Re: UVmapping Highres Assets?
Try this mate, Turbosmooth iteration level 1 > Unwrap then Turbosmooth iteration 1 or 2 or as much as you want. These is a reason why most top teir concept artist who have switched to 3D are now using less sub D and making more hi poly stuff without it. Edge flow is the key here. Since with mid level model where you ll… -
Re: Some Halo Wars Assets (Image Heavy)
Thanks for all of the kind words guys, I truly appreciate it! Salman: The majority of the assets above used One 512x512 set (Diffuse, Normal, Spec). A few of the larger ones used Two 512x512s, and smaller ones would use 128-256. It was a lot of fun and challenging to work with lower res textures. I really learned a lot… -
Re: UV mapping techniques
There's a automatic unwrap technique I use in 3d Max. What I do is take a box or cylinder. Open the uvw unwrap editor. Go into edge mode, then make breaks in the edges to create opening seams. Then go into face mode after the seams are established, and select the whole mesh. Then go into relax mode and select "Relax By… -

Re: Support
2) Now this may not be intended to work this way or perhaps my thinking is incorrect but I ran into an issue such that when I generated a specular map from a normal map I lost the normal map. Fortunately, I had a good height map I had already generated from the original normal map so I figured I could just convert the… -
Re: 3DS Max Make Planar to existing Geo
I understand what you mean and i have tried it. You can use scale with local transform on every second face on the strip and then on the other half. But it will always change some vertices you dont want since they are shared, hey. So I think what you want would be possible to programm or script i guess with a heuristic… -
Re: next Gen + hand painted possible?
I don't know that I agree with this as you can quickly iterate a sculpt and make sweeping changes. If you're hand painting on a low poly model, it's tough to make large changes after you've laid out your UVs, whereas with a sculpt you can quickly iterate large changes with different subtools. Once you bake down the ao,… -
Re: decimating crashing - zbrush
also (using sphere3d instead of the polysphere is CRUCIAL) open up your first iteration when you imported you basemesh, i hope you have iteration, go into the export tab under tool and write down the values you have there, there have to be cryptic values, if 1,0,0,0 is written there, something is off and it will come back… -
Re: Sketchbook: Luxap
Updated the scene, added some smaller foliage, some initial blockouts for the rocks and added some World aligned moss growing on top of them. It feels like I am getting closer in terms of lighting, still not quite there yet tho! To give you an idea of where I am going with this I added one of my references. Looking at this… -
Re: [WIP] ~ Dice Man
I really like the concept too, there are some stuff I would have changed, like the fingers being all the same length. But you seem to be conception still and might have changed all of it at this rate. Same goes for the helmet, the bandana is very well done, but then you had something flat coming up behind it. But in the…
