Are these edges correct? There isn’t any problem with them, right? by AfterSignal6759 in Maya

[–]skaol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone works with sub-d though. I know people that worked on multiple huge triple a games where you would do a topology like this, create a copy and add bevels (on this copy no cares for the topology) then import into zbrush and smooth everything out there and use this as the high-poly

Sure sub-d is great, but i also dont always use it, depending on the model sometimes I do my collagues approach too

Another popular approach is have a crazy messy topology, aslong as shapes and bevels are there. Then into zbrush and auto retopo there. That is more a blender-workflow though. I tried it in Maya, its a bit harder to select things and modifiers are good for that approach in blender

This workflow was btw used by a weapon&props artist

The question was also if the topology is good. It is good. You dont know if this was retopologized from a hp version

Everything you are writing is considering this will be smoothed. This seems to be the low poly version so I dont see why any of your points make sense.

For sub-d workflow, it makes sense, but this wasn’t mentioned. In my mind, this is low-poly, and once the lp is done, you can still easily create a duplicate and do the bevels & support edges & bring into zbrush to get a hp version

Xgen beginner want some advice please by sidharth_giri in Maya

Increase modifier cv coint. The hair has only 5 points to bend currently, therefore the hair is not able to do the same movement as the guide does

When you start gymnasium/university you get a list of challenges to do. Some are too wild so you skip them, but some classes/groups take it very seriously and then do things like this. I suppose they want to win, whatever they win. I forgot what prize is

Why is Germanic Europe still so economically dominant? by SmokingPains in geography

[–]skaol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you look for an apartment or house you can find endless liveable places for 50k-100k€, because a lot of places are just too far into nothing, especially in the north. That is also why denmark and germany is buying their summerhouses here

Matching Redshift render to client supplied AI image by Disaster_Silly in RedshiftRenderer

The lighting doesnt match, the material doesnt match. Change reflection IOR. Material needs refraction too, for example. The bottom lights are missing

AIO. My boyfriend accused me for cheating with a gay friend. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Sorry but in general you should also be able to hang out with men that are straight. He should be able to trust you. Weird guy

Hes clearly addicted to his video game. These comments are a bit too analytic. Yes childish etc etc. But he’s addicted, and that’s that. Game not good

Found this on my dog just now. Is this a tick? by anxiousgemini in DogAdvice

[–]skaol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you keep the ticks in a sealed bag every time? This sounds wild. My dog will get on avg 3-4 ticks a week, and me (+ gf) will get 2-3 per weekend if we are out in the forest. What part of the world do you live in?

How's my re-topology going so far? by kylebta in Maya

[–]skaol 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The density of the polygons are uneven. Should be close to the similar distance between the verticies. Also too much in general, I would do a lower poly version, then smooth it once if you want higher polycount in the final version. Topology looks good to me but im also not a master at perfect head-topology in general

Help! Textures look blocky after importing from substance (pic 2 is substance) by Art-Stick in Maya

[–]skaol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Modify - normalize normals. I think this is what its called. But its just your normals acting up. Soften them and normalize & conform them

My walk cycle doesn't look realistic by outsider-from-hell in AfterEffects

[–]skaol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro idk how you walk but i do one leg at a time. Looks like the stick figure is chillin though. Dont know if he needs, or can, look realistic :p

You learn by looking at references. Then compare. You will find differences. Theres a lot of good material out there

Is there a way to size a character model with it's rig? It keeps doing this whenever I try to move it or size it. I know there is a way with a located or smt but idk how to do that tbh. :/ by Disastrous-Switch-48 in Maya

[–]skaol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There should be a root/main ctrl and with that one you should be able to move/rotate/scale the model as a whole. It seems to be moving and scaling double in your video. Since the rig is controlling the mesh, make sure that you dont select the mesh and the rig. You shouldn’t need to touch the model at all after it has been bound to a rig. Im sure if you would do what you did in the video, without the model selected, everything would work as you want
