Re: Cavity map in 3ds max
That doesn't look right to me, it looks like you rendered a diffuse map with a normal map applied and lights and shadows ticked on? Typically cavity maps don't have a direction to the lighting, it's just a pits and peaks kind of thing. The cavity map baker in 3dsmax only works with the target geometry (typically a low poly… -
Re: Unfolding UV for Human figures -best practices?
Normal maps are seamless if you bake them right. There are a few tricks to painting out diffuse seams, skin tone is probably one of the easiest types of seams to fix. 3dsmax >Viewport Canvas allows you to paint on the model, it even has a clone tool. In 2D view wherever you paint on one seam it spreads to all the other… -
Re: [UDK] Dwarf Throne Room
Yeah Rabant is spot on with the Spec and lighting. If you go with a complete white spec when the light comes across your objects (Stone) Its going to show almost pure white which over your diffuse might not be to noticeable but I find its the same practice when creating hand painted textures, shadows and highlights are… -
Re: Tut: Baking AO Maps Using a Normal Map
I don't like the results - I played with it this afternoon. It's quite similar to a system I use, but instead of metal ray I use a lightdome. It's scripted, so it created the (multisub) material by duplicating the main material and erasing the spec and diffuse maps. It renders much faster and I think the results are nicer.… -
Re: TGA Physically Based Lighting CGFX Shader for Maya Viewport
So here's a quick description of how to work with the new textures of this shading method. You can see examples of these textures used for the "Rusty Paint" in the original post. [size=+1]Albedo[/size] This is just like a diffuse texture you are familiar with. Remember only to paint the materials color, not light… -
Re: Moving uvmap and texture simultaneously?
I believe it was Stimpack who originally posted this in the tread about a lantern being too green... anyway i copied out this system, as it hauls. Ive only used it once but i think this is what Vig is saying anyway; just thought I would try and keep passing this on. I am copy pasting this from someone else, this is not me;… -
Re: How would I unwrap and bake this car model?
First of all awesome, its a Supra! Now for automotive work you model the car mid poly, I have never seen automotive work going through high and low poly. Due to the nature of car's curvature shifts and mostly flat areas. Usually you bake the mid poly car onto itself to get the required maps. Having said that vehicles that… -
Re: Marmoset 2 - Washed out Maps
Sorry for the late response here. This is essentially all that matters, and it looks like you've got a good understanding here. Yes, these are common and logical reason for picking color spaces, but not necessarily absolute rules. Maps that represent mathimatical values make sense to be in linear space otherwise the… -
Need help understanding what these maps are and how to connect them.
Hi everybody. So my questions are kind of all over the place. I've been trying to read and watch videos, but I find it hard to find exactly something that helps me with explaining the maps that I have. So I found a model online to start testing PBR with. I can upload it if it doesn't break the rules. So I have diffuse,… -
Re: UDK - Mountain Valley Environment
Your newest shots are really looking great. You shouldn't need to be adding emmissive values to your diffuse textures if lighting is set up properly though. Try going into World Properties and adjusting the Environment Colour and Environment Intensity first of all. As default this is black - nothing should ever be pure…
