Re: basic knowledge help
kanga - yeah, similarly for a bevel 'shader' workflow at material level if baked with hard edges as opposed too firstly projecting for example, your hard surface primary (quad topology) baked data onto the same correctly prepared proxy. An early bevel node baking series at 2048px * 2 texture resolution of a medium poly… -
Re: 3DS Max Particles to Object Shape
One thing that will help is if you set the leaves to display as bounding boxes instead of full geometry (Select leaves, right click, Object Properties, check on "Display as Box". You can also set the Display node back to ticks, but even that can start to chug max. You can also set the "Visible %" in the display node to… -
Re: Advice for 3d environmental artist?
Substance Painter is pretty cool, it seems to focus on painting on the actual model. It also has a really cool particle painting simulation, which can be useful. Substance Designer is probably a bit more suited for traditional texture work though. It can be a little tedious and overwhelming at first trying to get used to… -
Re: Maya LT 2017, extract/separate messes up mat IDs?
I have an old thread that relates to this, but I never really went back to update my findings. Short answer is that per-face material assignments in maya are fucked and have been for a long time, there's lots of operations that can sneak in and cause the issue. Short solution is to use this script instead of separate, you… -
Re: Creating a Proxy in 3ds max 2013 for Cryengine 3
First off you could have posted this in the CryEngine section :P For your problem, I don't really get it, the material editor also didn't changed a lot (you don't have to use the node-based version just change to compact and you get the good old editor). Now to you Question.. Just create a simple Box that fits the size of… -
Re: UDK - Maelstrom/Whirlpool - Creation Process?
a flow map is more correctly a directional vector offset map. But really, for something like this that is overkill, unless you need to change your maelstrom direction internally often Now for this.. I'm actually sitting in bed with a netbook so forgive the lack of UDK examples.. but i can tell you the nodes you need.… -
Re: UE4 Normal blending
Thanks guys! mAlkAv!An, totally agree that the "add" method is not right, pretty much the reason I started doing the comparisons is because I saw people (some at work even) just adding two normal texture samples together. I'll make it clearer that I'm calling this wrong in the write-up. I am curios about methods in which… -
Re: The Polycount UT3 Pack Thread
Hmmm not quite sure if the following truly belongs to PnP but I thought I'd share the results of my reference hunting. materials in Roboblitz UEd3, fast and easy Hourence material tutorial ini tweaks - useful for screenshots UDN UT3 mods page - incl. folders and naming conventions UDN ActorX for 3DSMax UT3 character models… -
Re: Need Help! Substance Painter to Redshift for Maya workflow
Please, please consider using paragraphs. And what is the BlackLeather_f0 map? I don't see that in your SP texture sets. I've been demoing redshift the past week, I'm pretty pleased with it, especially the speed. So here's the setup: Roughness, Normal and Height file nodes are set to Raw, the others are sRGB color space.… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
About three years ago, I had to learn Maya after seven years of using Max. It was quite painful because I ran into a lot of Maya's quirks and bugs early on. This isn't to say that Maya has more bugs than Max, it's just that I ran head-on into them due to the nature of my work. After six months or so, I found fixes for the…
