Re: Gex
ah, that sounds interesting, especially that move and sew option. i use 3ds max and for manual unwrapping i use the unfold mapping option to get even maps and then stitch them manually into position. at least i use this method for easy and hard surface models. i tried zbrush too but im not that good at painting within that… -
Re: Smoothing groups when baking?!?
For the most part you are going to want to have your smoothing group splits match your UV splits. This also means that you're going to want to pay attention to how you split your UVs so that your smoothing groups are not going to cause issues. So on a cube, I would unwrap it like a baseball as opposed to an unfolded cross. -
Re: A book cover for... you!
When the book unfolds, I want it to cover about 2/3 of a 1920x1080 screen, because there's going to be the character's stats, inventory, skills, etc off to the right, and also a simple grid map of where the player is. You bring up a good point though! Now is the perfect time to get the dimensions completely down before… -
Re: Headus UVLayout - worth buying?
I wouldn't say layout its more of a way of speedy relaxing stuff with user input. At least I always did the layouting (moving parts) in max. And the relaxing or unfolding stuff is rather what max sucks at by default + everything is scattered in countless tiny and dated operations which make the whole unwrapping part in max… -
Re: Maya 'Pelt Mapping' equivalent?
I've never gotten anything useful out of Maya's Relax tool(I must be using it wrong), but Unfold works reasonably well for a similar function to pelt map. That said, I prefer to use Roadkill for anything more complicated than planar mapping and stitching things together in Maya because the default UV tools are a bit crap. -
Re: Apple Ipad
So what happens when you want to view a webpage with flash? how will that make you feel after spending all that money on it and not be able to view simple flash video on a site? Sure, netbooks unfold, but why is that a big deal? I can place it on my lap laying down and angle the screen to my eyes. You can't do that with… -
"repeating" UVs in Maya
Let me explain what i try to make: I modeled a chainsaw: I unwrapped the chain and added a "tileable" texture to the material: I know that stuff that goes outside to the right from "0-1" it will repeat the texture, but what is the best way to do it in maya? What I did is; - unfold it and straight it - then I would scale it… -
UDIM texturing in Substance Painter
Hello, I have problem with Substance painter and my UDIM-s. UV-s were done via Unfold 3D. But i see those like this in substance painter (look at image). I also get an error when i try to apply Smart material (dust on it). One guy in substance forum told me that i cant paint udims models in substance designer -
Re: It is possible to have a model gameready without texture and uvmap?
if you want a simple but still attractive style that requires minimal unwrapping and other technical things, grab one of the synty studios model packs from unity asset store to study. they are still unwrapped, technically, but in a very minimalistic way. just make shells and put them on the color swatch you want. Don't… -
Re: Magnum Rifle [WIP]
This gun concept confuses me. Why is there also what appears to be a magazine attached? Maybe the revolver chamber is there to confuse your enemies into not knowing how the gun works. Turns out it just fires saw blades that unfold in the air. Confusion on the mechanics aside, the model is coming out great. You seem to have…
