Maya XGen: What's the best way to smooth guide tips to make hair less bumpy?
I have here a flat top hair style with all the modifiers turned off so it's just the base xgen. I'm attempting to smooth the top part but each guide adds a little hill. At first I had spare hair guides, which is usually the best way to go, but this only made the bumps bigger. Each guide I placed just made the hills… -
Re: Arm and Wrist Pain - how did you dealt with them?
For scale and rotate I'm trying to remember to use that, but I can't picture myself being very productive modeling without the Move Gizmo :S ...although I'm not very productive anyway, so that's probably not an issue either xD I keep my forearm reasonably in line with the hand and also no big movements, probably +/- 5cm I… -
Re: (NRM Bakes) I keep cooking but the food keeps burning, Need help with the Oven Setup
So I Found a forum, it is the smoothing groups after all. Apparently you should only bake with one smoothing group otherwise you get a mess.. I dont understand why. Example, if I bake with only 1 smoothing group on my HighPoly (my screws) they come out but it looks too smooth all around, if I distribute smoothing groups,… -
Baking details into a flat plane?
I've been playing around with this for a while, but I've noticed that large amounts of games have a lot of details baked into flat planes, especially for floors, walls, and ceilings. They supplement this with more 3D objects, but they still somehow get huge amounts of detail into their walls. I tried this myself using… -
Re: Substance painter bake problem
Hi! Can you make the bake files available so one can take a look? A problematic part is sufficient (e.g. arm part). If too large, upload somewhere, share link. Else: Check if transform is applied, no negative scale, no inverted faces. -

Re: Baking, Cage, Triangulated, Hard Edge, Normal Group, and Seams
Anyway; what I generally do is. * Keep the Quad LowPoly for final render. Sure, does look a bit cleaner than triangulated mesh for renders * Triangulate the LowPoly I want to bake. Save as Tris for baking. Triangulating is not always required but is definitly a good thing to do. On organic meshe the triangulation isn't… -
Re: Baking lights SUCKS!! Does your studio use dynamic environment lighting?!?
been on both side of the fence, personally i love lighting, we used to use a render farm when i baked full GI (beast equivalent) which took alot of the hassle out of it, maybe you need better tools to manage your uvs etc, baking for me went from being an utter hassle to pretty staright forward and enjoyable process aes the… -
Xnormal Baking Problem- Seams are showing, not baking proper.
Hi, I had a problem with baking the normal map in Xnormal and was wondering how to fix it. I baked the same character in Maya and it turned out fine. So it can't be the mesh that is the problem right? If anyone has any insight as to what the problem is, please let me know. -
Re: First semi-successful NM bake with some questions
@Bartalon, I have X-Normal but I've never really messed with it. I'll probably give it a try. The reason I keep trying to get proficient at RTT in Max is that some companies you might apply to jobs for might not use 3rd party apps. like that. Is X-Normal something that most game companies use on a regular basis? @Chase-…
