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: 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… -
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… -

Render to Texture and UnrealEd
Sorry about asking such a vauge question. I'm having trouble with the Render to Texture stuff. I don't know if its my ignorance on the subject or if I'm doing something wrong, but it's not coming out right. I'm mostly interested in the LightMap so I can import the mesh into UnrealEd (Realtime2/UT2k3...hopefully 2k4 soon… -
Issues with Specular Map in Substance Painter
Hi all, I have a question about what I'm showing in my screenshot here. I have been messing with the different layers to have the Specular Map look similar to the Diffuse/Albedo Map I have here displayed. I have been trying multiple different blending modes to have the different layers appearing correctly so that it… -
Grass texture and texture blurring in UDK
Hey all, I'm just trying to put together a decent texture for an environment I'm working on. I've basically created a number of diffuse textures which I'm happy with, the spec is ok I think but it still doesn't look as good as I'd like. This may be down to the normals but I'm open to suggestion. I've just CrazyBumped the… -
Hair Material Issue
Hi polycounts forums, I have a problem which is that I can't seem to get the hair translucency to look good on any mesh. For example: That is a mesh that consists of three hair clumps, it's just a test to see how hair is gonna look. So For that one I made a texture in photoshop that has RGB information for the hair diffuse… -
Normal Maps Again
Im trying to see if I can find and justification to give to our programmer about incorporating 3Dc or DXT5_NM for tangent maps since I found out the engine we use can only do tangents - period. . I found nvidia's showing Ids document about the different normal map options.…
