Re: Learning current-gen workflow
Well. Basically everything was done badly with your mesh, even if we don't care about the different smoothing on the 2 sides. errors: 1 - When you use mirrored or overlapped uvs, you need to offset the uvs. 2 - If you want the mirrored/overlapped uvs with one smoothing group, then the uv need to be split along the… -
Re: High Poly Modeling Tools
I learned a trick at work, that saves me alot of time when doing HP models. You still have to do some of that chamfering, but more than often not. Unless you want super tight/hard edges. Basically, you just apply a turbosmooth modifier, set its iterations to 2, and turn on smooth by smoothing groups, or something like… -
Re: Some Maya Questions
1- never experienced this are you sure you havent got something like "create uvs in new set" tagged 2- yes look in display-polygons-custom poly display, lots of powerfull stuff in there too. 3- you can relax, or smooth using the sculpting tools, which if you want to do it across the whole model select what you want… -
Re: BMW Progress/Problems
Back from the weekend, I worked on the body. I'm not fond of the end result. Seems bumpy. Is it fine? --'Seems' Between Car Parts-- How do I create the 'seem' between car parts? Last time I attempted this car I modeled the entire exterior, minus lights and windows, as one object; then separated each section, the fender,… -
Re: [Max 8] Retaining selection between modifiers?
ahh yes Material ID that would be another good way to handle it. I've been away from Max for a full week and already the lingo is leaking out of my brain hahaha. If you can't use mat id's or smoothing groups then the element option might work. Here's the nuts and bolts of how it goes. In Edit poly you can select the faces… -
Re: Maya Normal Not baking High Poly. Please Help!!!
Are you using smooth preview(ie: pressing 3 on your keyboard) to smooth the high? For baking you need to use mesh -> smooth, not smooth preview. -
Re: How to Post on the Internet
Sure, shading issues in Blender can be frustrating but are often solvable. It sounds like you've encountered a common challenge with geometry and smoothing groups. Double-check your normals, ensure edge splits are applied correctly, and consider adjusting auto smooth angles. Feel free to share the picture later for more… -
Re: unreal/quake style fps gun
Yeah, it was a hack job on my part, which further goes to prove my point, that you need to set up your uvs differently, if you want them to work well with smoothing groups. For this to work well you also need to your renderer to not split the edges on your cage mesh, the latest version of max does this. The model you're… -
Re: [Solved] Blender Face weighted normals (controlling bevel weights?)
So I tried adjusting my smoothing angle on the auto smooth function, but that simply changed the areas that the incorrect shading appears. Then I turned to flat v. smooth shaded base under the data transferred face weight normals. flat simply creates more pronounced shading errors. which can be seen with and without the… -
