@rgbeard these textures are from a sculpt so just a straight up bake. The only math I use at the moment is the one in the default POM node. Some more tricks going in with the...oh wait i didnt post that. Ill dig it up. Basically this scene is super old, so there was no working POM node, so I made my own, that had some…
hi @Quack! Love the work you've done so far. How long have you been in love with substance? I'm just starting out, and I love thinking about how im going to make my ideas a reality with a non-destructive workflow! As of right now, im trying to make this cobblestone flooring with cracks. I'm wondering how do you process…
Using the Modify health node can work, you'd need to hook the Instigator to the bot in question so the hp can be changed. But, ultimately, damage dealt relates to how much health the bot starts with from script, or if you modify it to take five hits. How much damage does your weapon do? Set the bots health to 5 times that…
Using the connection editor you can link the matrices of your objects to your cgfx shader. You need to define a matrix in your shader - something like float4x4 camMatrix; Multiplying the vertex world position by worldInverseMatrix will give you a view space projection (no perspective) Unfortunately maya doesn't seem to…

Hi Folks, So I am trying to implement a tessellation effect which will tessellate near the camera and lessen the further away it is from the camera (as you might expect). I have been trying to do this using a distance based solution which I use for blend textures out to avoid tiling repetition, but this doesn't seem to be…
I'm using Arnold with Maya 2017. I've made a groom with XGen and want to set the colour to be the same as the texture I made. I have markings in white, greys and browns so would like for them to show in XGen, not one colour. I have looked at many tutorials and haven't found a solution, I need help as I have no idea what to…
