Re: Projection + Shading Problems
Adding and moving edges around changes the direction of the face normals from which your normal map bake was initially calculated. Looking at your first image, it appears as though your low poly may have had all hard edges when you baked your normal map. It baked fine on a plane because there is only 1 face normal to… -
Re: Screen Space Fresnel Reflections-UDK
I actually found the voiceover to be a bit distracting :D Anyways, on topic : It would be great to see the effect applied to a sphere and a cube with soft corners, just for the sake of seing how far it holds. The fireplace shot looks extremely convincing, very cool stuff. Considering it is screen space, do you end up with… -
Re: Maya Locking
First, convert your edges to vertices, then in the channel box, you'll see a CVs (click to show) which expands the selection. You can either drag select or Ctrl-A to pick them all. Then right click and do Lock Selected. Eventually you'll want to unlock them, it's the same process but doing Unlock selected; you don't need… -
Re: Houdini 17 Preview Video
For a typical artist math is rather a hobby Imo. Your competitive advantages lay in a bit different area usually. I mean all those unspecific matters like good taste, a sense of proportions, inventive abilities to find most simple solution for complicated issues. The math is also a part of it but not a core part. As of… -

Thanks so much guys!! Was struggling with the mat editor tonight, unfortunatly I dont think there's a way to enable RT reflections on glass, so I had to do some trickery, bake a cubemap, etc to get this working. Added a very soft wobly normal map (needs work still), and the usual glow map, looks much better when looking… -

Re: Trouble with normals + baking
Hey guys update. Thank you everyone once again for all the helpful inputs. I finished fixing what is wrong and it looks way better, than before! I re made the high poly tighter, since it was messing up my bake (thx @RaptorCWS) I made hard and soft smoothing groups in the normal and re made the UV, with many more islands.… -
Re: WIP mutant on the run
Good start! Right now I feel like everything is a bit soft. I would maybe try making the edge on the ax a bit wider/sharper, tighten up the folds on the clothing and maybe harden up the horns. His left arm especially feels very blobby I guess would be the word I would use to describe it because there are a lot of… -
Re: Ice Cream Truck WIP
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, guys. Much appreciated! :D I'm now using 495 out of the 500 tris budget. So, I remade the wheels. Just hoping I can get it to match the shape of the rest of the wheel so that it looks good. We're only aloud 1-bit alpha. I also softened up the silhouette, added handles for the doors… -
Re: Understanding subdivision modeling primer paper
That is not true. We have a hard surface armor model that's full of curves and it's like 350,000 polygons. If you want precise control over curvature, soft and hard edges and transitions, UVs, etc. then you absolutely require a detailed model. You can however build this detailed model by starting with a low resolution…
