i have sculpted some details in sculpt layers and i have a bump map in paint layer, which i have created with my diffuse map. Now, I want those sculpted details as a bump map or a normal map. Ok, If i export as a normal map then now i got 2 files in my paint layers (1) normal map and (2) bump map which i already have. Now, I want both details in one single map. normal map or a bump map.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a custom stamp in Photoshop. Done it with a 16 bits colorspace, saved as TIFF with the required options from the official documentation.
Why do i get a 'grainy' result, even painting with a 100% strength white color ? It happens only on a bump layer. On a diffuse layer, its ok.
Do the bump layer use a 8bits color space ???
I was wondering if it is possible use transfer details but just for some parts of the model, because sometimes you have parts that you don't want to affect the projection. I tried with freeze but doesn't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat I did was take screen shots of my model and went into photoshop and created the texture in black and white with an alpha. I bring it back into mudbox and into my stencils where I line it up. Then I select my sculpt brush and it works a little but it is not using the alpha very well. It sculpts the whole area instead of just the details areas.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use the sculpt layer symmetry feature to flip some detail onto another side of my model. Mudbox tells me that symmetry is not yet initialized. Some searching told me that I need to set the topological axis for the model. Which in turn tells me I need to select two adjacent faces.
The problem is that using Shift + S does not select a single face rather it selects the one under my cursor and the surrounding faces. Is there another way to select a single face?
I've made a basic character model and rigged it with CAT, then added some detail onto it in ZBrush. After using GoZ to get it back into 3Ds Max I couldn't get the rig to work properly on the sculpted mesh.
I tried copy/pasting the skin modifier from one mesh to another, while both meshes were located at about the same place, however this results in my envelopes floating somewhere above my mesh, and thus screwing up the animation.
Any way to somehow get a sculpted mesh onto a prerigged one, or would I just have to rig it again? (Which would be horrible since I plan on using the base mesh to create several characters. So I'd have to rigg every single one of them all over again.
I mouse scroll a lot and because my right hand is old and shaky it hits the screen edge frequently and an unwanted menu always pops up.

I've been trying to generate a speed bump in Smoke. I have a reference clip from FCP and I have to rebuild it in Smoke. What is the best way to do that?
If I have the clip in it's original lenght, and match the in and out points with the ref clip, then insert it in the timeline, so it's already sped up and the correct length, and then access the TW soft effect and start playing with the keyframes in the animation tab, i get totally messed up results... (and it doesn't matter if i have LOCK BOTH or LOCK OFF selected, it still doesn't work).
So how can i create the speed bump, and still have the same first and last frame like in the reference clip and also keep the same duration as the reference?

I was messing around with style editing, and added a texture map to a style as a bump. The bitmap I selected, however, was on my hard drive, not in the project search path. Now that I would like to check this part into the vault, I get the attached error message. I have since tried deleting, copying, moving the file from that hard drive to a legitimate search library.... removed it from every style it was used in, purged all styles, basically deleted it from every place I can find it, including going through the model tree and checking each individual feature (over 50!) to try to find it. It is still in the file somewhere, and I can't seem to figure out where. Is there no way to find and purge this offending bitmap?

Ideally I would like to use the nVidia normal map filter plugin - it's for Photoshop, and although, apparently, you can use some photoshop plugins, this one does not seem to work.
First question - is there a way to use the nVidia plugin?
Next - is there a Corel way?
I have created my own greyscale heightmap images and I can export red channel for alpha. Then I flood fill the red channel black and the blue channel white and export the RGB as the colour part. Creating a dds image gives me a pseudo bumpmap
BUT
Whenever I use this kind of bumpmap I get the effect I want on the aircraft models, but for some reason, "my" bumpmaps seem to remove the polygon smoothing of the 3D models so that when I "fly" the aircraft, I actually see the polygons instead of the smotthed mdl surface.This photbucket link shows what I mean.
The left hand image shows the original bumpmap on the original model. The next image shows modified artwork on the same model. Then I have change to a "D-i-Y" bumpmap and the last two show that although the desired bumps are there, I now have the wireframe polygons visible.
I would like to know how to change the colour of a single layered, single coloured gradient (foreground to transparent) image. There is nothing more to it than that other than I don't want to use the hue/saturation adjustment as it's hard to get a specific colour.

I see how Photoshop CS3 uses the History Log for actions, but can it be set up to not only record the step but what was done in that step, i.e., a History Log entry shows "curves" but doesn't show that a "darker" preset was used in that step.
I'm having trouble modelling smoothed polygon objects in non-destructive ways, meaning editing the poly model often messes up the TurboSmooth applied to it. Example pic below.
Some tips or tricks to add details to objects in a better way? I know about adding details using separate floating objects, but it doesn't look very good close up.
I don't know which version of Illustrator, there was this option where you could see all the details form objects or anchor points. But in CS4 I'm not able to find it. Some weird fuction key combi?

If not it would be a little awkward to achieve exactly the same result with a different file. As replacing references does´nt work with single view representation I´m stuck with manual- non constrained alignment of view details... which can´t be right I guess.
if there was a way to do it "right" without the need to switch to AutoCAD.

I'm trying to project a normal map from a high poly model onto its low-poly version but I'm having some problems.
I modeled some details on the high-poly model as you can see in FIG.1.
The details all have the same depth and everything as can be seen on FIG.2
But yet when the normal map renders, the detail loses depth the further they go from the center and the squarish detail at the bottom doesn't even show up at all. (FIG.3)
I tried pretty much everything I could think of to fix this, but nothing works.
