Question… When your are doing smart uv I noticed that your main body look to have a small amount of faces than the main body you had after the model remesher program you use? Why dose it look like that , is it because you use decimate after the auto remesh version?

@RussellMidfield

3 жыл бұрын

Oh that's because in the video that is the first time I ran Autoremesher. I actually ran Autoremesher a couple more times with different Density and Edge Scaling factors to see if I could get it a little less dense. I felt like the first time shown in the video, the polycount was a little too high for my liking although it probably would have been fine for this still pose application.

Good job, this is so good for learning and practicing. But for a project or work is way faster and eficient to use a human base mesh and sculpt on top of it, for everyone but specially for indie developers with a small team. Even top profesional artists uses base meshes to start their projects.
