I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give…
@StarbirdUlt Nice progress :+1: I would note the lighting makes it hard to see the environment though. Looking forward to see that trim-sheet applied to some geometry. To that point, I recommend previewing it applied to different situations while working on it. Also at distances the final renders will be - at greater…
I once tried briefly their free license , then uninstalled due to severe lack of free space . Haven't found it good enough to switch from Designer . Now Chat GPT tells me they introduced cool vector spline based brushes that stay vector after stroke and have lots of cool features only seen in vector editors before. Is it…
@TypicalMale To elaborate, I'm only curious because at a glance your topology in my opinion had indicated either 'high flow' (high to low) or probable midpoly (hybrid trim sheets) baking methodology and as an aside personal preference nowadays I tend to lean toward the latter, when generating mostly static large scale HS…
Some thoughts about learning, problem solving, and feedback. Answer this question honestly when it feels like you're falling behind on a project or stuck on a particular problem: how much are you learning and how much are you getting done? Each project has it's own unique challenges. Sometimes it takes more time to learn…
Hi! Did you bake a unique normal map from a high poly to a lowpoly, then changed the lowpolys shading? If so, I would expect the final shading (mesh shading + normal map) to no longer look correct. The normal map stores the difference in shading of the meshes it was baked with. So if you change the lowpoly shading, you…
Hello everyone, how are you doing.So, I'm in the midst of modeling this handheld controller from PACIFIC RIM(as you can see I've gathered enough reference). I've managed to get the general shape, but when i try to solve the topology to hold the edges and making the object feels alive i get this issue, in this specific…
yes trios is a scam for sure, was on facebook and through a friend profile I was suggested to try computer tech and IT courses and to look up second careers by the ontario government, in which my friend profile happens to be a IT tech at rogers. anyhow I went to second careers, it was an government of ontario website that…
I have been playing around with Rim Lighting, to get my normals to "pop" more. What is the standard practice to using Rim Light though? I have tried both Diffuse slot Rim light and Emissive slot rim lighting, as I have seen example of both. Has anyone had good results with either examples? And what typically yields the…
