Re: issue in marmoset when using normal map
I cant shake off the feeling that this has everything to do with Marmoset's relation to smoothing groups. Whenever your nmap is being generated in xnormal and Max, the lowpoly's own smoothing is taken into account; the nmap is crafted to the lowpoly smoothing that is there at the time of render. I've never used Marmoset,… -
Re: Dota 2 - Workshop Thread
there is two different smooth in 3d the mesh smooth and the normal smooth mesh smooth is hw you divide you poligon in smaller poligons, so a quad becomes 4 quads, then 16, then... when you smooth the normals you mantain the number of polygons and reduce the number of vertex normals each vertex has at least one normal, if… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2011 Edition!
I think your mesh looks good, but it seems it's triangulated or the smoothing groups are messed up. If you want it smoother, just add smoothing groups in max. select the element (hotkey 5) and hit autop smooth to start, then take off the smoothing where you want it to be rough. Another option is to take that mesh if it has… -
Re: And my axe! Hardsurface, Hipoly, C&C needed
is your high poly mesh smoothed grouped as well? Because your low poly mesh is what is getting its information from the high. from what i understand in my app, the uv layout of the low poly mesh is just telling the highpoly details where to go. And its from the high poly version that all the smooth groups etc are being… -
Re: Basic topology exercises Giz
Hi again ! The link to your portfolio clarifies it. I personally quite like how it reminds me of some earlier 3d pieces when people were experimenting with various approaches at their disposal or with this or that new plugin that just came out because processes (as well as popular art styles) weren't as unified as they are… -
Re: Blender Mega Thread
So how does smoothing/sharp edges work in Blender? For example, I'm attempting to sharpen edges where my UV islands are, to support my hard surface geo; but Blender seems to only be able to smooth EVERYTHING or flatten/harden every face & edge. A previous mesh I worked on, in Blender, I was able to mark edges as sharp, and… -
Re: Low Poly Character WIP
yeahh i thought it looked higher than 4k when you mesh smooth a 4k model you get a 16k model and that is with lowest setting smooth. in mesh smooth turn iterations to 0 and check render value iterations and turn that number up to 1 or higher, and then it will only smooth when you render, if you see the smoothed model in… -
Re: Shading Problem
Looks like you baked the mesh without smoothing the normals. Look at your normal map. Do you see the same seam lines? If not, simply smooth the meshes normals and apply your material to that and you should be good. My guess is you wont, because it is displayed correctly in Painter. So most likely you exported a different… -
Re: [WIP] AR-15 (300blk short barrel)
Guys, I'm having a serious wtf problem with max... I started working on the bolt and am having serious smoothing issues. It started as I was reparing a few accidentally deleted faces. I was toggling the turbosmooth to check for missed welds and what not, and noticed some inconsistent smoothing: Here is what the verts look… -
Re: the dragon
[ QUOTE ] I'm trying to get it to be about as smooth and round as I can get it. [/ QUOTE ] It shouldn't be about making the silhouette smooth, it should be about making the silhouette detailed. I think that's what you're not really getting here. Basically, you've got a mesh which does not resemble the human form. You…
