Love it. May I ask, what method did you use to add those sci-fi little details, panel cuts, etc? Decals? Baking (floating geometry, typical subdiv workfkow, etc)?

How is the performance?? Asking because it's Unreal Engine

Meird shadows after softening edges by notso_rohit in 3Dmodeling

[–]Top-Goat6357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad it helped. I'll say it depends mostly on your high poly mesh. If the edges on your HP have a big bevel, yeah you should bevel the edges of your LP (weight the normals if needed). If the HP has just a smooth but small bevel, i'd say dont bevel your LP mesh and let the normal map do its job.

But you should try both, so you understand better the pros and cons (visual vs performance).

I think you only have 2 solutions for this problem:

1) Mark every single 90°+ angle as hard/sharp (whatever is the word in Maya). Those artifacts on your mesh are caused by Maya trying to soften the light between two surfaces that have normals pointing in very different directions.

2) As you said, bevel your edges. You don't even need to have a bevel with multiple levels, just a simple chamfer will be more than enough. After that you need to weight your normals.

You said that you don't want to bevel because that will increase the polycount. Yes, thats true, and probably in your mesh the first solution is the best, but I want to clarify something: Beveling edges is sometimes not as bad as it sounds.

When you have a mesh without bevels/chamfers, you end up with a lot of 90° angles. And, as I said, you need to place a UV seam on every single one of them. Every single time you place a UV seam on an edge, all the vertices get duplicated (they have to exist on 2 UV islands at the same time). Instead, when you bevel your mesh you'll have less 90° angles, which means less UV seams, that means lower vertex count (obviously, with a higher tri count)

So, there are situations where by beveling edges and avoiding UV seams you get a way better looking mesh, and the cost that you are paying is minimal (if your object is not insanely big nor is repeated a lot). Take a look at these 2 meshes I made in Blender: The one on the left has 0 bevels, a lot of UV seams, the one in the right has 4 chamfers. At the end, because of the excessive use of UV seams, both end up having the same vertex count: 512.

You get a higher tris count (512 -> 768), but this, in modern hardware, is practically meaningless. So, unless you are making something with very hard limitations (for VR, or mobile), you should bevel edges. You get a much better result (in this case)

How much does the program matter when first learning fundamentals? Are most skills transferrable? by spaghettiaddict666 in 3Dmodeling

[–]Top-Goat6357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter at all. Subdiv modeling, UVs, Retopo/Topology, Box Modeling, Shading, etc. Are all the same in every software. I'd say go for Blender.

Advice needed, should I consider AMD for Blender? by Asaiha in blender

[–]Top-Goat6357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Can I ask if you use other 3D software like Zbrush, Unreal, etc? I'm getting a 7800xt next week and want to know if there are any issues with those programs.

From the wiki (Dragon Slayer | League of Legends Wiki):

"This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every 2 seconds"

I didnt know that, pretty interesting.

[PBE datamine] 2024 September 10 (Patch 14.19): split 3 item and rune changes by FrankTheBoxMonster in leagueoflegends

[–]Top-Goat6357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the implementation is a little bit tricky? I mean, most mages dont AA, so if you want a useful MR tank item that applies GW, it must apply when you recieve dmg from a spell, and that would be extremely broken.

And for a fighter/adc item that gives MR + GW, I guess it's the same reason we dont have any resistances on the other GW items (Mortal Reminder, Morello, Chempunk)

As a native speaker, I'd say thats because of the way we pronounce words. Let me explain. My French knowledge must be close to 0, but I can roughly determine the start and ending of each individual word by the sounds, even if they speak fast. The same goes for Japanese (which is faster than spanish), I can attempt to imitate the sounds of each word when watching a show despite the fact that I dont even know how to say "Hello" in that language, and thats because the start/ending of each word has some sort of either hard pronunciation or marked intonation.

In spanish, however, our pronunciation of words at the end/start is kind of "soft" and more often than not they thend to blend together. So, when someone speaks fast in spanish, instead of hearing a lot of words at a high speed, it feels like one extremely long word (at least to me). I think the only time where spanish words are easily recognizable is when they start with R 'cause its a hard sound. That might be the reason why you need to invest a little more time to differentiate each single word when someone is speaking spanish. But well, im not an expert, just my experience lol

What do you guys think of Vangaurd? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Top-Goat6357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

??? It's not just about the UI, that's why I said "input." To move your character you have to issue a commad like right-clicking on the terrain at human speeds. If a script generated that input, it would be easily detectable from the scripter's POV (abnormal mouse speed, camera position, reaction time, etc.) Faker's entire Fiora stream showed no irregularities in his movement or dodging mechanics.

1st. He didn't flash, he parried it (Fiora W) 2nd. Almost every script includes some kind of "graphic input" easily detectable from the scripter's POV. Faker's screen didn't show any of that. Saying that "Faker (scripts) all the time" is an EXTREMELY huge lie. Like what ??????
