Hi, I'm currently baking in xNormal and prefer it over Maya. However, the project I'm currently working on requires the meshes to use multiple UV sets with groups of meshes sharing one AO map that is read from the second UV channel. Is it at all possible to be able to tell xNormal to bake using the second UV channel? Thanks
Thanks for your patient reply. I'm still getting the hang of this forum, but your tips should help me pick up the Q&A etiquette quickly. The approach you shared is incredibly useful. I'm learning Blender right now for product design visualization. I hit this specific roadblock and want to nail this skill so I can…
I thought I'd try my hand at a weapon skin set for the medic of bandage wrapped weapons. Band-Aid grips, blood soaked gauze wraps, maybe even kiss marks over scrapes and scratches on the gun. Suture and stitches and staples aren't out of the question either, though they may prove to be going a bit far. There's a lot of…
Where to begin? It's nice that you're doing fan-art, it helps to keep motivation during portfolio hell. Though be mindful that a scene like this isn't necessarily going to scream "Bloodborne" to anyone looking at it. Don't lean on it for recognition. And unless you're trying to get a job at Fromsoft (and trust me, you…
I realize being a broken record isn't fun for anyone, so I can see how people simply don't comment on newbie threads. Not complaining, rather seeking a solution. What's the best way for a new (ish) zbrush artist to get critiques, just on the simple boring stuff like anatomy and clothing? I've noticed a strange, "middle…
I’m excited to share my latest environment art project: a post-apocalyptic classroom workshop, created in Unreal Engine 5. Watch the Video: https://youtu.be/Uy470_QVEfc Breakdown: https://youtu.be/0OPbNM3nmbw Modeling was done in blender and texturing was done in Painter. I also used Quixel Mixer to blend materials.…
Hi I'm looking for a way to block off a road that would be believable in a quiet riverside town in Missouri. Obviously the roadblocks/ Army/ Rubble cliche's aren't going to do the job for this, does anyone have any ideas or where to look? The scene is a couple of houses in a suburban setting with a library and church, with…
So I've just dove into the wonderful new world of Quixel suite, been wanting to learn this for a while now. The problem that I'm having is that, when I open 3DO, everything is behaving differently then what it does in the tutorial videos. The view port looks very different (blurred and out of focus, zooming in/out changes…
Does anyone know if it is possible to set windows task scheduler to mount and unmount a external hard drive? I have this USB hard drive that does an automatic nightly backups of my work files but it makes a high pitched noise that I find irritating. Manually unplugging the drive isn't an option as I am sure I will forget…
Thanks Eric. I see . With "camera" i mostly meant a special "baking camera" Arnold had in 3d max when it was free plugin . I think around 2015-2017 . I am still trying to get same options like rays coming through alpha clipped planes with BTT . So far I get it but with artifacts even after setting zero padding . Looks like…
