Baking curves with low geometry gives poor results, inevitable or fixable?
Hello, I'm creating a bake for this muzzle device that I'm working on, but I encountered an issue. Here is the mesh in full: And this is a closer look at the problem I'm having. It looks like my low-poly mesh cannot support the curvature of the high-poly mesh. At the points where the mesh is closest to the high-poly there… -
How do you setup your references in 3DS Max?
Hello, i've been lurking polycount for a long time. I've recently moved over to 3ds max, the modelling principles are pretty much the same as any other 3D package but I can't get the references right. If I use the background image option then the images don't align and there seems to be no way to adjust them. If I use… -

Fixing Smoothing Groups?
So I'm using 3ds max and I've always had trouble with the normals looking wonky on my meshes when I bake out the normals from a high poly mesh. I know that the cause of it is from the smoothing groups in the low poly mesh. I usually set the entire mesh to 1 smoothing group or auto smooth, but it doesn't always work. I… -
Re: On Why too much help stunts your growth
Hmm Plyc, maybe you should re-read the first post then ? Kevin himself does post his stuff, shows his wireframes and explains his process. The point is not about 'negating community' ; It's just that, when someone posts a picture of an amazing mechanical piece, complete with wireframes and even a short explanation of how… -
Re: Heroes and Villains Thread/Challenge
@TAN Hmmmm is it for a comic? It should be a character that originated from a comic or animated show based on comics e.g. Harley Quinn. Whos the character? @DavidCruz Ya I like making female characters Ive mad male characters at work so lol its the Ladies for my portfolio lol, Double check your proportions to these: Also… -
Re: Portfolio Critique - THANKS!
Personally, I like to give each project a page of its own - I was actually a bit confused when the x-wing appeared after I clicked on the chair. At the very least, clicking on the chair should move to the correct part of the props page. The wireframe views are also a bit confusing - at least to me. There are two x-wing… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Chris Zukowski - Environment Artist
100x better man! Now its just straight Boom! your folio. The lighbox stuff was fine for me this morning. Last nite was a bit slow. But tbh i dont use it anyway - i just rightclick open in new window. As i like to be browsing while a set of images load! Your model breakdown is missing 1 thing - A wireframe for the Asset.… -
Re: Scared of Polycount
They use proxy, so the insane objects are only loaded at render time. Vegetation for instance. Or objects are at subd 1 and only divided at render time And war render farms. You don't need to have everything turbosmoothed while working. You don't need to subd everything either. I don't think cgi models differ from hp for… -
Re: Mach 5 WIP.
What's the polygon limit for the low-poly? Looks somewhere around 1k already, were you given a budget to work to? What you got so far is looking okay, but difficult to tell from the shot what your topology is like, and without the windscreen makes it even more difficult. A quick tip for rendering wireframes from max- make…
