you can try learning by rough and smooth surfaces (glossy). This is base for classify a lot of materials, but of course, there are few exceptions like rubber materials, that can be smoothness but not necessarily have to emit or reflect the light like some glossy materials, cuz rubber materials absorve too much the light.…
Chances are I'm making things hard for myself lol, but thought I'd explain what I'm doing and then see what people say, I had some other threads on the topic and was reading this article:…
You're welcome. I updated it today with a few new features and tweaks: * Added Open button to open the output directory. * Updated the Channel spinner to get remembered between sessions. * Updated file writing to allow for base names with slashes... the output files will get put into subfolders. So if you have a base name…
Or like Substance Painter but working in 2d space with pixel snap precision . Something simple like 2x2 ? Vector style maybe including vector curves to scatter small things along. With color range selection ? Something for quickly compositing materials from already existing pieces , not even any 3d preview is necessary but…
So, my polycount fellows, I'm pretty sure that this is a noob question but I still can't figure out and can't find the exact answers so I will just ask here. I'm using unreal in this example but the question applies to any other engine too (well, at least that is what I think lul) So, first question is: If I use one…
This is great, love the lighting! The biggest problem for me is that the effects are overpowering everything else, so I can’t really focus on anything but the sparks. And the spinning camera makes it harder on top. I would suggest toning those both way down. The materials have a nice amount of grunge, but I can’t tell if…
I did a 400~ tri prop that had 5 different material definitions with a single mask texture. I assigned red, green, and blue (pure 100% rgb values) to materials in 3ds max, and then assigned them to a multi-sub object material, and I had another material that stood out from the RGB for the 4th option. I then baked the…
Another question regarding this same topic...figure I would reply here rather than start a new thread - Are draw calls based on materials on screen at the same time? So If I have 10 different meshes all using the same wood tiling material, thats still 1 draw call for the material rather than 10 different draw calls? Since…
Well, Chat GPT now makes python scripts that builds you complex node based setups for both geometry nodes and shader nodes in Blender and I managed to make its AI image Generator build me exactly images ( alphas mostly) I asked after. After 3-4 correcting approaches . A thing I couldn't get from PHotoshop/firefly AI that…
