The renders above look like poser art, which is to say purchased assets put together to form an image. There is nothing wrong with that, but you have to be pretty good to pull it off. The difference in the quality of the figure and background makes the images jarring to look at. It looks like the model doesn't belong in…
Thank you Alex! I have done experiments with nanite and decided not to use this time for two reasons. The first one is that for thin geometry, in this case grass strands for example, the rendering gets very noisy as you get further away from the foliage. The rendered polygons get so thin that it can't be rendered well.…
We are in 2021 and I find myself with this same problem hehe I have the same problem :'( , can you build a simple example of how it has to be built? :) monster
I cant seem to wrap my head around how this would work. For example, a rug with a pattern on it - how would a detail color map work for the rug pattern?
I'd recommend taking the time to break down, with a 2D paintover, the planes of the face on Michael B Jordan. I recommend the Asaro head as an example of how that should look.
You can bend Speedtree to your will, by substituting the leaf meshes with your own branch-style textures, or even substituting them with the meshes from your 2nd example.
Also, you can make UV-pieces really small if no one will even see it, for example back part of wardrobe or/and top and bottom part of wardrobe, something like that
This would be a the best topology in this case. The closer a triangle is to equilateral, the more optimal it is. Your second example would still be triangulated to similar shaped long tris as the fan topology.
A simple example would be to plug a shape into a distance node and that into a normal node If you set the distance to 10 and the normal intensity to 10 you'll get a 45degree angle (at 2048)
Looks extremely good, but why don't you use metallic for all metal parts, like the gun metal of the barrel for example (trying to better understand PBR myself)?
