Re: Seams in normal mapping.
It looks like you have a few problems going on. Your high and low are a lot different from each other, so getting a good bake is going to be difficult. Second your lowpoly doesn't look like it has correct smoothing groups, hard/soft edges in Maya, so you are going to get bad seams and shading. The other problem is you are… -
Re: red headed warrior chic
been busy lately, but here's the latest. Worked the body and face over and cleaned up the polypaint. Though now I'm having a weird error. I want to export my lowest subdivision of the body out to 3dcoat for uving, and then import it back in. but every time it imports back in it doesn't keep the subdivision levels. Soo… -
Re: NASA's Rover [Game Vehicle]
Wow, the detail on this is fantastic! That's a lot of great modeling work. Is this your own design? If it is, I think it would benefit from some areas of rest where you can communicate use or purpose a bit quicker. Like, for example, the tires are great soft, round areas of rest in contrast to the rest of the structure… -
Re: Maya - Display hard edges on "Invisible" triangles
Thanks for the information, @kodde and @Bartalon It's kind of a shame. Honestly, it's more of stylistic importance to me than anything else, though, so it's no big deal. I can always just triangulate the mesh I'm working on, and harden the normals, to see how it looks, and then undo, edit the mesh some more, ad infinitum.… -
Re: Keizza's Fatty 3d wip by Woogity
Gallows: thanks for the comment, definatly skipped over that area initially. some color tests, trying to decide on what color scheme i want for this feedback on this would be most appriciated because im terrible at color haha. anyways kind going for space toad sorta look for him, since his body is kinda soft and smooth. so… -
Re: Article: Game Art Art
I believe NBA Live might have been the one that pioneered mirroring geometry as floor reflection. ^_^ BTW, this is a really cool thread. Brings back memories. A lot of those EA sports games pioneered some extremely creative visual tricks given the tech. So did the MGS games. Things like anisotropy (on hair) can be faked… -
Re: Most useful keyboard shortcuts for 3ds max
I guess common shortcuts are a little relative but yeah, sorry if some are too common, Don't know any of the default keybinds though I just undid them all and went in and keybinded from a clean slate. I would bind Snap Settings. Not sure the official name atm. Convert Editable Poly Soft Selection Toggle Create Shape from… -
Re: Need advice : asset production
The normal looks good, but your specular is just a slightly brighter version of your diffuse, and thats not the way to go, also your blade edge looks not correct Did you look at a reference for it ? Id be really surprised seeing a soft gradient for this. There are many ways making a blade edge into eye candy, look up some… -
Re: [WIP] Winterizer - Ratchet and Clank
@Neox: Yeah, I get what you mean. looking at my one screengrab, it looks like a 90 degree angle, as if it shouldn't create that normal. installed marmoset trial and did a quick render in it. messed with the settings a bit to try to show the edges. Also, in maya, there are no smoothing groups. we use soft/hard edges instead… -
Re: Share your blockin models...
for biped characters you really only need one or 2 simple meshes. find a nice clean simple layout. then use soft select to find your form. that should take 10, 15 minutes tops. same if your modeling to photo ref. you should really just get the gesture and basic proportions in the poly model. you should learn how to take…
