Hello everyone, I want to share a new tool I've been developing for some time now called VmBaker. It is a texture baking tool mainly targeted at game developers for making low-poly models - but it's really up to you how you want to use it. If you're tired of exporting models from Maya to Blender just to bake beveled edges,…
Posting this here specifically because Polycount's audience cares about pipeline more than novelty, and that's the actual use case I built this for. Context I run Anvil Interactive Solutions — we ship Blender/UE5/Unity tooling (Quadify line, BlendUnreal, BlendUnity, a few others). BlenderMCP Pro came out of needing to do…
Just finished a modular real-time library environment in Unreal Engine - a reusable modular kit (blockout + modeling in Maya), Substance Painter texturing, hero-prop dressing, Unreal assembly, and a motivated lighting pass (warm afternoon sun through tall windows). The focus was the two things that make or break a…
On Ornatrix grooms I kept hitting two things: I rebuild the same operator stack on every character, and a fully-built stack tanks the viewport while I'm still iterating. How I've been handling it: * Build the stack in a fixed order (Surface Comb → Rotate → Clump → Curl → Frizz → Detail → Noise → Gravity → Change Width) so…
Hi! The name's SimplyBlissful. As a beginner 3D artist, I'm looking to offer my services to those who want their 2D projects, realized to 3D! I'm only offering 3D-Modelling, so no UV unwrapping, texturing or rigging. I'm also not creating models with mouth meshes. What I require from you on this is a turnaround sheet of…
This has been a long time coming, I am incredibly happy to announce that I am finally releasing one of my personal mech parts kitbash sets that I have built and use on a daily basis for my own production work. The Full Kit Includes:- 235 Total Pieces meticulously organized and broken up into 7 distinct categories.-…
I cant say that im a big fan of most of your textures. Most of them seem to have excessive amounts of dirt, which looks like youve just plain slapped it on top with a blend modifier.. the dirt just looks out of place. most noticably on these pieces: http://files.shownd.com/b/k/a/bkaczmarek/uploads/large/1917906.jpg…
nice, i'd suggest to add: * "SinCos(a)" because generating cos and sine of the same input is faster than individuals. And typically you want both for stuff like rotation * "Step(a,b)" allows compares ( a <= b ? 1 : 0) which is really useful. * "Sign(a)" returns -1,0,+1 depending on sign frac = fractional part of a number…
I’m the CEO @ Makeshift Software Inc. We’re currently working on an upcoming 3D Action RPG, Hexborn. We want to rely on Blender instead of Maya for our prerendered cutscenes, I want to ensure it’s a viable long-term solution. Greatly appreciate any solid content made with this pipeline – and any feedback from anyone…
