I'm going to second placeholders. That will let you set up the lighting and camera at least somewhat in advance and make it a lot easier to tweak them to make sure you can capture the sense of scale well. I can't see your image, though, I just get an error telling me I don't have permissions for it.
I've been using SP2.5 for ages now... and just recently it's turned around to me and started messing with my baking... I'm getting this issue when I bake my normal maps on hard edges it's almost like my UV islands weren't split... or to better explain it if I bake a simple cube, all my edges come out looking like Average…
Awesome work dude. I hope that we start seeing better tools to help artists do this kind of thing so you don't need to be half a programmer to get good art with low texture usage. The problems you're getting with TC_NormalMap aren't because of co-compression, it's because TC_NormalMap isn't a compression setting but a…
It's fair bit of a hassle to sim in Unity and bake out to FBX. You need Recorder and FBX Exporter packages in the project add rigidbody and joint components in unity for Simulation, then record the sim to an animation clip; apply the recorded clip back to the character and then export the character as an FBX animation.…
For the UV, at least on UE4, there's a solution (I can't check if it works, because I don't have UE4) https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?1861-Tutorial-How-to-proper-export-a-FBX-scene-from-Cinema-4D-to-U4-with-2-UV-channels I don't like the UV tools too, but I'd like to see if with this:…
Auto High Poly (maya 2016 EXT 2 ONLY!) Hi everyone! So after a loong time of messing around with mel I've finally gotten the time to put this together to share with the community! Just take my script and make it a button on your shelf! After that the rest is easy, just follow the instructions below (animated gif!). Notes:…
A handy trick I have been using for a while is if I have a bunch of vertices that have all their varying height positions (y axis) selected, with 'snap to points turned on' and the pivots y axis active, I can just hold down middle mouse button and drag near a vertex that I want all the selected vertices to have the same…
Hey guys, would you be so king as to look over this, more for the flow and layout than anything else. I still have a long way to go before its filled with yummyness, so most of the stuff in there is subject to change/finishing....but i wanted to get a start on building this site.....its a blogger hack! :) I actually…
These are mostly general lighting questions that can apply to most engines, but since I'm working in Unity, I'll post here: 1. For all my assets, Ive just set them to generate lightmaps. After I bake, I get an error stating that 2000+ items have overlapping UVs. Though the bake looks fine. Do I need to worry about making…
