Re: Problem with the Maya Extrude Tool
It's expected to behave like that, Maya doesn't know what you plan on doing with it. Typically I run an edge loop first along the side, so I have the geometry for knocking out that side face. After the extrude, snap the face down to the loop: Move tool, hold d and v to adjust pivot -and- snap to border vertex and release.… -
Re: Normal Map Issues
I cannot tell 100% from looking at the picture, but it looks as if the lower poly vertex density is too low to cary the high poly silhouette without a few angle/lighting oddities. You may be able to adjust this in Photoshop (be sure to normalize your normal map w/ the Nvidia filter if you do), or perhaps adding extra edge… -
Re: 2.5D Snap in Maya?
Hi huffer, I see what you mean, I didn't realize the snap works as I expected by dragging just a single axis of the selection pivot. As you said, to align a vertex to another, requires two operations, but it is better than nothing. From my first impressions, Maya has improved a lot in the polygonal modelling area, in… -
Re: Modo 10 Announced
Interesting article Robeomega, I think that pretty much confirms Farfarer's vertex normal toolkit integrated into modo (which we all probably expected anyway). The improved viewport and WASD navigation are two things I've seen requested a lot in the past, though personally I'm uninterested in either. FBX improvements… -
Re: [WIP] Autopsy Theater Environment
I've worked on the lighting, but still haven't played with light coming in the the windows. I'm also thinking about blasting some light in from the cracks underneath the doors. I still haven't textured the x-ray machine, and the sinks. I also need to make the walls more interesting with some grunge decals and such. I'm… -
Re: Killzone 3 Environments
Wow, thank you thank you! I'm surprised I adore the particle work so much. That a rich variety of colors you've got going on there. Did you guys have any kind of color script? Also did you use much vertex blending in the snow levels or is most of the snow painted in? P.s. This is sooooo on the list:… -
Re: [WIP] Douglas DC-5
When I cut a hole, I normally make a square using the cut tool, then cut a cross through it . ie top to bottom and left to right and then I cut two more lines from top left to bottom right and top right to bottom left. I then chamfer the central vertex that has all of these lines attached, then inset a small amount,… -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #13 - March
Thanks GhostDetector. I wasn't really happy with the headpiece so I've taken it back into Sculptris today. I'm not sure if I am pushing the vertex/texture limit, but hopefully I can get this in low res. The helmet fits better with the hammer and anvil piece now. The moustache is trimmed down. @cagdasx44 - I was seeing… -
Re: WAYWO usage
not liking the recent direction of pc, what with being caused a leech and being demoted to vertex:) I am thinking of hanging out at zbrush central insted tbh I think there is a danger of having too many rules and regs so you end up strangling any freedom that we once had . The rot set in with that famous 'polycount is not… -
Re: Shadowing on models
my guess would be unwelded vertices... make sure you have converted it to editable poly, go into vertex mode, select all vertices (adjust threshold if needed) and weld...fastest way for this one might just be to re-do the whole damn thing from scratch, it's a mess, LOL sorry man. Looks like you can delete a lot of the…
