Re: Looks Strange In Maya
"When you say "lock, unlock, and lock them again" you mean conform the normals and smooth them and such?" When importing/exporting i always make a pitstop in Maya precisely for this little gem. Why locking, unlocking and locking again ? because this option lets me reorganize vertices order (think rewriting) cleanup all… -
Re: Matching roughness between UE4 and SD/SP
I have a follow up question that fits this topic. I am also using Substance Designer and UE4, and while the look of the materials do seem on par between the two programs (especially after the UE4 sRGB uncheck mentioned above), I am a little suspicious of some of my settings, and want to make sure I am doing the right thing… -
Re: Very confused as to the Maya to Painter (baking) workflow. Not beginner and detailed question.
This had me confused for a very long time. The general rule of thumb is to keep any edges close to 90 degrees as hard edges. You will want to make sure that any hard edges are also UV seams. However the part that really confused me was that not all UV seams need to be hard edges, just the ones that are close to 90 degrees.… -
Re: [ZBrush] ~ Normal map gets cut out around creases
@cryrid Thanks a lot for your very quick answer. Nevermind. I guess I'll just have to redo the whole thing starting from the obj exported out of Maya. This is sooooo frustrating! If only I could know how the heck I got those extra edges!! To prevent any future disaster... Ideally, I should not need to tamper with the low… -
Re: Building and executing a large indoor environment
This is what I am currently working on, which is probably close to what you are doing. In my case most parts of the building is actually unique. I've broken up all the walls, floors, ceilings, windows etc. Mostly because I want them unique. I then assemble them in the blueprint. This makes it easy to handle UVs as well.… -
Re: Unwrapping a pistol, ugh
Quick rundown from me. 1. Quick planar map to clear the seams 2. look for surfaces that wont deform poorly when laid out flat and make sense for natural seams. Select and quick planar map to break. 3. If you think to yourself. Self this cant lay out flat then put some cuts in the corners that are pinching. This takes a… -
Re: Normal Mapping Issue - Zbrush to Maya
.Wiki: Thanks, that helps a bunch to understand what is going on. I think I sort of stumbled upon that exact thing as a fix. It seems like it is working, for the most part now, with some minor errors, no stretching on the edges, but i need to fix my uv seams...as they are now on the edges. Anyways, the difference of what i… -
Re: Sullum97 Irish Bar Looking for critique!
@Joltya Thanks so much buddy I appreciate it greatly! My lighting is super weak I agree, unfortunately I have to teach myself as they don't teach this at my school so I am just guessing in between tutorials. I personally work in Maya (old habits die hard). I grouped each piece by similar shader and then exported as fbx.… -
Re: Modular Hallway UDK #192371
@iWeRez, I worked 1:1 so 1uu = 1 cm, but I didn't really work in real world scale. When you bring stuff in to UDK the perspective is pretty different then what you get in max, so things 'feel' like they shrink a bit. A 7 foot doorway might looks fine in max but feels like you would bump your head in udk. I think the best… -
Re: Bad Seams on Simple Normal Map?
Cheers guys - I'll give this all a look at. The thing that's caught me off is that this wasn't an issue with any of the other three sets of stair models I'd built, and they were all built exactly the same - rebuilding the mesh from scratch also fixed the issue which does suggest to me that somewhere along the line there…
