Well, for character animation usually you don't have the same kind of strict limits as you have for environment art, so it's a different issue in many ways. For environments, usually you have to pay close attention to reusing assets and materials/textures as much as possible, so you don't blow the memory budget or kill…
All nodes have Tiling Mode set to "H and V Tiling" So essentially, we have 4 tiles exported from world machine, and I'm trying to make AO's and Normals based on the exported height maps. But we get these black seams inbetween each height map. The height maps themselves do not tile, but they certainly don't have these giant…

(okay that one is easy) Dorsal humps can also happen…

But it is a perfect learning tool also, it provides you and easy way to generate HLSL code for which you thought of the logic before…

I'm writing a code to make the CGToolkit's art of rigging arm in MEL. It was going just fine. I got my IK/FK switch set up, had the elbows constrained, and the wrist working quite easily. Then I moved on to the right arm, and here's what I got: ($armSideLong = "right" and $armSide = "r_") The right arm is broken at the…
For the UV, at least on UE4, there's a solution (I can't check if it works, because I don't have UE4) https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?1861-Tutorial-How-to-proper-export-a-FBX-scene-from-Cinema-4D-to-U4-with-2-UV-channels I don't like the UV tools too, but I'd like to see if with this:…
Very easy with Arnold just use an aiUtility node with these settings... shade mode = flat color mode = normal You can also set up an AOV to render it out at the same time as the beauty pass etc. google will explain the technical bits
