Re: Watermill Environment - No Rest for the Wicked
I have been working on my roof, and I am considering two approaches to achieve results similar to No Rest for the Wicked. Since the game uses a top-down view, their roof tiles are quite flat because they don’t require much depth. However, this wouldn’t work in my environment, as I want it to work well from multiple angles.… -
Importing Meshes and assigning Materials (Re-import Resets materials)
Meshes that have multiple Material ID's and multiple assigned materials in UDK have problems when the model is 're-imported'. I use FBX files (with multiple meshes in one file) And when I import the (updated) models again (in the same group and package in UDK, this will overwrite and effectively update the models), the… -
[UE4 Shaders] Is there a way to call a (Material Function) with in a (Material Instance)?
I am trying to build a blend shader that blends together 4 different tileable materials through a RGB texture or vertex color. Here it is working: Right now its all hard coded into the shader and it works fine, but I want to organize it so I can use Material Instances. Here is my issue, I want to be able use prepacked… -
Material ID Colour/Material issue.
Hi, I've become a big fan of Marmoset Toolbag 3's baking since I started playing around with it on a recent project. I'm really impressed at the control and options I have but one thing I have had issues with is the Material ID. in Zbrush I am exporting my FBX with each subtool representing a different baking group and… -
ID mask and Detail mask in 1 material, UE5
Hi, i'm making a interior environment and I have quite a few props I need to model. I would like to do it correctly and efficiently, doing a material with PBR textures in a layered approach. All I want is to be able to have 1 single material with 3 surfaces, based on ID map. Then I want a detail map for the dirt, dust,… -
How do you use IRO for opaque materials?
Hello! I've been informed about the use of the index of refraction for opaque materials such as brick, and I'm curious about how they apply it in Unreal for opaque materials. Should I configure it with the same settings as glass, like using Translucent and fast forward shading? I haven't come across many tutorials on this… -
Best Practice for Multiple Materials? Materials Functions or Element Slots?
Im making a building that's going to be using multiple materials, concrete for the ground, metal for the door handles, wood for the walls etc. What is the best and most optimized approach to do this? Do I use one material that contains multiple material functions? Assign material elements slots to the mesh? Or a mix of… -
Re: Consolidate Materials into a MultiSub Materials - 3ds Max
See if this new script suits your needs. I've also fixed a bug that added duplicate material IDs to the multisub if you selected objects in a certain way. Objects that had the same material applied to them that were selected right after one another would cause this. macroscript objectsToMultiSubcategory:"BCTools"( if… -
Re: How are you actually handling AI-generated mesh cleanup before engine handoff?
I would like to see AI work on the boring parts... do nice UVs for me, bake my normal maps properly, auto-assign materials for me, weight the bones nicely, etc. But I'm hearing that none of the boring stuff is worth the work, because it's not enough to drive a bunch of revenue. -
UE3 Materials: Is this kind of Translucent Material Possible?
Hi guys, I am moderately experienced with UDK's material editor but I have no idea how to "program" a very particular feature into my material... I'd like to create something very similar to DepthBiasedAlpha, but with a twist: I want the material's opacity to change depending on the Z-axis depth to the surface beneath it,…
