Re: [Seeking Feedback] WoW Garrison Fan Art (WIP)
Here's some progress on my project: I did a black and white test on my render and realized the contrast on the wood and the stone bricks were too similar. I brightened up the bricks, and bumped down the contrast on the material. I also darkened the wood and added more contrast. Much happier with the result. I tried many… -
Re: Should I be worried about this warning message?
I'll show you what I'm doing specifically: basically I placed all my modular pieces in editor before I did any uvs or lightmaps. Then when I had everything all set up nice, I went back, uved them for both textures and lightmaps and reimported. I used two separate 512 tileable textures on the following example piece: This… -
Re: SteamPunk Carriage
Few quick notes - - think about the wear and tear users would cause - some scratches, dirt and wear around the door handle, maybe as if it was coming into contact w/ the door as it was always being opened and closed. The foot steps would show more wear, etc. - Looks like your 'shadows' are painted into the interior… -
Re: Pa 350
Just with a quick look see the things that stick out to me are... Negatives. 1. Your UV density is a bit off, example, On the Guns the barrel has a lot more texture space assigned to them than the large chamber mesh which players, your audience will see more/easier. And when you think about how you can texture a gun barrel… -
Re: Megascans, the road to awesomeness!
Hello, I got swamped with other works but this is something I'm gonna get back to soon. I'm not using Maya, everything is rendered in UE4 with typical lights. For ferns and clovers I used a spot light. I've used a Cine Cam for screenshots with all settings being at their defaults and only adjusting the focus distance. For… -
Re: Max>Zbrush workflow?
Hi, I'd say the most common process is slightly different, but it can vary depending on the final product you need to obtain. In general I walk through the following steps: For organic/character modeling: 1. Create a fairly simple, sculpt friendly, base mesh in 3ds Max -> evenly dense mesh with mostly quads. It should be… -
Re: Texture Artist Blog
its a cool blog idea, I wish there was more stuff out there like this (there probably is, but its not really and easy find) anyways just for discussion sake and going to the halo normal map discussion: I dont think they just slapped the super noise normal on top of the master chief normal map to be like WHEE its SOooo… -
Re: 1 Large Texture or Few Small Textures?
Always bunch up textures when you can. Because it saves on state changes and pipeline stalls. When renderers actually get to the part where they start drawing stuff (after deciding what needs to be drawn) the process involves looping through the materials and drawing everything that uses that material. To change a material… -
Re: Shell Modifier equivalent for Maya...
You've found some interesting stuff, I never realized that insert edge loop tool has an option for a profile curve. Generally though, in maya, when you are creating curves you do it with the create EP or CP curve tools which are under the create menu. After that, to do work with them you have to go to the surfaces menu set… -
Re: Why so blue?
Hey dudes, great info in this thread, thanks for sharing! Wanted to chip in on self-shadowing normal maps, or at least valve's implementation (coined SSBump). I've been using SSBumps quite a bit in my mod so I have some experience with them. Mattbush is correct in his statement that these are only used with Valve's…
