TIPS AND TRICKS: Blender - An Export Colour ID Addon and Other Useful Information
As a blender user i've found exporting a material/colour ID map quite awkward, resorting to bakes and having to enable or disable blender options to get a clean unaltered diffuse colour render. A process that is both fiddly and time consuming. By chance I came across the offical BLender uv layout addon to export the uv… -
How to make World of warcaft models/textures?
I have been searching over some informations on internet how to make world of warcraft or wow-like style models and textures. I could not find public documents or .pdf files that are officially published by Blizzard. For example - Steam has official .PDF file and tutorials for their Dota2 models, textures even shaders.… -
Re: Stone Bridge Project - Advice Needed
So, I have managed to create a small rock formation that would be attached to the bridge. Because I can't afford substance designer/Painter at the moment, I will be making most out of photoshop and the paint feature in MODO to create my Diffuse, normals, AO and spec map. The quality won't be up there compared to using… -
Re: Wierd 3D modeling method?
I have tried Mudbox & ZBrush and I am beginning to think I kinda prefer traditional modeling to ZBRushing or Mudboxing.I don't know why.I think its way faster and I kinda feel I have more control over my mesh especially with inserting edge loops where u need to and also when modeling stuff that u need to extrude from a… -
Re: ShaderFX TGA PBL shader
Hey @kodde, I was able to load your Maya 2016 sfx shader in 3ds Max 2018 and it works flawlessly! I'm investigating a way to edit glTF models in 3ds Max, and see an equivalent preview of how they'll look in the BabylonJS web 3d viewer. Your shader is really really close! This isn't my model, it's from the GitHub samples.… -
Re: A place to learn and improve
The scratch looks like a resolution issue. It looks like the wasn't enough geo in the high poly or you didn't bake out your textures at a high enough resolution. Did you bake from a decimated model? If so I usually try to retopologize with the decimated then bake with the full resolution high poly. It just bakes cleaner.… -
Re: He-Man (MOTU) !!WIP!!
Sorry guys, first picture's pretty huge, forgot to rescale it. It's 3.30AM over here in Austria and I am a bit tired. So, this picture is from a previous version (the one I've made the last renders from). It has no diffuse, red and green channels flipped (sorry dur23 - no real frontlight on this one). Now the weird thing… -
Re: Newbie question about ambient occlusion
the tiling stuff is a good point (and actually the same as good old lightmaps), for unique you are right it makes more sense to bake into diffuse. In that sample I purely use the AO, which is wrong as all color and texture is lost in ambient, which wouldnt be the "right" thing, as you mentioned. Purely using the diffuse… -
Re: Render-to-texture alpha transparency / Marmoset issue
If you're using the old Marmoset, you need to: 1. Place the opacity map (Black is transparent, white is opaque) in the alpha channel of your diffuse texture and save it as a 32bit TGA. 2. Change the Blend Mode of the material to something other than "None", most likely "Alpha" will work best. 3. Uncheck "alpha testing" in… -
