[Maya] Duplicated objects losing material connections
Using Maya 2016.5 sp1 on win 7 x64 We have some models we bought that I'm now using for kitbashing for level design. Some of the meshes are somehow dirty and losing material connections when I duplicate them. I've tried every trick in the book for cleaning these, short of remodeling them myself. I am trying to avoid… -
Solved: Too White thumbnail material creation
Hello, I don't know why this happens, but when i "add custom material", the thumbnail created isn't the good visual as the creation one. I'm on the 2.1.4 (rolled back bugged 2.1.5). On old versions, i've never had any problems. Look by yourself, this is the 256 thumbnail created by 3Do : This is a screen during the… -

Rendering an object's silhouette, behind a translucend material.

Like a silhouette. The player has to see it from different… -
Help with desaturated textures in materials, urgent
Hey all! I'm new to unreal, working on my final student project, and I've hit a really frustrating block with my textures and materials. I'm doing a low poly hand painted project, and all my materials that I import are automatically checked with sRGB. This makes them incredibly washed out and desaturated, really ruins the… -
Re: Material ID order from Maya?
Here is how i "solved" the problem, after the material naming approach failed. I separated the mesh by its materials, so one material per mesh (each mat is a drawcall anyways). I have the meshes in the top hierarchy of my maya scene, and the order in which they are in the outliner is the order the materials are imported… -
Creating a material library in Maya
Does anyone here know if there is a way to import or setup a standard material library in Maya 2018? I have a set of standard materials that I like to use on multiple scenes. But even if I use the Import function in Hypershade with "namespace" unchecked, Maya still adds a prefix to the material names with the name of the… -
Expanding Beyond Basic PBR Materials
Greetings polycount! While I feel like I have a decent understanding of the artistry behind building realistic materials, I feel like my technical know how is lacking a bit. I realize not all materials need to be super complex in order to create convincing results, but I'm having a hard time finding resources and tutorials… -
Re: Can't get multiple material elements in UDK to work
You indeed need to make sure that every object has a unique material id. The easiest way to do that is to just apply one multi/sub-object material to everything, with your individual materials as sub materials. This should be enough when you export as a fbx, however if you use ase's you need to do one more step: you need… -
Re: Solved: How to copy smart material or group to other mesh groups
The workflow here: Create the effect you're looking for and group by specific materials. If you created a dusty metal material, group that together. If you created an oily wood, group that together. Try to avoid grouping disparate materials into one Smart Material, if nothing but to avoid making your work harder. Once…
