Welcome on the forum! Looking at the images, I would make sure those border UVs are straightened, since the bevel is very thight. Perhaps increase bevel width in highpoly, so there's more information to capture. Make sure to check at intended viewing distance, it might be that edge is generally too tight. I think this…
I've recently learned that edge detect node doesn't transfer over from designer to painter yet when exporting a material. I have two questions. The first is, does anyone know how i can export the material or a baked version of the outputs without using the actual substance in painter so that I can get roughly the same…
Hard question to word, basically in 3ds max I used to be able to use the Scale Tool to scale down some edges, but I could have the scale tool move to the last edge I selected, so when I scaled them the edges would stay in the same place but be scaled. How do I do that in Maya, when I try to reszie the edges they just move…
Like mentioned, studying/observation and practice is the key to improvement (I'll read "AAA" as "high quality"). Also asking for help if you're stuck, so good on you. I think the rough aesthetic is already there, but many elements look like guesswork or a bit random. One thing that stands out immediately is the wobbly…
As far as I remember almost any render , gpu and games one too that uses ray tracing is unable to "round" hard edge/split corners same good as rasterized render . It's always been that way . Have no idea why. Always been seeing those hard edges, especially from a shaded side.
Hi there :) Im having a bit of difficulty in zbrush producing good normal maps. My problem is to do with seams. If i make my mesh completely soft im still getting very hard edge seams in my normal map bake from zbrush and i dont really know why. My process is this; 1) Create low poly mesh inside maya & make a uv set.…
Hi! Do you have hard edges that are not split in the UV unwrap? On those you would get such artifacts. On the image I can't really make out mesh shading due to the small size and texture. What I'd look for is hard edges and whether the corresponding UV edges are split. Zip and attach the low poly mesh if you want it looked…
Yeah the multiple meshes thing is what I would think it would be set up like. Maybe like 3 states. A clean, A damaged, and a really damaged. Id imagine that in actual production they would have a mesh swap and hide it with some vfx smoke and other particles, like how they do their building destruction. I interpreted it as…
