Re: Help me figure out how to texture this 3d tiles system
I read this a couple of times and I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish from a 3D modeling standpoint. So let me try to put it in my own words and tell me if I'm right. You're programming a modular (you're calling them tiles) asset generator, where the program takes meshes and assembles them, then applies a texture… -
Re: Noob Learning Challenge, Dark Aribeth (NSFW)
8. Highpoly Sculpting - Surface Noise I believe it is important to try new things and experiment in every personal project you take on. Using ZBrushs Surface Noise deformer was one of these experiments. I was introduced to it while watching an EAT3D tutorial and made my own workflow to suit what I was doing. I want to… -
Re: Triangles in Height map-Xnormal??
Yes.Imagine that you have a lowpoly mesh that has angular surface (because its lowpoly). And if you want to get it smooth, you need to tessellate, then move the inide of the original faces, and form "bumps", loosing intensity as it approaches the original edges, so you get a smooth curve. Here is an example image: Then… -
Re: diffuse, specular, normal maps all the time!?
just because you can create something that looks good and realistic without gloss maps doesn't mean it's not wrong. you can create screenshots that look very good and realistic with only a diffuse texture map and no lighting but it will start to look strange if you see video of it or if you see various screenshots of it… -
Re: ACR Weapon
The large side port on your weapon that ejects your emty cardridges. Look up videos/images on how weapons funtion, so you get a better understading how things are made and funtion. How you should make these more smooth transtion/curve surfaces is up to you, bevel/chamfer is one way. One more thing on your high-poly, work… -
Re: Why is topology still such a conundrum?!
I think programs as Fusion 360 are currently unavoidable for hard surfaces. This mean another damn program to learn again. Zbrush for hard surface is for concepting, 3d printing and renders and agree not for close ups. But most of the users of hard surface wants more than that and the tools in generic 3d programs has not… -
Re: Question about PBR
No, metallics got their own map since their reflectance is very different from non metals. In you're leather coat exemple all you would do is use low values in your roughness map. Albedo is colour with no shading at all. Roughness is how rough the surface is, low values mean a mirror like surface, high values mean a more… -
Re: what is happening to this cubemap / normalmap / shader / orwhatever
Hi :) yes I can post some more shots later to give more insight in the setup of the scene. I expected a a reflection fitting to a surface that is more flat than the interpolated lowpoly surface. Or lets say this "virtual" surface the interpolation creates. There aren't any additional chamfers.. it's in fact just a simple… -
Re: Texture Image Baking: How do I smooth jagged edges?
Thank you for replying Eric! <3 Do you mean if the mesh part is inside the other mesh or is on the surface of it? If so, it is on the surface of it. It is not along the UV Edge it is on the surface in the middle and you can see it on the Model when I apply the texture, which is the problem. :( I am also now noticing the… -
Re: [ONG] Offroad Racer - Indie Game Dev Log
@MmAaXx : We separate the track surface from the terrain. The track uses two materials which are blended by vertex. These materials have high-mid-frequency information in them. Tiling on these mats is very poor (intentionally), why we need two mats to break the tiling. On the terrain we use 3-4 materials which are…
