Re: LeeM Uni assignments + personal work
Hey Lee! The first thing I noticed is the spine, it could probably have a better curve in it. Other than that I think your poses are good, the movement in general looks good too but the arms and feet are very linear. It's missing an overall sense of weight and the head could use a bit more movement. I hope this helps! -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge August 2013 (10)
after a few hours of creating the pillar this is what i have : The way i did this is to bend it around a circle whit a non linear bend deformer, my question is is this a good way of doing things or should it be done diffrently? also i cant seem to figure out how to do the bottem circle on the pillar any tips? -
Re: Converting Rough/Metal to Spec/Gloss
Just invert the roughness map to get the gloss (although make sure it's in linear color space first). Most dielectric materials have very uniform spec values, so actually the spec will likely just be a flat dark grey (this is what a metalness shader will use for the spec anyway if you plugged in your albedo, metalness, and… -
Re: Warmachines , Character Scene
edit: I found out why its looking jagged on my pc and not my laptop, I have it on my pc to be set up for linear when I was doing my DS texturing a while ago....reason it looks that jaggedness and didnt even realise theres are all viewport grabs was why...my bad -
Re: Awesome old games, Go play them!
Super Castlevania Iv, i feel this was Castlevania at it's best. With the 8 way wiping and linear stage progression, it is 16 bit gaming bliss. I love SotN but to me Super Castlevania iv will always be number one. I was lucky enough to find it pretty cheap($25) and has not left my snes all week. -
Re: Updated thread : Critique topology designed for animation
when doing the quick rig, do the step by step option. It lets you change the binding settings. By default it is set to linear iirc, try setting it to dual quaternion, it should give you better results. The axis on your mesh seems to be rotated weirdly. Try freezing your lowpoly first so the transforms are reset. -
Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
Mongrel, here is my result with some tweaking: My settings: I imported your OBJ. Entered the 3D viewer. Adjusted the cage and saved it as a SBM. Reassigned the meshes and rendered with those settings. So I bet the problem was just the adaptive AA, the bias and the attenuation ( notice I set the linear atten to zero ). Hope… -
Re: darker parts because of normal map ?? ( in webviewer)
Yes that makes sense, you've got a tangent space normal map so object space should be disabled. Normal maps should always been in linear space too (sRGB off). If you accidentally load your normal map into the albedo slot it can get incorrectly flagged as sRGB and you'll need to change it in the texture options. -
Re: Getting Past Tutorials
I wouldn't look at it as a linear process of tutorials -> personal projects -> portfolio, but rather bounce back and forth. If you do a modeling tutorial, follow that up with your own model. Just keep the scope and complexity at a similar level. When you feel OK with the tools, then just jump in, problem solve, research… -
Re: 3dsmax UV normal map seams after file merge
When you work with normalmaps in photoshop. Be sure you don´t manipulate the color space. Normalmaps are in linear space. Maybe you are saving them in srgb colorspace by default out of photoshop. And like Steppenwolf said, this is a quiet simple asset. You don´t need to split it for baking. Just explode it to avoid…
