Re: Modo: Pixel Snapping UVs
To accomplish this I've set up a popup form that runs a set of scripts that: 1. Set the Coordinate Rounding to "Fixed" 2. Set the Fixed Increment to one of the following values: 0.125 = My modeling snap setting, I switch to this when not UVing. 0.03125 = 1 pixel on a 32 x 32 map 0.015625 = 1 pixel on a 64 x 64 map… -
Can I do 16 bit UVs in Maya?
I sometimes encounter an issue with deformed textures and losing details in some regions of my models, like normals or edge highlights, after importing my assets to Unreal. The reason being is that Unreal rounds up UV coordinate numbers, unless full precision UVs are enabled for static mesh: Here are some examples. Left is… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
It looks like one solution to speed up the normal map baking could be to split up the rendering into workers (duplicate actors) rendering smaller sections, parallal. From what I see, reading the huge array of pixels is the bottleneck here. This is why it gets faster when its split up into smaller sections (shorter arrays).… -
Jagex Art Test [Lots o' pics]
So, recently i considered applying for a job at Jagex, since their offices arn't too far from where i live at the moment, i spoke with one of their modellers (PC member too i believe) and they linked me to an art test, so here is my crack at it. "General restrictions for all models In addition to the tri limits the… -
Re: [ July Update] Our Ghosts of War
Aleksa finally wrapped up his M12 Trench Gun for Our Ghosts of War. How's it look? It's been in development for the past three weeks and I'm personally very happy with the results. The MG42 and a Panzer IV tank turret were also finished up this week and I'll have renders of those soon. I've been doing a lot of planning for… -
Re: CrazyBump beta
[ QUOTE ] This is verry nice, you just need to make a good height map before you get it in CrazyBump(like making the hair on a face white instead of black). Directly importing the color map leads to some height errors. Anyway it is really great, will save me a lot of time, thx a lot Ryan! [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Hi… -
Re: 3dcoat seems superior to zbrush in every way?
@Benjammin i did some quick test: at 32 million triangles voxel and surface sculpting shows a tiny bit of lag, but still very useable at 128 million it is laggy enough that i consider it not useable (though you could if you really had to) I have a 3090 GPU and 64gb ram, and this is 3d coat 2024.13 I have no idea how this… -
Re: Old Dog Needs New Tricks - Game Asset Advice please?
Many, many thanks to Kanni3d for that fantastic reply above. Working in isolation is a nightmare when you need solid info to learn from, and the above has been really useful in confirming what I thought I knew and informing me in areas I was ignorant. With this new guidance, I've gone back to the Cryo-Crate mesh that was… -
Re: 3DS max UV packing
When it comes to assets of an sort of complexity, I do all the UV packing manually. Firstly I unwrap each element and move related elements near it into little mini-groups, and then I pack all the groups into the full layout. Auto packing generally sucks, so you gotta do this by hand if you want an efficient layout. Also… -
Re: SciFi Support Beam
cool stuff guys! heh ill have my skin updated soon, got caught up with some things. Zat: i will occasionally, if i need to go in to add some major damage / texture to the normal map that is not easilly done in phtoshop (subtle ripples, bubbles, etc). Most of the time though, its all ps. One of the problems with the ps…
