Another update for this week :) All images below are directly from Unreal Engine. Over the last couple of days I’ve been focusing heavily on refining details throughout the environment, especially terrain variation, material breakup, and overall cohesion. I’ve also been adjusting the horizon and surrounding landscape to…
Hi there. I decided to get this out now. I may add a couple of more ones when I have cooled down a bit :) There are at the moment 8 different tutorials on materials and how I define them and some tricks I do on various surface types. Some of them involves sculpting in Zbrush and some are only Max or even Photoshop only. So…

I.e the mesh…

The idea is to avoid, for exemple, duplicated textures/materials. Imagine that I have a group of people that is working on a city, how can I assure that…

I'd like to hear some feedback on the final material and learn some possible ways for improvement.

I recently imported an .FBX of a max file from a colleague that had this odd self illuminated looking light gray material applied to it. And every time I tried to change it, any new material became the same thing. No problem I thought, I'll just reset it and start from scratch. No luck. Okay, I'll reset Max and re-import,…
