Zbrush Tilable Wall Normals
Hi there, I'm working on a tilable wall in Zbrush. For a first attempt at an environmental prop in Zbrush I don't think it went too badly (plenty of room for improvement though). Attachment not found. At first I just UV mapped the bricks in Zbrush and imported the low poly mesh, with normal map, into Maya. Quite simply the… -
biped tricks and questions
Hello all With Max's Bipeds, is there a way to copy TCP atributes from one keyframe to another, and from one object to another? Or even better, is there a way to make the 'copy pose', 'paste pose' and 'paste opposite' take the TCBs values into account? Another question : is there a way to totally disable keyframe smoothing… -
Tips and tricks for in-house contractors? What pitfalls to avoid?
I have a few questions about in-house contracting. What are some things you should request from a studio up front when taking an in house contracting job. Health benefits, overtime pay, taxes, being allowed to show your work in a portfolio etc? What are some things that you regretted not asking for when taking the job?… -
Re: Realistic Textures
Sometimes I darken some parts of the image, bud the other main method I use for bricks is I first make the whole thing seamless, I then find the bricks with to much light source and I then replace those with the dark bricks by using the rectangle marquee tool, so using this tool I individual replace each brick which is not… -
Re: [UE4] Warcraft Style Environment
I like what I'm seeing here, it feels well at home with Blizzard's style of art and texturing, and feels to me as if it could be something like a full next-gen overhaul for WOW, or at least would fit in with such an overhaul. Your latest brick texture, though, looks like the bricks are wedged off from quite a ways. A well… -
Re: First Environment Asset on Indie Game. Looking for Input.
The lower columns are rather stout compared to the reference image. When working with bricks, it's important to line them up in the correct position. The layer of bricks at the bottom of the lower windows is off; it should be exactly at the bottom of the windows, instead of a bit low. The bricks are also off at the ledge… -
Re: Multiple UV channels?
Most of the time, I've used the second UV channel for lightmaps. So, in channel 1, we'd have our diffuse, bump, and whatever, which may be tiling quite a bit for environmental stuff. Then in channel 2, we bake out separate lightmaps, which obviously we don't want to tile. For example, say you've got a brick wall with a car… -
Max Default Lighting (Trick?)
When I start up a scene, we all know, there is the default lighting. It seems to be an omnilight bound to the center of the non-existent camera in the viewport. About halfway through building, I always like to throw in my intended lighting to keep see how objects are going to read. Getting them where I want them, I do find… -
Circular quad sphere trick
Hey Polycount, Maybe this is already known, but I recently discovered a way to make a perfectly circular quad sphere. As we all know, if you smooth a cube out you get something only slightly better than a potato. Now, this works in Maya 2015 using the modeling toolkit, I'm not sure or currently able to test it out in any… -
Re: Pizza Oven for Pepperonic video game from NOWWA (WIP)
Is it for mobile? Will this be the only major piece in the scene? You could save texture space by unwrapping 1 brick and then copy the uv map to the other bricks, so that you won't waste 1/3 of your texture for the bricks. Also, if you want the lowest possible model, you can remove the chamfers, reduce the cylinder…
