Normal map changing the global orientation of the specular.
Hi ! I came up on this problem everytimes lately, maybe because I changed a little bit my pipeline to create normal maps. maybe I had this everytimes without really noticing it ? Here it is: (I am doin that in UDK, but I guess it would do the same with any game engine/renderer.) When I apply one of my normal map in my… -
Texture splatting - Grass
Hello. I'm working in UE4 a personal project: a top-down game. I'm working on terrain materials. I created a tileable grass texture and a displacement map to go with it. I want to splat this texture with a few others. If I use the displacement map as a mask to modulate the linear blending works better than expected (the… -

Re: Will AI make 3d characters in the near future?
So far every AI texture generator I have seen or tried was so ridiculously pathetic I lost my hope. I am tired of textures and want to do something more challenging and thoughtful. I hate Substance Designer, it's inconvenient as hell and a huge time sink vs just taking few photos for photogrammetry but at least it's an… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | November - December (69)
@cforce5 well some of my friend use 3D Coat for handpainting but I don't have time to learn new Software as I'm busy understanding Cryengine... So I just use substance painter -> Export the base Color to Photoshop -> Paint it away -> Import to SP (SP will recognize PSD data as texture) bad news ist that I have to reload… -
Re: WIP: Cloud Strife
The sweater looks way better now. Except the collar which doesn't really match the rest but you probably already know that. That green background image makes it hard to see the model because the background image is waaaay brighter and takes the eye's focus. Turning down the saturation and value of the background image will… -
Re: Portfolio for Game School Searching
@Justin Meisse : That's nice! It's really hard to know, you know. @Johan3043 : Thanks! Well, I've done some crappy concepting but I'm a big fan of handpainted graphics so I guess that kind of counts. Too bad on the rejections, up and at it! @Spazzme : Heya! I'm currently just starting out my third year, by fall next year… -

Re: Does a good 3D Artist need to be a good 2D Artist?
Usually 2d art is promoted as the standard way to learn artistic principles. As long as you appreciate that artistic principles are important for creating good 3D art and strive to learn and apply them to your work, I think you are getting the point. For example, I'd argue that getting a good book about lighting and… -
Re: Is "PBR" a useful art style direction term?
The shiny look can be a content creation issue, often comes from misreading the lighting conditions in reference images. But it can also be a style, some people intentionally push a glossier direction, just as a matter of taste. In any rendering system there's wiggle room with regard to dramatic vs understated material…
