Hello Polycount, I have been looking for a solution to this for a little while now, basically i need to find a way to achieve this faded paint on concrete effect as shown in the image above with vertex blending. I know the typical approach for texture blending is to use a Height-map as a Blend-mask, but since the concrete…
No, you don't "apply the reflection map to the body" - you start by look up how reflection mapping (of any kind) is done in the Maya realtime viewport, setup some test scenes accordingly to understand how it works, and then apply what you learned to display this model as desired. (of course ultimately the reflection…
Are sharp masks the only way? Here's a picture of what i'm talking about in greyscale format. See how the shapes are penetrating eachother and it doesn't look natural? How do I stop this from happening while also having a natural look to it? Or should I just spend more time adjusting my transform nodes so they overlay less?
Urban Wastelands is a post apocalyptic online tactical first person shooter, which takes place in the not so distant future.

Welcome to polycount! :) Your portfolio shows that you have a solid foundation but I think you might benefit a lot from taking a closer look into current-gen pipelines for weapon/prop creation. Both modeling and texturing-wise. I've made a breakdown here on polycount a while ago that might be a good starting point to get…
Hello everyone. I have been trying to figure out the way Michael Vicente (Orb) sculps his stylized edges with different brushes and settings. I already know how he creates stylized cracks on the edges, but how does he sculp the actual edges? Here is what I'm talking about: My guess is that he used trim dynamic, flatten or…
The unofficial limit is 100 tiles if I remember correctly (hence them starting new rows when they do) but afaik it's entirely up to the tools you're using as to how they handle it.
Hello polycount! I'm rigging a character in Maya and having trouble when it comes to the suspenders. Originally I just skinned them to the body bones and weight painted those as well as I could, but while it stretched and contracted nicely it would shear badly when twisting. I think the solution is to give the suspenders…
