Want to make small nicely lit environments, should I switch from Unity to Unreal?
I'm wanting to make small environments that I can pick up a controller and walk around it, perhaps taking video as I build up the environment. I have a lot of experience in the industry but so far have mostly stuck with Unity. I just want to a fun personal project but I have multiple thoughts about the direction I should… -
Re: Don’t use gamma on normal maps
The shader can be designed to normalize for you, but it does make it a tad bit slower. It’s a tradeoff. -

Layoff update

But unfortunately I never had a chance to get past the… -

Re: 16-bit images get imported as 8-bit in Photoshop
Thread resurrection to clear up a few points for any late readers. It is possible that you got hit with the bug in the file export index that occurred around build 2012-08 that was fixed in 2012-11. If that is not the case: The supported file formats in TerreSculptor are listed on the Import and Export dialog file type… -
Re: Werid issue with Marmoset to Substance Painter with the normals
Texture format and bit depth for the normal maps? Also why is there a world-space normal map in Painter? Edit: I don't see a shading seam in Painter, maybe you forgot to attach that screenshot?
