Take 2! This is a more in-depth version of the tutorial. I'm now using an action i made to generate a blue channel from a normal map. It pumps up the details and makes them VERY punchy so they stick out and actualy look much more convincing. The tutorial files. - Sorry had to save a 512 to save on space. So i've been…
Hi! I have this scene I'm working on in Unreal Engine, and for some reason, the water material in the scene is not taking any static light. Base color is black, when it should be white, and there doesn't appear to be any reflections at all either. The scene is surrounded by a black mesh that blocks any skylight coming in.…
Zak you really should change your post title. From reading the posts its obvious no one really gets that this WAS a Steampunk gun at one time that you are now scrapping off most of the Steampunk elements to make it appear to be a more modern gun. You can edit your first post and change the title. As for the gun I think the…
Substance does work on Linux, at least the old Allegorithmic versions had dedicated Linux installers. If you still have a key you can get them from here: https://www.substance3d.com/legacy-builds/ Supposedly the steam versions still support Linux, I'm not sure if that is through the proton emulation layer or if it's…
The painting process in Substance Painter is very easy. You can paint in however many maps you want with each brush stroke and there's a layer/masking system similar to Photoshop. You can move up and down freely in texture resolution too without it messing up the maps. Here I used my AO to mask out dust, then toned it down…
Dropping a new Artstation post. Had some time to work on some modeling, texturing, and rendering practice for this laser sight =) https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YGW3ZX
Hey! Great step to start posting online. It's a really good habit to have since you'll learn to communicate about your work, making nice screenshots (even the WIP ones!) and getting feedback :+1: This is a great start so far! Right now it could really help to flesh out your meshes and blockout so you can see how the scene…
. Agree, I've never scanned anything but it seems like a fun learning project. Here are my 1st thoughts about what to do with the complications of this particular object, it doesn't look too "expensive", so I'd say get another one and "shave it till you get to a decent amount of fuzz" of if its possible zero fuzz. Then…
3D PRINTING: So for 3D printing I ended up using Formlabs Form 2 resin printer for my toys. The reason I chose this printer is 1) Our course has easy access to a personal form 2 printer meaning I don't have to outsource the prints from online companies etc 2) The Ultimaker printers we also use would not be capable of…
Yes, that was an oversight on my part. I was focusing more on making the assets animation friendly for cutscenes like intro scene or chest opening, and wasn't thinking of in game performance. Should I change the title of these? For optimization part I can do it up to the karen girl I made. Let me know if that needs any…
