mopKnit v1.1 for Maya
Hey folks, Inspired by the slideKnit Maxscript which EricChadwick linked to recently, I figured Maya deserved something similar. Basically it breaks a polygon mesh along its UV seams and deforms it to the UV layout in world space, creating a blendShape which you can use to transform it back to the original shape. This… -
Timeless Epoch (Procedurally Generated)
Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/muqaddasaman Hey Polycounters! Just wrapped up my final MA project — Timeless Epoch — and I’m super excited to share it here. 1.

Re: Normal map to vertex normals?
Yes, my baldycap mesh has identical placement of vertices, and matching normals at each point. Their head normal map isn't very flat there, and leads up to a large bump for the cowl. This isn't final low poly or normal map, I want to get the seam solved first, since that area won't change from here on. (and make a real ear… -
Re: Crit my portfolio
Thanks for the tips Mike, I'm revising the layout atm. Dunno about nixing the 1px borders, I kinda like them :p Nixed lightbox, will update renders later on with complete specs in one sheet. The borders actually made with CSS rather than Photoshop btw. And whats_true, I mentioned in the first post that I know it's not… -
Re: Portfolio Check Please
You site feels very cluttered. Honestly, I didn't want to stay on it too long cuz of the layout. I tried one 3d viewer thing and it didn't work. I would axe all of those. Also, I would do another texture pass on most of your stuff. You don't need to show concepts for all of them. You can just credit the artist in a short… -
Re: udk blockin, why bsp?
It's also considerably quicker to layout levels using brushes, seeing as you can just slap a few brushes down and iterate without dealing with more than one application and the export / import process. IMHO, levels blocked out within the editor using brushes usually play considerably better than those that are not. This is… -

Re: UV's in Maya and Max
Really good information, thank you. Does Max have a layout feature to uniformly layout your uvs like Maya? This way once I select all the meshes I can lay them out in 0/1 in one shot without needing to place all the shells by hand? [/B][/B]QUOTE=Mark Dygert;1355196]Nope, it's going to make a mess. Load the UV's for each… -
Re: [PORTFOLIO] Emma Smith
Maybe if we were talking about an exemplary and complete portfolio, then we could nitpick the layout and presentation creativity. If your work is strong, your work is strong. That will make you stand out much more than any spiced up layout. I think the critique should focus on the quality of the art pieces because her… -

hi I created some curtains in marvelous Designer and retopologized the curtains in maya, now i have to texture, but when I bake the high-poly curtains to the low in Substance Painter, it's awful because of the folds and swags. Can anyone advise on how you use complex curtains inside the engine? Do I need to bake or can i…
