Re: Color and Specular Maps
Hey Saidin, Not sure if you already found a source for this but I thought Id give it a try. -A color specular map(this is my definition so someone please correct me if I'm wrong)is a map used to allow the light on a surface to bounce off and create an illusion of specularity. A classic example is the light that bounces off… -
Re: Torture Knife
The surface area of the whole object is monotone. Is there a reason for why the cutting edge has the same surface quality as the non-cutting surfaces? -
Re: Shrinkwrapping lowpoly to highpoly with linked vertex positions, is this a thing?
Wrap does what you want in principle...the only difference from your case is that you have to set up point pairs manually yourself. I think the point pairs are stored on the surface of the mesh, not in world space. So if you had an initial wrapping setup and needed to adjust the high polys shape and position, the point… -
Re: UGV Scorpion
Hi guys thanks for the feedback, Agreed the texture usage does seem excessive but there is a reason behind it. That is why there's a breakdown incoming. As are some additional shots to see the material definition better. In this shot the key light is above and behind the visible metallic surfaces so you're not seeing… -
Re: level art Art test
Hey Arman, I've seen your stuff around forums on the web. Thought I'd give some crits. Overall, the models aren't too bad, restrictions considered. Nonetheless, w/ such low tri counts, you really need to focus on the silhouette. Render it out and show just the alpha mask. Can you make out what it is? Second are the… -
Re: What's the Best Way to to make Filigree and Ornamental 3D Objects?
Yes i model the downward extrusions pointing outwards a bit on purpose (even tho it's not like that in the refs) so that when i bake normal maps it catches more depth info. In Blender it's easy to model it like that to begin with since you can model with a line and then fill in the polygons. What you could do instead is… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
As I understand it, if you've got a UV seam it costs nothing to also make that a hard edge. I've never really understood the bevel workflow, so hopefully you can help me out with this. When you put in a single segment bevel, you end up with the normals still smooth over the whole surface, which the normal map then has to… -
Re: is this a normals issue or something else?
Yay for crappy wacom handwriting! Basically what is happening here is that you're trying to stretch a square over a curved surface. Think of quads as DVD's, you may be able to bend a DVD a little bit over a curved surface but if you do it too much you'll snap it in two. It's a little bit like that with geometry that gets… -
Substance painter settings and UE5 Substrate material settings.
What Substance workflow + export settings would you use to get the best results in UE5 using the new Substrate materials? Mainly to prevent 'white fringes' problem that was common in the UE metalness workflow around gradual transitions between metal and non-metal materials like dirt and paint? So basically a 'specular' PBR… -
