Re: Knald - Master Thread
I've tried re-exporting the High Poly from Blender a number of times with a number different options now (Re-calculating normals, smooth/sharp shading, smooth groups on/off, etc) and I'm still getting wonky results. How did you manage to get the result you did? Thanks again for the insight! -
Re: Locker Room Diaroma - First attempt at Substance Painter
Just posting some updates. There is a number of areas that I am not happy with in the scene, such as the hgih rust on the lockers and the door. I am balancing this project and a number of other modules of university so I simply do not have the time to fix issues, but after my coursework is finish I will definietly go back… -
Re: Cagdasx44's Workshop Thread
Bro, you really have to stop worrying about number of tris when you are making base mesh. Make the base mesh as smooth as possible, then make the highpoly then retopo it a specific number of tris. Trust me, it won't work like this (I had the same problem), learn how to retopo, then your life will be much easier :) -
Re: Is there a way to "mask" some vertices/polys when using soft selection?
Work in vertex subobject. Select the vertex you want. Set the Edge distance to a number. Increase the falloff until it stops. Increase the Edge distance to a higher number. Now the falloff can be increased further. So you can limit the falloff with edge distance. Also try flipping on and off affect backfacing in soft… -
Re: what texel density 2048 or 4096
@poopipe: I'm tempted to argue that you probably don't really need texel/pixel parity at these kinds of resolutions, but then again, I'm admittedly a bit out of touch (and need glasses) and as long as the hardware supports it, some headroom can't hurt for filtering etc. That being said, 2048 seems still high to me, but… -
Re: Cyberpunk - Wasteland project - Come join us!
I think what he meant was, numbers are meaningless in that sense. I could have 1000+ hours of code which makes a Hello World window... I'm really not a very good programmer. Basically you can't use numbers like that to qualify how good your team is, it means nothing. That said, one of my models is 1337 triangles. -
Re: Texture workflow for RTS game
You absolutely can plan performance in advance. The trick is to approach it like an engineer. Setup a test level with test assets that tests for the thing you want to profile. Then use the performance numbers you get from that to inform your decisions. For example if you want to see the effect of atlassing on performance… -
Re: ordering a list of vectors into a line
If this is only for a very small number of points you can just loop through them one at a time while checking distance (via Pythagorean Theorem or whatever existing distance function you have access to) to all others you haven't already checked. If it's for a large number of positions then you may want to look into… -
Re: Zero views on my ArtStation profile despite having a Pro subscription—any advice?
how is having a pro account linked to having viewers? i am not sure you can buy "viewers" on artstation, much like you can on social media, but i wouldnt be surprised. but whats the gain here? fake viewers who dont care, just a high number of nothingness. as with any platform this has to be earned, over long times, just… -
Re: Questions about rigging "maximum of 64 bones"
It really depends on your engine. You can encode the necessary bone matrix as quaternions which reduce it to just 2 registers for each bone (=128 bones max for SM2/3). The number of bone weights is independent of the number of constant registers. But it is a common assumption, that 4 influencing bones per vertex are enough…
