Re: What is the process to model a dog mouth?
"The only way I could think of was to make the modeling and skinning at the same time, so that I can play with the jaw bone to reveal the sides of the mouth that I want to model, but that seems really messy" There's nothing messy about that - as a matter of fact, 100% of character modelers would greatly benefit from being… -
Re: Video Game Artists Hygiene. Theory and practice.
While I agree that things have to be made as clean as possible, the following is another misconception : With weight transfer tools, it's actually the opposite. You could very well pass an early, non finished version of a model (but with correct proportions) to the rigger so that you can see if it has the correct range of… -
Re: sRGB Values in Substance Painter - Questions
Yeah... this is painter being a confusing pain in the arse and also inconsistent with designer's behaviour. What you have there is a value of rgb(96,96,96) which is what you get if you apply a correction curve of pow(x,1/2.2) to a value of rgb(30,30,30) That suggests they're gamma correcting the input, which in turn… -
Re: Animating All My Rigs, a little rusty.
On the walk, the arms still seem pretty robotic and going from A-B without much easing in and out at the end of the strides, pretty linear. Also looks like they are literally linear, might want to add some small left-right movement in there. The shouldermovement seems pretty cool, but I wouldn't really say the shoulder is… -
Re: SSS Shaders
For those who are interested, here is a description of my current setup. First I take my normal map into Photoshop and create two versions of it. To one I apply a Gaussian blur (8 pixels wide in my case), to the other I apply a high-pass filter (same diameter as before). This splits the normal maps into two parts, the… -
Re: Marmoset 32bit baking problem
Are the screenshots here from the same app? Photoshop I assume? This could be a case of PS handling color spaces differently for different file formats. What you're seeing on the right is linear space representation of the map, which should be correct. Generally people view 8-16bit normal map images in sRGB space, which… -
Re: Painting a scene from a photo with subtle lighting
Most of the time when I make painting nowadays, I tend to do it like a 3d engine. So first I paint the color info only (diffuse maps). I add my shading, shadows, on a separate white base later set to multiply. Than my speculars and reflections, starting out with a black layer set to linear dodge(add). Any bounce light and… -
Re: Vert colour blending material
Cheers Adam, Are you talking about how the vertex colors are blending between vertices? If you're painting in full color, I don't know that you can get that blend, as its a hardware level lerp, and you're not wanting a linear gradation. If you go back to painting masks you could get an adjustable gradation like that a… -
Re: Maintaining the PBR workflow
The reason charts of roughness values vary is that you're defining an average roughness value for a pixel and that value will depend how large an area of a surface the pixel defines. Eg. Sandpaper is quite shiny if you look very closely but if you step a few paces back it looks much rougher cos the lumpy surface bounces… -
Re: "X-Ray" Outlines in Blender Cycles (and Unity)? (and other shader-related questions)
Hi. The texture on that shirt seems to be mapped with screen \ window coordinates: instead of you mapping the shirt by hand to make UV coordinates with seams etc., you map it directly in your vertex or pixel shader based on the screen coordinates of the shirt pixels. -…
