Re: How do I animate fabric to crease when object bends?
It really depends on what app you're using (I'm guessing max?) and what you are outputting to. You would have one set of maps for wrinkled and one for normal and then blend between them with the composite map (not composite material). The Composite Map allows you to create "layers" similar to photoshop and blend their… -
[UE4] Massive Geo-Specific Landscape ( The Valley )
tldr: I put a big freaking landscape into UE4 and made a bunch of cool tech to help make our live's easier. This is a geo-specific 12km x 12km map at 1 meter resolution we made here at the Army Game Studio. The actual location I am not allowed to say. Around 6km of it is actually populated with afghan style props and… -
How to use both tiling and not-tiling textures on large objects
Hello guys! It is a pleasure to finally be part of community of Polycount. I have a problem with texturing bigger objects like walls. Attached picture is an example of final effect i want to reach: -two blended tiled textures, -one horizontal tiled texture on top/bottom, -few decals textures in specific areas. And that all… -
Re: 3dsmax alpha glitch
this is not just a max problem but really every 3d app that supports alpha blending unless you do alpha testing (i doubt that you can tell max to do that ) which gives you some ugly hard alpha edges but sorts properly or you build you hair with actual opaque geometry ... which will inevitability give you a stylized look in… -
Re: [3ds max] How to apply additional textures to a face in 3ds Max?
You need more vertices if you want to add more detail in your vertex blends. Working in 3ds Max with vertex painted multi-texturing is not very easy. There's no built-in preview for the viewport. You can make a custom viewport shader in Shader FX, but that can be difficult (however, rewarding!). I have a screenshot of a… -
Re: How does one substance designer work in a game environment workflow?
Technically, to paint a landscape you would use landscape layers to paint in the landscape tab, which is slightly different than painting by vertex. You still may often paint models by vertex with a pretty complex material setup. You can use your vertex colors as a blend in a lerp node between multiple colors, normals, or… -
Re: Maya CGFX Shader: KoddeShader v2.0!
Marine> Thanks for sharing. Hmm, I never actually tried the Blended Normals feature on an object which had hard edges. Makes sense though. This feature is intended to use on surface which are supposed to look like skin. This should probably mean that it won't be that many hard edges. In your case could you not just make… -
Re: Substance Designer "Getting Started"
It takes time to learn the program, yes. I think without a library, but knowing the program, you can be as fast as you were before, maybe a tad slower, but you will be able to things you couldn't with PS. Thing is you don't need to build a library: Bake inside SD, it really is better than Max or Maya, also easier than… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - Nov. & Dec. 2016 (45)
@b0lly I was thinking on doing that way after the challenge to test the difference in performance, right now my mesh is not ready for that workflow, I'll need to add loops to maintain the edges. There is a video from allegorithmic that explains this workflow for the painter, you can use the theory on any texturing program.… -
Re: Victorian mansion - UDK environment
Looking pretty cool! Nice work so far, I like the direction your heading with this too. For the hedges and topiary, you would be surprised how easy they are to make. http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=67620 One box nested inside another. The inner box has a solid leafy texture applied, the second has a opacity…
