Re: Photosourcing and UVs
With characters, UV first, then texture. With environments, bit of both. I've actually played around with some rather crazy techniques for doing photosourcing. Here's one that I used for some exterior building models (Max centric): 1. Get flat on front/side/back shot photos of the building. 2. Take into Photoshop, cleanup,… -
Is it possible to have a python floating window with buttons that run MEL script?
Hi, I've created a toolbox with a bunch of buttons written in MEL. I'm wondering if I can port that window into Python without having to completely rewrite all the buttons, just re-code the GUI. And if so where should I go to learn how to create a Phython toolbox, I checked the Maya help and didn't really see a tutorial in… -
Re: Current project - work in progress
The church looks really promising :) The head however... It's weird. Most have already pointed out the flaws in it and the only thing I can add is that the mouth area looks flat and the lips are weird. References for the win! Keep it up though! -
Re: Sketchbook: Agostinuke
Under the lip of the doc you have a large, flat surface. I, if it were me, might break that up with another horizontal pipe and/or a drain or grating or even some vertical slats, to draw the eye up and help you ignore it. -
Re: [WIP] Sci-Fi Hallway
Hey Man looking good! If that pillar is supposed to suck in air at the bottom you could put some horizontal slats or some sort of vent on the bottom flat part. Make sure you get a blockout of your environment pretty early on. Keep at it dude! -
Re: Is decimating your model in environment art good or bad?
Every mesh gets triangulated in engine at the end. Identify the use case, if its a nanite mesh then decimated mesh is absolutely fine given it is within acceptable tri budget and tri distribution and has proper uv. For non nanite workflow, yes you will still have to optimize the geometry properly to be acceptable however… -
Re: First Environment (WIP) - Based on Simon Stalenhag's work
Ah thanks for showing the flats. I wish i could just do one texture per side like your but alas what im doing is way bigger. Giant floating island terrain and walls are a pain in the ass lol. -
Re: how to use displacement for bricks
Is this effect limited to flat surfaces? Is there an alternative method to achieve this effect? -
[WIP] Fiat Punto Abarth Evo
Well, first of all, I'm new here so introductions are in order. My real name is Nuno Quintas and I'm from Portugal. I started in 3d for about 2 and a half years by now, learning by myself with the help from the web. Now I've given myself a new challenge, lowpoly modelling and maybe, if i can, try to get a little game… -
Re: Quad Ngon Modeling Techniques
My problem with the UVyou're presenting is why not just make the sticker as a floater (separate mesh floating above your plug)? You won't have to rotate the texture awkwardly which loses a lot of detail, and the sticker mesh could be as simple as a flat quad.
