Want that in LS52 !

[Marble (LS5)]

I thought about that. Ima make it happen.

UPDATE!

[ShadowTG]

Woah, that looks really damn good.

You should really give the shirt a neck scruff, don't want to make it seem like the shirt is a part of your body now do you?

[samcrossette]

Nice !

[Marble (LS5)]

It will not work any other way than this.

Does anybody know any way I can smooth the mouth on the cutscene model? It's really bugging me. And before you try to be clever and say: 'Use the 'Smooth' modifier', it doesn't work :/

You probably need to assign smoothing groups. 3DS Max has what are called smoothing groups which are just numbers that are assigned to polygons. If the polygon is part of the same group, it gets smoothed along with other polygons in that group.

You can find the smoothing groups when you select either face, polygon, or element in the modify panel (works with edit poly or edit mesh), and scroll down until you see a bunch of numbers clustered together. Those are the smoothing groups. You can select by face, polygon, or element and then click one of those numbers.

Tips:
-The easiest thing to do is keep the parts separate (mouth, eyes, spikes are separated as elements, i.e. their polygons are not connected to the rest of the body) and select the element, then select the smoothing group. The whole mouth or whole arm or whatever can be assigned a group all at once.

-Only polygons that are attached to one another (vertex's are welded), and part of the same smoothing group, are smoothed together. To see what I mean, create a sphere. Now, detach one side of the sphere. It is part of the same group, but is no longer welded to the rest of the object and so it appears to have a separate smoothing group on one side!

-Be sure to use a different group for polygons that are not to be smoothed together. Sharp edges for example should have 2 separate smoothing groups to keep the edge from being smoothed. This can also cause issues with Sonic strangely leaning to one side in Blitz Sonic stages that have messed up smoothing groups.

Wow, that's pretty impressive, though That kind of thing looks incredibly....familiar.....



It looks just like the models I'm working with for my mentorship.

[SonicHyuga]

Mudbox, huh? Now I'm interested.

which is why it is best to have a seperate model with no smoothing whatsoever being the collision and a copy of the collision mesh WITH smoothing. Plus, that vertex welding thing you said helped me a LOT. I was trying for hours looking for what to make the non-pseudo-quad faces of my stage smooth with each other

And the smoothing is fixed! Edited the textures to make it look more like a Sonic 4 render, and I think I succeeded. Tails and Knuckles next!

v1. Will flesh out the details later.

Falcon Armor FTW.

[Twi]

I need help with deciding. On which is better, since I edited my cg model to be lower poly like Studios have their works.

This is how I had it today.


This is the render of it.


This is what I did today!

This is the Render for it.



Help me decide since I'm in need of knowing, if I should continue to lower the poly on the rest of the model.
