Re: Knald - Master Thread
No problem! The reason you are not seeing the smoothing is because the high poly mesh has lots of smoothing groups/hard edges or is exported as faceted. Removing this smoothing fixes the issue. Below I just exported the mesh with a single smoothing group and everything baked as expected. Hope that helps! -
Maya Ambient Occlusion help - faceted results
I've been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what it is that I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to bake out some AO for a lo-poly character and I always get a faceted result, like I have all my edges set to hard edges (no smoothing groups). I've done this a tonne of times in the past with far less dense mesh… -
Problem with Maya Beziers: new beziers' tangents all break by default
(I'm on Windows 7, Maya 2015 SP6) I have no idea when did this start, but recently all newly created beziers have their tangents broken by default. The creation tool worked properly (both the Bezier and the Curve-3 Bezier tools), but once the tool's completed, all the tangents break. Using the Smooth Tangents option on… -
Re: Weird edges when using decimated model as high poly for baking
Yes It's possible, but the problem is that Zbrush doesn't display interpolated shading at all, only hard edges (as if all faces were split, or as if all edges were set to hard). Meaning that the visual result in Zbrush will be misleading if any of your later steps display the model as smooth shaded. The first thing you'll… -
Re: Help a maya newbie plz!
weld your mesh up first, before applying the smooth. persnally i hate the way it handles smooth preview, and prefer how other apps handle it, most allow you to export the mesh with smooth preview, and it exports the subdivided, and smoothed version, but maya dosnt everything needs to be applied before export, or bakes. -
Re: 3ds Max/Zbrush: Proboolean + Dynamesh hardsurface workflow tutorial
The way to create UV shells by smoothing groups in Max should be fairly straightforward. Do your selection(s) in edit poly by smoothing group (smoothing groups dropdown), open the UV editor, break the group off and relax. Boom! Instant UV island by smooth group. Rinse and repeat this process. -
WIP Lid Ridges Possibly from Skin Weighting
hey guys ive done my best to make the edge flow on the lids smooth in the skin weighting however in smooth mesh preview i still have these little ridges? Does anyone know what I can do or change in the scene to make it smoother? (Smooth brush just messes up the edge flow) __________________ The scene files is attached… -
Re: THRONE ROOM The Necromancer's Library Orb
Thx guys but no I won't finish (I will! but not for this contest X) nothing crazy with the baking, the main idea is to avoid gradients as much as possible, starting from the smoothing groups. If you don't have any gradients on your smoothing group or any weird triangles, you have more chances to avoid potential artifacts… -
Re: Greevar's WIPs
Planks look better, roundness looks better too. You're getting there, don't give up on it, learning how to do a quality bake is very important, and this is a good simple asset to hammer away on. When you get onto more complex stuff you'll be happy you went through the entire process with this. It now looks like your metal… -
Re: Casual Bakery
Okay, so if you check out the article about the smooth shading on foliage, you mentioned, you see that there is an example for grass too. I can see how somewhat unclear it is of how what to do in the case of grass, but its actually pretty simple. You want the same smooth normals on the cards on the ground, as on the tree…
