Weird Question: can I preview SP height to normal conversion in SD?
Hi, When you author a simple PBR material in Substance Designer, your height map will eventually be converted to normal when working in Substance Painter. Is the process of conversion as simple as using a Normal or Normal Sobel node with intensity set to X? How I can preview roughly the same result in Designer? (EDIT: It… -
Substance Designer: Linear vs SRGB output?
I came across some threads in the Allegorithmic forum that seem to imply that all maps except the diffuse/base are converted into linear. Was this only for the 3D previewer in Substance alone? I attempted to change the output nodes to different types (say base versus roughness), and they still exported out the same way. So… -

Re: Screenshots & Presentation Help/Thread of Knowledge
Nope, unless you have access to the source code and create plugin-esque extension, it doesn't exist. -
Maxscript : getting material from bitmap ?
Ola, Let's say i have a multimaterial, with standard submaterials in it, with a diffuse texture in each of the submaterial. In the material editor, my current slot is on a diffuse bitmap node. I want to access the parent standard material from here. Not the root multimaterial. (Purpose is to rename the standard material as… -

Re: Migrating from Source to UE4 for level design
I'll preface my comment by saying that I'm more of an environment artist than a level designer, so what works for me, may not work for somebody that's trying to quickly iterate elements for the purpose of actual gameplay based level design. The short answer is you can use houdini engine to make both procedural/parametric… -
Re: 3ds to CE3 : export issues
I have a few models this is starting to happen to me. Once the error message appears, I go to click to find the faces, and max crashes - every single time. The weld idea isnt working on my model. I receive a prompt from max that no vertices were within range. Is there another way to identify the face? This one has me… -
Re: How to edit vertex normals for Anime / Toon shading in blender? (Arc System Works-Inspired)
Looking at the Mental Ray shader setup shown briefly in the Softimage video, it's really not even painting the Threshold like I initially thought. There's an incidence node supplying some basic grayscale information based on the location of existing scene lights (lit areas will be white while shaded areas will be black).…
