Member hexadecimale Posted August 23, 2016 Member Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hello, Ok I create a 3D model of a pod racer, granted it is based of Anakin pod racer. It has multiple elements that shape the pod racer as a whole. I modeled it in maya and UV'ed in Maya. My plans are to get those elements to 3D coat , then to substance designer, then back in maya, rig, animate, render a high cage onto a low poly as if it was for games. In 3D coat: 1) I added subdivision and surface count, or, voxel = 20ies million triangles. 2) I added some relief with Alphas 3) Now I want to add some cavities and get some occlusion and some normal maps of that high triangle model. In a previous post, I understood I had to retopo the 23 million tri mesh to get a UV again because UV mode would not display the voxel high resolution model. 3) As a test, I quickly retopo'ed the high model quick and dirty. I unwrapped fast ( it was fun and quick by the way I like 3d coat retopo operations! ) 4) but then a major issue arose and I do not understand what is next, what is the workflow, perhaps I misunderstood 3D coat because I cannot figure a solution on my own or with video tutorials on youtube. What needs to be next? a) I believe I should bring the retopo to UV room so I can have a little better UV with perhaps less seams? But i would be fine as a test if I have to skip somehow, then.... b ) Do I go to paint room to: add cavity, extract normal maps, extract occlusion maps? 3D coat is really cool but the more I dwelve in the past couple of days, the more confused I become Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Ballistic_Tension Posted August 24, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 The Retopo Room Has its own UV Tools you use them in the retopo room . Do all your UV s in the retopo room . you DO NOT go to the UV ROOM as your photo above ! (you will not see model there) That room is for when you 1st bring a model into 3dc to the Paint Room 1st and if that model has uv s with it to work on / see those UVs you would then use the UV ROOM. Re: cap Paint , Tweak , UV these rooms go together. and Sculpt , Retopo go together ( retopo has its uv tools in it so then you can bake and move on to the paint room or just export out all maps. Hope it helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
