Re: Texture help
Ok, here's some specific point to focus on, there's plenty more to think about but a few to get the ball rolling. It looks like you intend it to be some spotty/stained metal and polished wood, so I'll move forward with that in mind -Understand your materials: The metal currently has a very low spec. Even stained and… -
Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
Carmack said a while back that the sort of optimization you can do for consoles effectively makes them twice as good as their specs (shourche), so think mid+ now, and will probably hold that position for a few years. They might not be 'twice as good' straight away, but probably at least 1.4 to 1.6 times better than… -
Re: Glossiness/Roughness for Schlick - How to do it?
What kind of specular model are you using this Schlick fresnel with? "standard", it's float base = 1.0 - dot(V, H);float exponent = pow(base, 5.0); float fresnel = exponent + F0 * ( 1 - exponent ); You might try to divide that last bit by a value, to get a 'roll off' Here's a Kelemen Szirmay-Kalos brdf/specular w/… -
Re: Concrete Wall [C&C Needed]
For the record, you can use spec with pbr, just not in UE4 by default. Metalness simplifies everything, but it is still just assigning spec values. Will edit this post with links and better explanations in a little bit, @ phone right now. EDIT: Alright. So, read these. Hopefully they'll clarify the whole "Metalness and… -
Re: Sci-fi Sick Bay UDK
I would agree. Your materials are all one shade of specular. You either didnt use spec maps or you are being way too shy with them. Dont be afraid man! Diffuse is the heart of the texture maps, the displacement and normal maps are pure supportive of the diffuse (not needed, but make a whole crap load of difference in… -
Modular chain link fence WIP
Ok, i feel like I need to improve my work and I have been dicking around long enough. Be as tough as you can on me.... I need it. Here is the details: I wanted to create a modular chain link fence using opacity masks, which proved challenging for me. There are 3, 2k textures(opacity, frame diffuse, spec for frame) for this… -
Re: UV layout
That's such a great visualization ! Straight to the point. Adding to the above comments, if this current body texture was to get scaled down to 1024*1024 (for instance if an hypothetical game was to be set to medium settings, or as the texture gradually loads and mips up during a cutscene), this is all that would be left… -
Re: Pwnisher NEW 3D Render Challenge w/ INSANE Prizes! | Chasm's Call
I think that what made these oldschool community challenges special was the fact that they were somewhat of a niche thing. So even with the best intentions in the world, mainstream challenges cannot recapture that now that everyone is terminally online. Pwnisher alone has more than a million subs. There are still… -
Re: Larger asset materials, what would you do?
It's currently PCVR but mid-spec. I have another question with regards to texturing. Since it's VR, if I have some hero assets but they're quite large, the texture I create for it is being made with Painter. I set the resolution to 2K and the UV unwrap is contained within the UV tile space. I'm not using UDIMS. So in this… -
Re: School work Comps
I think its a good start, the modeling and UVs seem pretty good but i feel your textures could use some work,i would at the min bake an AO onto the meshes but....but a spec and a Norm would go a long way.......i feel you need to give them material definition like grain in the wood or metal, scratches, wrinkles in the…
