Re: Annie Mei
Very lovely work! I have a question... so you did your retopo in Zbrush? And used a low poly version of her and projected the high poly? And that was all in Zbrush? Sorry, I'm extremely curious how you do this.. I've never gone past the sculpting stages and I'd love to do so. My initial idea was to make the Sculpt. Take… -
Re: Problem with normal bake (XNormal)
If you simplify the lowpoly mesh and remove those grooves from the handle your bake will come out cleaner, they barely effect the silhouette anyway and this is the sort of detail the a normal map can handle well. This will also reduce the likelyhood of smoothing errors depending on where the model is going(which engine… -
Re: [Maya] Smoothness without having too many polygons..
Easier to see for yourself, I think. https://drive.google.com/open?id=15Bzfh2tuDTYK1I7ZsoXTeXwi9tKIWZw7 Import this obj, and set it to smooth preview with 3 as well as opening the UV editor and using the checkerboard preview. Now in the Attribute editor, under Smooth Mesh>OpenSubdiv Controls, check out the different… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Kindom of the Rock - Labmonkey and Daedalus51
Haha...yeah, we were a bit lazy with updates :D So here is also a last minute one from me while I wait for the final light build to finish ;) I was manly working on all the materials and setups, the scene itself, the outer throne shell and some rocks. For the rocks I used photoscanning as a base. This is one of the final… -
Re: Maya to photoshop workflow question
Have you tried those tutorials? They make it pretty clear what you need to do. 3D paint is a good way to identify areas on your model, and show where they are in your texture. But another good way to do this is to assign solid colors to your highpoly, to stand in for different materials. Metal. paint, leather, skin, etc.… -
Re: Are triangle counts a thing of the past?
well with tesselation and displacement you could get your mesh to eat up a whole bunch of polygons very fast, however ever the tesselated mesh would still be pretty simple. and be it for rigging and skinning purposes. a fully modelled character will rarely ever have 1 million unique triangles, subdivision comes to mind to… -
Re: Ambient Occlusion seams
Have you set up a cage in XN or you using the default ray distance settings? If using the ray distance settings you'll get seams along any hard edges/smoothing group splits. Try exporting your cage from max, or even just setting the normals to averaged in the lowpoly options tab in xnormal to see if that fixes it. Though… -
Re: [CE3] Cliff modeling
Is the client looking for a technique to do rocks or this one rock? If it's a technique, how you go about creating your lowpoly isn't as important as how you create your texture and how you blend them. Since this is cryengine, look up how they did the moss in Ryse. There's a post here on polycount. If you decide to use… -
Re: XNormal Bake Experimentation
I found Curvature depends heavily on the scale of my meshes. I adjust the Scale first, setting the highpoly and lowpoly to something like 10. Or if my meshes are large I go smaller like .1. I like Two Colors, so it's just convex/concave with flat being black, makes it easier for me to see and use. A higher Bias seems to… -
Re: Portrait Render
Alright, so I'm working on the sculpt right now (around 5.5m verts I believe). I think I'm pretty much done, I want you guys to see if you have any suggestions & tips before I move on. Also, I wanted to ask, would you normally export this mesh to render as is, or always bake onto a lowpoly version 1st? And if bake, then…
