Re: making a billboard in 3dsmax?
No, the RTT is different. But actually now I remembering, there are serious issues with alpha in the baker(discussed a few times here in the technical talk), so probably what you are linking works a lot better. Here is how I would do: I would place a camera where I want, and then simply render out passes with different… -
Re: Detail Maps..?
Typically a detail map is a smaller texture (say 256x256) that tiles hard across the surface of your model with a high texel density. They are used in next gen-shaders togheter with a bigger size diffuse or color map for variation. u blend the two textures togheter in the shader (say multiply the diffuse on the detail)… -
Re: Nicks Thread of work and Crapness
I have a spec map creation question.... What is a good standard work flow for generating a spec map from a diffuse? Obviously just creating a gray scale from a diffuse is going to give poor results because it wont accurately interpret the materials (metal vs wood etc). Is it best to start with black and just paint till it… -
Re: Should i be working in PBR from now on?
Nearly all PBR systems use IBL. There is no such thing as a "dielectric metal", those two properties are mutually exclusive. Raw metals are never dialectic or insulators. It's important to remember that you're representing the top layer of a material. So a metal with that is coated with plastic/rubber, painted, or oxidized… -
Re: UE4 Tiling Rock Wall
This, exactly. I never said the texture I posted was a work of art, just a quick 2 minute fix to show how he can strip more lighting information out. I would agree that it looks flat and even plain ugly - surprise, your diffuse may not look as amazing when going through a PBR workflow! Your normal, height and AO (separate… -
Re: SP - PBR Workflow in Viewer?
Lack of time to implement/maintain the feature mostly. Also the fact that conversion from metal/rough to spec/gloss is feasible. We will bring back the spec/gloss shader in a future update. 100% accurate conversion from metal/rough to spec/gloss is possible. The opposite conversion is not always possible however, but the… -
UDK Unlit Mobile Game
Hey guys, i have a question for everyone. Basically i am trying to create a mobile game which has all of its lighting already baked into the diffuse textures of the meshes. This game is set inside a building so therefore i need light sources to light up the corridors, but since i've already baked my lighting into the… -
The Beast - Wolfie
Messing around with a werewolf style beast, lots to figure out still, and planning on doing a diffuse only model. Final Submission! Closeup/Thread header image: Full Frame: Full Frame (Wires): Closeup(s): Wolfie Texture - 4096 Diffuse: Pedestal texture - 2048 Diffuse: Background: "Wolfie was banished from his homeland so… -
Re: Student texture artist learning thread
i guess, the usual way to create textures is just the other way around: dont start with the diffuse. if you want to use the scene as a portfolio piece, you probably want to do the high poly-low poly-bake workflow to get nice details in a normal map. with some other bakes you can then start your other texture maps. if you… -
Re: Game 3D Models Vs. Movie 3D Models
PBR is not really a definition and is more like a framework. There are several PBR models. They are physically more accurate than older models (blinn/phong...) but also more costly to calculate. Their main feature is that diffuse and specular reflections are mutually exclusive. rough object = high diffuse and low spec…
