Re: Modular asset texture vs Normal maps
Triangulation is the main problem here, you're getting X shaped smoothing errors which means your triangulation does not match the baked geometry. If max, just make sure to export in triangles, not quads If maya, lock mesh normals first, then triangulate before exporting It still may not be perfect after fixing the… -
Re: ANSWERED: textures in vray
Hi soel! Just as Alphamix says you can use uncalibrated for now, and the way he describes the map plugin order is correct! We will have a v-ray callibration export profile in the future, but this is a very workable solution for now, we have rendered many assets just like this! Usually V-ray requires a bit more "Punch" in… -
Re: does geometry image format is .obj
also general speaking People don't refer to those files as geometry image files but rather object files, Mesh or Polygon data. Every 3d package has its own format to store a scene, materials, animations and textures. To save just the 3d model e.g. you want to use it for a game engine or get it into another program you… -
Re: need help with mobile asset pipeline
The Xnormal help document will tell you everything you need to know (although it's slightly outdated.) The reason I asked for the groups is because the ONLY map which gave me such issues was the Height Map, and it already says in the Xnormal Doc's that you need to divide your model at least 2 times before baking the Height… -
Re: Blender 2.5 Update Posted
There is a geometry counter however on the title bar. It's context sensitive too. I'll assume you know that, but a lot of people never see it. I'm not sure which keys I would remap myself. I've come to like everything as is. The only thing I don't like is the switching between vertex/face/edge modes in EDIT mode, but I use… -
Re: Nvidia Melody problems
make sure when you export your model is triangulated, melody doesn't like quads. also your highpoly model might be too big (filesize) try to break it up. the axis are all the same as in max as far as I know, I haven't had alot of problems. oh and don't use 3ds, use OBJ files, to keep the UVs when exporting the OBJ files… -
Re: zbrush mesh question.
Re-Topologizing may not be the only option. I would drop the mesh down to the possible lowest sub division and export it as obj. Import it to any other 3d modeling tool and fill the hole. Its better to have that sort of work flow to make sure that you wont screw it up. Oh if you dont have any 3d modeling tool. Try blender,… -
Re: does maya have any form of material inheritance?
with shaderfx you kinda get that anyway if you manage your sfx files. propagating the changes is admittedly a pain in the arse to do manually so we wrote some tooling to ease the misery. tbh. if I were doing it manually I'd export the sfx to a glsl/hlsl shader and use that instead -
Re: Best practices when creating assets specifically for Nanite
Under a million tris without long thin triangles is better. You can have 1-2 mil tri meshes too but UV ing those is a nightmare. You have two bake options, one is to bake the nanite mesh with itself or have one mesh under million tris and bake high on top of it. Above million its going to be an issue with file size… -
Re: Version4.5 not usable
Hello @pretorius64 , Is there a particular scene that is slowing down for you? is this just general usage? Can you try one of our demo scenes and see if you experience the same issues? What version where you using prior to updating? We can take a closer look if you're so inclined, feel free to email us at…
