Re: Demon Character Art - Darksiders Style

Heyo,

Small update - base colours are coming along and the bakes are setting a good foundation. Looooong way to go still, but happy so far.

Here is the material preview in substance painter.

This is diffuse only.

Re: Playing devils advocate, what stops artists from using AI art someone else made to create work from?

Well, it's really not that complicated to legislate really : it starts by making it mandatory to make the DB used for training human-readable, and making it illegal to feed anyone's work into it without consent. It's not even new legislation - it's just a reminder that copyright still applies, even if the e-theft is massive.

Re: [WIP] Turtle Mount and Rider

This is coming along. Right now just using hard surface techniques on getting the stowage and saddle props to have clean high poly before zbrush. Adjusting the layout a bit too. Decided that the other side and back of the mount will have a large medicine cabinet and some more barrels with odds and ends, and another lantern.

And the current status of the rider. Just blocked in the body and did a quick pose and scaling test. Will get back to her once the turtle is ready for detailing.

Re: Need opinions on round edge normal baking workflow

Well, as stated above that would be an argument from thinking of the issue in theory only ("why do you care, just autopack"). But in practice that's not how things work : having a human-readable layout speeds things up immensely when texturing, because not everything game art-related is done UV-agnostingly in Substance painter. As soon as one is dealing with real assets, randomly arranging all the sub-parts would result in an unmanageable layout, and ID masks prone to a lot of bleeding.

The following layout is far from unoptimized - quite the opposite really ...

Detail :

And furthermore, the OP specifically mentioned that he doesn't want an automatically arranged layout, and is looking for a solution that respects the initial continuous unwrap.

Re: [SpeedTree][UnrealEngine] How do I export AO/Roughness/Metallic map?

Hello, if anybody in the future wants some customization in shi*tty and limited export setup from SpeedTree:
You need to go

{YOURS_SPEEDTREE_DIR}/texture_packing

Then you can select Unreal's UE4.fx and UE4.xml and duplicate that (rename also to fit yours packaging method name). Open it in some code editor (e.g. VS Code or Notepad++).

In XML File:

<div><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></div><div><SpeedTreeTexturePacker Shader="PACKAGE_NAME.fx" ForceTextures="false" ></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <Texture0 Suffix="_Color" MipGenerationFlag="AlphaIsOpacity" /></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <Texture1 Suffix="_Normal" /></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <Texture2 Suffix="_Subsurface" /></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <Texture3 Suffix="_AO_Roughness_Height" /></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <Texture4 Skip="true" /></div><div></SpeedTreeTexturePacker></div>

Here I just changed package method name and added one more texture to setup and updated Shader , which is name of your new preset.

From:

To:

This is just declaration and naming convention of your output file. I picked here something similar to Quixel's packing method. Actual packing is handled by second file - .fx

You need to add this somewhere in your code (.fx file):

sOutput.m_vTexture3 = float4(sInput.m_fAmbientOcclusion, 1 - sInput.m_fGloss, sInput.m_fHeight, 1);

Ofc. outside of if instructions

Breakdown:

sOutput.m_vTexture3 - it's your output file. You just declared it in XML step, just like normal map is declared as sOutput.m_vTexture1.
float4 - you're creating RGBA image - 4 channels

sInput.m_fAmbientOcclusion - your AO value - we can put this in R channel
1 - sInput.m_fGloss - simple OneMinus operation on Gloss map, to create Roughness value. As is second argument it goes to G channel.
sInput.m_fHeight - I just picked Height for B channel.
1 - it's just alpha channel

You can select whatever float type you want as any of them (as I think, I can be wrong here).

Last step - select your preset while exporting

In my case, preset name is Gotha.
The result is Quixel like packed texture

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/7d/9sylddh1hun4.png

Sorry for my bad grammar, but I hope someone will use this right way in the future anyway. Here goes the docs: https://docs9.speedtree.com/modeler/doku.php?id=texturepacking - field names, flags etc.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (84)

Happy to say that I'm finished! Another big learning experience as usual, specifically learned how to simulate cables in blender to further ground them into the scene. I also used a different workflow for details. Using Substance painter to paint in the height/normal details instead of using a high poly to low poly workflow. My goal was to push as much detail I could from the normal texture.

See more images and a video at my Artstation post: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/blrWmE

Re: Normal Map Gradients

Using support loops /single smoothing group on hard surface stuff is a terrible idea if you plan to LOD your object on the same texture maps - you just end up with expensive LODs that look shit.

Generally speaking, if you're going to be close enough to notice the artefacts caused by hardening a 90 degree edge you're close enough to need geometry to represent the bevel across it
