Re: Alpha Map Compression and Dithering
oxy, that is what I figured/ was afraid of- if your programmers told you to do that, they should be bludgeoned (if you thought of it, nice try but it doesn't work). You can put multiple 'channels' into a single channel with bitpacking, but it doesn't work by 'splitting' the channel. As MoP stated, simply splitting values… -
testing Xnormal and Substance painter, baking normal map
Hi, I now understand about the mikkt and you can work with one smoothing group or different smoothing depend on uv island etc... I test out this object for baking to see the result here the Xnormal result with 2048 and 256 : in xnormal show some shading effect small amount in 2048 but noticeable in 256 here in Substance… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
Playing with volume rendering again. This is the mannequin voxelized at 256*256*256 resolution. If the volume is used with the volume material domain, it even gets lighting. But no self shadowing unfortunately, because thats a limitation of the volumetric fog currently. So you can choose between getting light from scene… -

Texel Density Standards for AAA First-Person Shooter Games?
Hello community, I wish everyone a wonderful day. I have a question related to Texel Density. Currently, I am working on a medieval village map for my personal project. I want to establish a Texel Density standard for the majority of the modular assets in my map. I understand that, except for unique objects, the meshes in… -
Re: Haunted House Environment
I agree with 256*256 textures, the smallest resolution you work, the most you will pay attention to use them well. Some can say "oh, let's go with a 1024, this is not going to be pixelly", but they don't add details and spend not the work required for such a huge texture. If you render something good in 256, you will have… -
Texture sizes - calls
Its not brain science but it occurred to me that a 1024*1024 texture size contains 16 * 256 tiles. It seems that it would be rediculous to have 16 256 textures, but is it? Whats the impact of calling that number of textures since they would occupy little GPU memory? Being pretty poor at using UVW space efficiently does… -
Re: [WIP] RED V-Raptor camera, Plasticity practice
I'm back with some renders to show. However, they're not the ones you expected. Lenses: I wanted to achieve a realistic look. Not shiny and clean like it's from a commercial, nor dirty and scuffed like a game model. Artists have both types in abundance, so I wanted something different. Technical specifications: - 7 UDIMs… -
Re: New Laptop: Hardware Recomendations
Perfect; thanks a lot PolyHertz. I know a decent amount as far as hardware goes, but as far as the memory is concerned, the 256 DDR3 is faster simply because it is running 256 x 3, correct? Whereas the 512 DDR2 is a larger memory amount but runs slightly slower, correct? My mind is a bit fuzzy, but when it comes to DDR,… -
Re: modeling TV
"Yet another approach would be to create a texture atlas and map the lowpolys UVs to it." A bit OT but this brings to mind a Scifi environment mapped to just one 256*512 texture, consequently in the process as a lurking noob had my mind fairly blown into orbit unable to decipher the wherewithal how it was made, although…
