Zbrush clipping/slicing problem
Hi, so I am doing zbrush right now and I am having problem on getting rid of the flat surface mesh every time I try to slice something up to remove it in my mesh. Every time I slice or clip something it create a flat surface of it, and I don't get why it does that. The videos that I have watch doesn't do that but mine… -
Decimated Mesh vs Clean Mesh
I was told that decimated mesh is bad for in-game performance. I used to use Zbrush decimation tool for hard surface stuff to save time but I got complained. He said the game engine (we are using UE4) will take more time to calculate meshes with bad topology. Is it true? As I know there are a lot of people are using this… -
Re: This reflected light is the reason?
http://seblagarde.wordpress.com/2013/09/08/water-drop-4a-reflecting-wet-world/ Multiple points on the water surface reflect the same area of the city thus in effect stretching or blurring it along the view direction. It happens on all uneven surfaces… -
Re: Shader - Sharpen Texture/ Detail/Color Project Process?
I'm not sure reflection is the right one to use now I've looked into it more thoroughly after Xolihul's message. It appears to be distorted at the edges - the normal used for specular lighting. (averaged between surface normal and surface-eye normal?) If you're using no normal maps feed a 0, 0, 1 vector into the transform… -
Re: Mesh Painting & Modular Assets
i would add some divisions to the surface, and also use a height map to add more variation to the vertex blending as well. is this for UDK? if so i could post a shader network for a good vertex blend that uses 2 channels one for the blend 1 for falloff, and uses a heightmap to blend dirt and moss into the cracks in the… -
Re: Character WIP Critique please
Looks good, but the one thing I notice is that the edges for most of the detailing is mostly softer than I would expect, especially from the metallic parts. Everything seems to have this same soft edge width; its about contrast and such, hard surfaces have harder edges and softer surfaces will be softer, with some… -
Re: Ferrari LaFerrari
@ Shinigami - If you are directing that at me, then they are in a sense splines but i'm using Maya so they are actually called curves. and Basically i'll use these curves to plot my surface flow and use NURBS modeling tools like Loft, Revolve, Bi-rail, and Boundary to model out the surface of the vehicle. Then towards the… -
Re: How Do You Get a High Res Clean Bake
The bake looks pretty clean, but is hard to tell with such a matte material. If you really want to scrutinize a bake then you should toss a dark diffuse/high spec material on your model and see if the surfaces hold up. Outside of the bake though, your xnormal wear and tear, combined with the chunkiness of the model sell… -
Re: Handpainted textures test
don't sure about what kind of surface variation i can use on stones,something like this one?? (maybe a bit excessive?) Edit: please Talon,can you be a bit more specific about what kind of surface variation you suggest? (cause now i don't have idea of what could improve them) :( -
Re: Baking Shadows
If you want to bake a shadow into your diffuse texture, the whole mesh surface gets unique, therefor you can't reuse the same texture space for different surfaces. Sometimes you can use some fake, ambient shadowing which will not be so obviously, but if you want to bake real shadows you need to separate your uv islands.
