Questions on a general overview of environmental modelling
Hi folks This will be my first post on this forum and I would like to apologize on beforehand if it gets really long, oh and train of thoughty. I'm kinda writing this as things come to me. Firstly. I'm a 2nd year 3D college student and I really would like to break into environmental modeling. I love to work with zBrush and… -
Re: Shader - Sharpen Texture/ Detail/Color Project Process?
I'm not sure reflection is the right one to use now I've looked into it more thoroughly after Xolihul's message. It appears to be distorted at the edges - the normal used for specular lighting. (averaged between surface normal and surface-eye normal?) If you're using no normal maps feed a 0, 0, 1 vector into the transform… -
Re: zBrush - LP Creation
Most people bake maps using an external program like xNormal. You can 'colour' your mesh in zBrush via Polypaint - a tool which essentially allows the user to paint over the geometry using the faces as reference data! You can activate this by hitting the "Rgb" or "Mrgb" tabs. There are ways of baking… -
Re: [WIP] DaYong | Real-time Environmental Model | Chinese Style
Week Four Day 1- Work Day Day 2- I spent a lot of time trying to fix the seam issue on the height map in Photoshop. Then tried many ways to convert the height map to a normal map or generate other maps based on the height map in Substance Painter. Something I found during the process that I need to keep in mind for the… -
Re: Why does my cubemap look like this :(
Looks like compression artifacts in your normal map. Try normalizing your normal in the shader - as well as keeping the texture itself normalized before importing - that'll help a little. Ultimately, there's probably not a whole lot you can do other than that (aside from leaving the normal map uncompressed, but that's a… -
Re: Old Newspaper Machine prop
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I did go a little heavy handed with of the micro detailing and added more wear than was in the reference. I actually have a question I ran into after I started this thread regarding that. One thing I'm not sure about with substance painter is the normal map. Even after all the detailing,… -
Re: Is my low poly the cause of my bad bakes?
There are couple problems with your normals. From top to bottom: - left side of your geometry after I oriented all normals in Houdini - left side of you geometry directly after I downloaded it - right side of your geometry after I oriented all normals in Houdini. Notice that there is a big problem with you polygon where… -
Re: TreeGen, a 3DS Max script that generates cheap realtime trees.
It looks really cool and usable. Can wait to test it. One posible feature request is to allow user to adjust normals of the leaves, so all the normals have same direction. -sometimes its handy But as far as my experience go - normal adjusting is not well supported in max. There is only edit normals modifier - but once you… -
Re: 3ds Max conform tool
Simply use Conform, along vertex normals, but invert the normals before hand on both items. F'rex, your cube is inside a sphere. Reverse the normals so the inside of the sphere and the inside of the cube are the "surface", and use Conform. Boom, your cube expands to fill the sphere. Reverse the normals once again if you… -
Re: engelik Sketchbook
of course i don´t mind =) that's exactly why i have a sketchbook, to learn ;) hey! the spec aint only a darken version! look at the glass! :p yeah i guess the vent could use a nice spec too.. the window metal is rusted so i guess isn't very reflective. the process for the normal was: --a partir do difuse fiz um mapa com…
