Re: Anyone ever-
Well I would only ever work one or two layers if I was doing diffuse only (usually use one layer per "material" for example flesh, metal, cloth etc), and then one or two layers for overlays and tweaks. Maybe 10-20 layers for a full character diffuse only, all named and ordered nicely. For normal/diffuse/spec etc it gets a… -
nDo - Setting Up Maps on Channels
Hello guys, iam working right now for a little project using the new nDo from the Quixel suite. At the "old" nDo 2 i could remember that i was able to select the maps you've created and copositing them above channel links - named like normal/diffuse etc. - to overlay them all on a 3d view. (To See how Normal and Diffuse… -
Re: Misplaced textures are shown in the render view [3DSMax]
Well , thanks for your answers and also thanks for the VRay RT tip. But I didn't get what you guys mean. I just made a composite material and assigned it the materials. all of them have their "Show in viewport" option enabled. Also I tried to disable/enable "Show in viewport" in "MAP #3" and "MAP #14" but nothing changed.… -
Re: Proper linear workflow
Hi, By default, the PBR BaseColor, Metallic shader interprets the basecolor as sRGB and the other maps (roughness, metallic, normal..) as linear. The PBR Diffuse, Specular, Glossiness interprets the Diffuse and Specular as sRGB, the other maps as linear. You can force the linear interpretation for BaseColor, diffuse, spec… -
Re: Baroque Mini-Env
HP: yeah, I'm always mirroring as much as possible, almost all the assets in the scene are mirrored in several ways : ) I'm going to mirror the texture like you said, and use it for normalmap and base diffuse, and then use the lightmap -UVset for a tiling diffuse with vertexpaint for cracks and dirt : ) And yeah, right now… -
Re: 3dmax with Bodypaint - Advantage???
ZBrush is a different beast altogether. You cannot paint Specular, Gloss, Emissive, or any kind of special maps. You can only paint the Diffuse, and the diffuse relies on your vertices, meaning it stories the color information on your model instead of UV or textures. Look up Vertex Painting to see what I mean, ZB does… -
Re: Baking vs Texture based normals
I have another problem that popped into my head. I'm not sure if i should start a new thread but it is related. If I had 2 unique tileable 1024x1024 textures including diffuse and normal maps for each, that I wanted to combine onto my modeled Modular wall piece uv layout. How would I do that? Import the UVstamp from my 3d… -
Re: How do I make "simple textures" more professional looking?
Okay, metalness maps are supposed to be flat black or white, no greys :) For the grunge you'll want to make sure that it's completely black on the metalness map. You'll want the roughness to be really high for it and the diffuse should just be a mid-brown/grey tone. Rougher materials catch more light so diffuse colours… -
Re: 3DSMax RTT - How to bake using alpha thru DIF/NRM/etc.?
I've run into this problem before and as far as I can tell there is no way around it using RTT. The best solution is to set up a camera where you top viewport is, set your resolution to 2048x2048 (or whatever res you wish to render) and then render out your diffuse, normals, AO, Spec and whatever other maps you may want.… -
Re: Halo 4 BR
Aside from presentation, the biggest issue here is the materials. None of your materials read as a specific surface. Everything has a generic, concrete looking overlay texture on it, with generic bright white "edging". I can't pick out painted metal, plastic, rubber, or metals here. I would start fresh, research the…
