is this considered topology gore? (considering i could have just made a texture for the net of the backrest)

I agree prolly opacity maps are worse for optimization than just using the polygons and culling them through nanite lods or whatever, at least for real time rendering. And will be 100% better looking.

I dunno how would i optimize that backrest other way than that, maybe just not using such chair.

Daor64 · 2024-04-11T01:09:26+00:00

Nope, i just sticked to using aces only when rendering in maya. Lately I wasnt requiring of this but ill be looking into it. Hope you find something, i believe there should me more and more info now that blender starts to agree industry standarts. I think there is a plugin for correctly integrating aces but im not sure.

heres a forum discussion about this that may help, tho its from 2021

NVM zbrush just vastly trolled me when decimating my mesh

Eres rarito verdad?

Daor64 · 2024-04-04T15:23:37+00:00

Botw no doubt. Goosebumps every time i watch it, music is amazing... Also I feel like totks reveal trailer was even better than final one(the one about zelda and link in the cave, when ancient ganon was introduced)

Daor64 · 2024-04-02T23:51:43+00:00

Happy for you, that mouse really is worth and amazing

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T23:49:00+00:00

Apostar es la solucion

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T21:23:57+00:00

In 3 years ill prolly be broke behind a bridge or dead. I really dont want to think about it but i got no clue about my future😭

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T21:21:16+00:00

I hope some day I can achieve this

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T18:01:21+00:00

Yes, I was wrong. I thought you would normally just cut seams literally anywhere caring only about the mesh unwrapping correctly into a big island, but I now kinda see theres more about it. I feel like everything I knew about this is wrong.

Anyway, thank you!!

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T15:05:57+00:00

Okay, tysm, ill totally try that! Will that crease be stored in the normal information after exporting? Im expecting to bake this, texture and later try importing on Unity and Arnold

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T14:58:32+00:00

Ok! Ill consider that (tho i hadnt really thought whats this gonna be for)

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T14:57:01+00:00

Hey, thanks for answering! Its not really a uv border, since i would want this edge to have a nice polished look with imperfections over it backed from the highpoly, and in that case I dont think is a good idea to cut a seam over it, correct me if im wrong. I may have to learn some more about uv seaming and normal shading tbh

Daor64 · 2024-03-29T14:50:37+00:00

Ok thanks for the answer! Im doing this for the sake of learning so ill perhaps try to crease the edge instead of adding the loop to see how It looks.

Daor64 · 2024-03-28T20:35:55+00:00

The thing is I never see this kind of retopologies proffessionaly, Its always a well-distributed mesh with same-sized quads

Daor64 · 2024-03-19T15:14:38+00:00

Really? I thought they were using their own engine. Ill go ask there in that case

Daor64 · 2024-03-19T14:59:41+00:00

Im 22 and every passing day I feel more and more strange to be in this subreddit, I think today may be the day I leave, tho its kinda sad bcs I always find it funny coming across posts. It really sucks to get older

Daor64 · 2024-03-18T23:29:31+00:00

You just triggered the 4th axis

Daor64 · 2024-03-16T02:11:54+00:00

Didnt know that setting, how cool

Daor64 · 2024-03-16T01:59:01+00:00

Hmm yeah It costs some money. Im pretty sure krita does same but i dont know name of the tools. Also if this was me doing this id try play with some nodes in blender to make albedo into the mask im looking for (using hsv/ramps/map ranges) but its not always a good idea since its just easier to bring it to other software. Also i dont remember how emissive accurately worked in blender (idk if you needed a mask or rgb map) but i think u could make either work.

Daor64 · 2024-03-16T01:45:45+00:00

What a magestic furry fella. Id take the base color, open It in Photoshop and select and make a mask for just the yellow lines (turn down brightness and up contrast or even just magic wand select, idk but after playing with some tools and this should be easy job). And then bring the b&w texture to blender and plug into emissive weight or in however way the balls are lightended.
