I ended up contacting Marmoset support to figure this out. This ended up being an issue with Marmosets current inability (as of at least Nov 2022 when we had this discussion) to pass SSS through meshes whose sides consist of multiple materials. These dragons have multiple udims assigned to them. For example there's one…
Blender Hairtool by Bartosz Styperek This is a hair plane example. Straight away you can see the difference between volume and vibrance with the example you posted above. So it depends on what you are looking for. I reckon you should look into material and lighting, but also styling.
sort of fixed: So I have figured out that 1 of the errors was due to no output node, even though I was able to work without one yesterday thanks to gnoop. The other error, more prominently, seemed to be that my material settings were not saved and reset to default for some reason. I am wondering if this is going to happen…
My temp materials hardly ever spill over 24 slots. Personally I don't reserve slots for applied materials. That cuts down on quite a bit of the clutter. I also use the get material menu system to browse libraries and the scene materials. I also use the material browser (not the same as the material editor) to jump around…
Thank you LoteKk! I think I finally managed to get this thing error proof so I am posting the full script. Name: Bigley_Smart_Material What it does: -- When run it creates 3 materials in the Material Editor that I use on a regular basis * Nothing Pressed - Reads material from current selection and selects all other…
Hello ! Always loving the JuniorSenior avatar :) Along the lines of the suggestions from the Great Eric, and considering that the goal is an actual game asset for UE, then simply start by modeling a first version of the final polygon game asset of the tent at rest. Garment making tools may be useful to an extent since they…
Aye Yo Polycount! I wanted to share my latest scene. I have been working on this project in my spare time and really wanted to share it with you all. I have both a breakdown of the scene and a tutorial on how I did procedural generation for foliage and grass in my scene. I couldn't find any tutorials on how to do this so I…
I've run into an issue with dDo where unzipping materials after applying a material preset in 5.2 will break everything associated with that material. Before unzipping I can change the color/spec/gloss values but after unzipping the material I can no longer edit those things, only the material details after that point.…
Hey! So far the overall texturing looks good! However, whats missing is a bit of PBR material definition. Even though Overwatch is a stylized game they do still use quite some different materials to break up their assets. Using the junkrat weapon as an example you can see the weapon features different material types. I'd…
First do like monster suggested and reset the material editor. Material Editor > utilities > reset material editor slots. Since there is a good chance most of those aren't being used in the scene. Don't worry it won't delete any materials assigned to objects and you can still access them, it just dumps all the crap you…
