I'm really struggling to figure out how to create a nice and modular asset kit for a very large and complex environment. Here's an example: I'm gonna make the assets have actual geometry on each brick, like this for example: But that decision has come with many challenges. Namely, how to handle modular wall pieces and…
I'm new to ZBrush and learning a good deal from just simple brush testing but I'm looking for a brush that will allow me to crease topology. At the moment, I'm deforming a clean car buy using the move topology in a low deformation and then checking it out in a higher setting, but I'd like to be able to crease some of the…
Hello all, and thanks for letting me join polycount :) I am at the moment trying to get better at creating game assets, and while my modelling techniques are somewhat decent, my texturing abilities are not. Over the last few days i've been trying to create a base texture that looks like this: But i've been failing…
I'm curious to what technique everyone uses to create textures like rock or terrain? Do you hand paint yours? do you apply normal maps? Personally i'm trying to figure out what the benefit of using certain techniques are. For example the way i texture my models right now is simply modeling, uving, photoshop, then bringing…
after I inserted an xref file (using drag) into scene, I want to make some instances from that file using shift+drag. but it only makes instance from root dummy of xref. I tried to insert xref from application menu, as I need to control all imported instances by one object(such as a dummy) so using "xref objects" is not…
I highly recommend reading these articles as well, on procedural material generation and theory. https://80.lv/articles/creating-an-assault-rifle-in-sunstance-3d-painter-and-unreal-engine-5 https://80.lv/articles/how-to-texture-worn-out-sniper-scope-in-substance-3d-painter
Diving into my first environment piece using Unreal Engine and I have a few questions. I've really only modeled bigger props before and have started to use Substance Designer recently. A few questions:1. What size textures are usually used for walls/ceilings/floors?2. When UVing a room, do you UV the wall/ceiling/floor…
I made a feature request on the official 3dsmax forum for improvements to the new smart chamfer modifier; Evenly distributed edges along the chamfer geometry and inset loops along the borders of the new chamfer geometry. /!\ Please vote for this improved smart bevel feature request on the official 3dsmax website here: /!\…
I'm not so sure the Crease Edge Features is only for SubD modeling. It works on a single edge without producing any subdivision to harden it. It looks to me like the effect of creasing an edge produces a hard edge, so the outcome appears to be the same as hardening edges. Just the Quick Selection Sets are more clumsy than…
Hello, I am making my college project in maya. I need a forest to model in maya which will take time and my project got heavy. IS THERE ANY BEST WAY TO CREATE A FOREST.:poly122:
