Re: Autodesk Maya 2016
Definitely Maya -> Photoshop -> Maya type thing, no reason to try to compete with the tools photoshop has because even a good effort will fall short and there will be people wishing there was xyz in maya and then just default back to using another app. Just letting it snapshot and project back on to the texture with a way… -
Re: correct terminology: shader maps? render maps? what are they called?
why don't we homogonize normal maps and xyz cord directions and scale? -
Re: Sketchbook: Edvard Svensson
@rafregidor Thanks :) All you got to do is import a mediumsubdivided/decimated character into maya/modo/max move him above the grid and scale to somewhere in the scale of a person, my character is about 1,8m tall. When all of that is done, export that and you're now working within MD's scale. Getting all of this into… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2014 Edition
After working with Cryengine for years, I've decided to try out Unreal Engine 4. Foliage clustering greatly influenced this decision, as did blueprints and UE's material system. That, and I decided it was time to get my hands dirty with PBR. I went with a more realistic approach, I felt that was fitting because PBR. No… -
Re: No Pie`s Workshop Thread
could you tell me what program you use for modelling? if it's blender, before your rig your ward, press n, and make sure your ward is sitting and xyz 0 and has so scale on any of the axises either. Then go into object mode, select it all and adjust it the way you want to rig it. other than that, I have no clue what the… -
Re: Giving joints/bones names
Just out of curiosity what app? Are you using IK/FK blending? HandL HandL_A01 (1st finger "A" 1st digit) HandL_A02 (1st finger, 2nd digit) HandL_A03 (1st finger, 3rd digit) HandL_B01 (2nd finger, 1st digit) ect... Normally there is a prefix, I use the characters Initials so the whole name looks like XY_HandL_A01 If I have… -
Re: Tech art blog, aimed at simplifying the tech for artists...
Hey this is cool, I'm looking forward to seeing articles that cover more advanced topics. I would say that this first blog is a bit too short, it ends right before it gets good. I'd like to see how you can apply this knowledge, like using 3 point vectors in unreal to manipulate normal maps or tint albedo maps, with… -
Re: prepare model for vertex color
Uh, not sure why this "avoid tris" thing is so persistent but its thoroughly false. Your model WILL be in tris in the engine. Period. It also sounds like you're not quite clear on what vertex color is. Its simply additional color information stored with each vertex of the model. So rather than just storing… -
Re: Derivative Normal Maps - What are they?
Computron: I guess that's what it is? I have no idea, since the closest I have come to it is Append RG from textures and multiply it by 0,0,1 (which is very situational) or use DeriveZ (which costs a little more). Either way, I still see in terms of instructions, the Texture weighing in at 47 vs the Append/Mask + Z as 51,… -
Re: [UE4] ~ Interactable grass, how do I make it react to every PC and NPC?
Physics is not an option, for this thing. I've watched an extensive tutorial/test and it's clear that a number of physics actors above 20 already starts affecting performance. Knowing the distance from the player is not a problem.....actually could be a solution!! Each actor calculates its own XYZ distance from the player…
