Re: little demo reel fight
Everyone has a different workflow and for fight scenes it can be easier to animate straight ahead. You can do your initial poses in stepped keys (usually by keying all the controls) and it allows for easy re-timing. Then move onto the breakdowns which will help sell the weight. After that is when you can move to… -
Re: Improve metal scratches?
I would say with scratches, don't be afraid to photo-sample, it'll give you the most realistic look, esp. if it's something fairly linear like a knife where placement/orientation of edgewear can be relatively straight. Alternately, use a square brush with a slight rotation/size jitter. Paint in rough/sloppy scratches, then… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Klemen Lozar
Great look and cool technique! Also build up and impact are impressingly cool. The mid part could feel a bit more dynamic though, maybe the UV animation could be less linear. Good old massaging of curves could do the job here. On the other hand the movement can be intended as it is and its absolutely fine... damn lovely ^^ -
Re: Best way to use a tiling texture for one part of a model only?
You can do two things. One would be to assign a second material to your walls, and using a tiling texture in it. The second option is to make a mask texture for the walls, and using it as a alpha of a linear interpolate which would lerp between the tiling texture, and your current texture. The second solution would create… -
Re: Stylised Demon Character [WIP]
Thanks Terry, the knuckles are meant to echo the style of the elbow, with circular folds instead of linear ones - do you feel its not working? I lowpoly'd, baked and textured the book just now, not sure if i will keep the orange glow or replace it with blue to match the rest of his glowing stuff.. probably need to darken… -
Re: Workflow for UE4?
Just to point out 2 things, Adding an alpha to albedo doesn't save memory. Adding an alpha to a texture double's it's cost which is basically the same as having 2 separate textures. And btw roughness has to be linear while albedo should be sRGB so basically roughness shouldn't be put into albedo's alpha (unless you counter… -
Re: SP to Unreal Alpha issue
Found a thing the other day that helps shed light on this. I had forgotten that UE4's texture samplers have a type to them in addition to the texture settings. Be sure SRGB is off in all your textures. Go to the material editor and change the color sampler to "Linear color" Do the same for the roughness etc texture. That… -
Re: Is there a feature like zbrush Zgrab in 3ds max?
@poopipe yeah mate, that's it. But it's been so long since I did either of the things I mentioned that I'd almost forgotten about them. :) @pixelquaternion The banding is as a result of how black/white gradients are viewed in a linear workflow. It's best to disable gamma and render it using scanline. But yes, Zbrush is… -
Re: Optimization in Unity via Deleting UV Shells with Matcap shaders
Depends how Unity loads the model, whether it tosses a UV on there automatically. You can easily check the vert count in the Inspector. Do a test, compare a cube with and without UVs. Matcap is old school, it uses spherical environment mapping, so it depends on the vertex normals of the model. If you have less verts, the… -
Re: Setting up max for lowpoly lighting
You know any shaders? It's really simple to set up a shader with unfiltered diffuse samplers, and you could just get that shader to use shadows. If you're not afraid to get you hands dirty, just edit the code in my shader to state "POINT" instead of "LINEAR" for the diffuse sampler. Then you get all the shader features +…
