    At first i was skeptical, making something high poly for a low poly end result seemed countproductive, but this was actually really fast and easy!

    • @DigitalDreambox
      @DigitalDreambox  2 года назад +3

      It probably is a little much but you should see the work I put into a ZBrush sculpt only to decimate it down sometimes haha. The nice thing about creating something more high poly first is that you can choose how much you want to reduce so that the density matches your art style. For example I prefer more triangles on bigger rock forms. You can definitely get the same look moving vertices around but I just wanted to show a different approach.

    Hi! I am really liking your tutorials so far! I was wondering if anyone knew why we change the face uniformity from 1 to 0, for the final step in creating the rock?

    • @DigitalDreambox
      @DigitalDreambox  3 года назад +2

      Hi it depends on the look you want. The first time that you adjust face uniformity and increase it to 1 you are trying to make the quads roughly the same size. This is ideal for the sculpting phase to have evenly spaced topology. The second time when we drag the slider back down to 0 we are essentially asking Maya to make the quads fit whatever the mesh needs. This can change the way the triangles look when we go into the Reduce phase. Sometimes adding a Remesh phase before the Retopologize phase can further change the look of the decimation.

      Hi if you on an older version of Maya you may be able to access the Remesh and Retopology feature through the Command Line. Select your mesh and then enter polyRemesh; for Remesh or polyRetopo; for Retopologize. After that open your Attribute editor and look for either the polyRemesh1 or the polyRetopo1 tabs and you should be able to change the settings there.

    hi! i had a question. i heard we were supposed to stick to quads only? are we triangulating because of the hard edges?

    • @DigitalDreambox
      @DigitalDreambox  3 года назад

      Hi I used triangles here mainly for look. Triangulating is fairly common in low poly art but you can replace it with quads if that's what you like. Modeling using quads is a cleaner process though when it comes to edge flow, sculpting, and Sub-D modeling.

  • @ktm4059
    @ktm4059 3 года назад

    If I'm hitting "b" on the keyboard and only having the entire model light up as yellow (no oranges or reds like in your example), despite selecting a few vertex is there something else that might be turned off? Currently the whole object still moves when I try to move a piece or a section of it.

    • @DigitalDreambox
      @DigitalDreambox  3 года назад

      Hi it's probably because your brush is really large. You will need to click and drag to change the size or open up your Transform tool window by double clicking one of the tools for example the Move tool. Then look for Soft Selection and you can adjust the Falloff radius there. After that when you change the brush size with the B key you should be able to see it in action. Hope this helps.

    Ive run into a problem within the Modelling Tools and using the 'Add Divisions' tool. It does not divide all the faces, and instead opts to only divide faces within a select connected band around the tetrahetron. When trying to add divisions selectively to the faces one at a time, some of the faces choose to not divide at all regardless of the fact that the 'polySubdFace#' inside the popup increases in Faces.

    • @DigitalDreambox
      @DigitalDreambox  3 года назад

      I haven't run into this issue personally. Perhaps try freezing the transforms and make sure you are in object mode when you add divisions. The other option is just to skip the add divisions part and retopologize it instead.

      @@artogerilyagames4955 Yes absolutely! I'm a big fan of just a simple diffuse material for low poly art which doesn't require much UV space at all. Just separate your colors in a painting program and make sure the UVs of each rock occupy those quadrants. An additional part of my workflow is to test the objects in game with some lighting beforehand so that the colors work for me before combining them onto one UV.
      I sometimes do that for emissive materials as well. Just have one material driving the emission of several objects to keep things performant.
