for great information. As matter of fact, I was looking all over the place to find how to do it via "Zbrush & 3dsMax pipeline" (which I am still working on) This would be definitely giving me some break. Dekard, [ QUOTE ] You can just save a copy, move it off the uv sqaure somewhere, and then revert back to… -
Re: zbrush question...need help!
if you're bringing it back to max for normal baking, I'd just make the tubes in Max. For this, since you've already started, just use the Pinch tool on the pipes to make them thin, then when you bring it back into Max, model the pipes using any method and just place them over the top of the zbrush pipes so that they… -
Steampunk Batmobile, "steampunk new history competition" WIP
I've been working on a project for 3d model's steampunk new history competition (located here if your interested in it https://3dmodels.org/steampunk-new-history/ ) I decided to go with a steampunk batmobile, located in a Victorian Gotham. I've been working on it the last month or so for a few hours every night. Here's a… -
The Great Horned Rat - TW Warhammer
Here is the Great Horned Rat, Skaven God. yess yes! I'm calling him done for now as I need to move on to other projects, let me know what you think! Learned a lot from making this one, especially as it was my first time using Substance Painter and a different style to what I'm used to. Posted on Artstation for some higher…
