Re: Is there a way to convert a Substance Painter file from spec/gloss to metal/roughness?
It's fairly easy to make a node in SD to convert Spec/Gloss to Metalness/Rough.. but it won't be fully automated, though. Basically mash your metal parts from the specular texture via mask onto the basecolor texture, and said mask will be your metalness texture. Invert the gloss map for roughness. Finding the metal parts… -

Re: Is Sub D/Poly modeling dead?
"...would you guys suppose this was sculpted or modeled? I've tried sculpting this before and it was very messy.

Re: Sketchbook: Andy Brown
This is a concept for a creature that I've been working on and this is still very wip. Any Critique is welcome. Long ago and far away: two hunters poached a once lush land of forests and lakes. Hidden behind their masks, the hunters trapped and killed all the creatures within reach in the name of money for their purses and… -

I'm sure most entry level guys have had to do their fair share of crappy tasks and I'm wondering how people deal with it. I currently have a task that i'm finding mentally exhausting.

Ranma 1/2 - Ranma and Akane Busts
I created these two busts after starting the new Ranma 1/2 show on Netflix. They’re modeled to resemble two shots from the original opening! For this project, I used Maya for modeling and rendering, with toon shaders inside Maya to achieve the final look. I then used Substance Painter to create masks and textures for the… -

mini tutorial - Maya duplicate along a curve (no mash, simple method)
if you look up how to duplicate along a curve in maya you will see there is no simple dedicated method even in 2024. The go-to method still seems to be MASH. MASH is good because it gives you all the flexibility you could want, however it is a chore to setup and has a ton of disjointed parameters you have to tinker with.… -
Re: [UE4] Recreating a scene from TES IV: Oblivion (WIP)
Worked on my wooden textures by adding some rough smoothing to them. The tool they used in medieval times is called an adze and it left marks like these: I made a tileable pattern in photoshop and then used NDO to overlay the pattern onto my existing normal maps, using a layer mask to mask out the pattern in places where…
