I tried to get Chat GPT to modify the script to not only remove duplicate sub-object ids, but also remove them from the mesh, but it wasn't able to sort it out. Maybe someone who knows MaxScript could fix this? ( -- Get the selected object obj = selection[1] -- Ensure the object is valid and has a Multi/Sub-Object material…
Hello everyone! I’m happy to share the final result of this material I’ve been working on for some time now. It’s a mosaic material for which I also created two variant sets of textures to make the in-context presentation shots. Hope you like it!Here’s the ArtStation post where you can find a few more shots from the…
I must be doing something obviously wrong, cant believe it's this hard. I have Object 1 (many elements) with Material 1 applied to it, then I have Object 2 (many elements) with Material 2 applied to it...all good. It falls apart when I detach some element off of Object 1 and attach it to Object 2. I'll export that as an…
Hi everyone! I’m working on a material I created in Substance Designer, and I’m running into a visible tiling issue once I bring it into Unreal Engine 5.6. I’ve attached screenshots showing how it looks in the scene. The tiling (2x2) appears especially clearly horizontally. I’ve tried making small adjustments in Substance…
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the great questions! Let’s dive in. Working in VR is truly like walking on a razor's edge. It’s a technical hell where every decision must be calculated ten steps ahead. Performance requirements (high resolution across two displays + high frame rates) leave no room for error, and you…
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a library of modular 3D weapon models and made an editor powerful enough to texture and export the models and textures in different styles, including PBR. You can combine different 3D weapon parts using a variety of templates to create unique weapon models. The goal is to help game…
Another update for this week :) All images below are directly from Unreal Engine. Over the last couple of days I’ve been focusing heavily on refining details throughout the environment, especially terrain variation, material breakup, and overall cohesion. I’ve also been adjusting the horizon and surrounding landscape to…
I've just got my latest Tech Art creation approved on Creative Crash: Nightshade Materializer is a Maya tool for managing and working with scene materials. It's a Swiss Army Knife -styled tool with loads of features aimed to make the life easier for the 3D Artist and/or Level Designer working in Maya. It's written entirely…
What Substance workflow + export settings would you use to get the best results in UE5 using the new Substrate materials? Mainly to prevent 'white fringes' problem that was common in the UE metalness workflow around gradual transitions between metal and non-metal materials like dirt and paint? So basically a 'specular' PBR…
Well, Chat GPT now makes python scripts that builds you complex node based setups for both geometry nodes and shader nodes in Blender and I managed to make its AI image Generator build me exactly images ( alphas mostly) I asked after. After 3-4 correcting approaches . A thing I couldn't get from PHotoshop/firefly AI that…
