Re: Compare texture blending methods in performance
Okay, so I thought about this some more, and I tested the concept of isolation specific portions of the 0-1 scale of a given vertex color and using it to mask textures. So instead of using just 0 and 1 to decide between Texture 1 and Texture 2, you can 0.1 for Texture 1, 0.2 for Texture 2, etc. Actually, it'd be more like… -

Re: How often are 4096 textures used in next-gen gaming.
Certainly, textures size should be set on a per case basis, and factors like the size, complexity, importance of item and viewing distance need to be taken into consideration. The previous example of a character's face that will be seen up close in a cinematic is a good example (as long as the texture density isn't… -

Re: Mysterious Lighting Seams in UDK
Mark, I'm not sure baked lighting specularity is attached to the normal map uv's, I think it might just be attached to uv set 0, no matter what you do. To test, I changed the material and gave it a neutral (127,127,255) normal map, assigned to the lightmap uvs. If baked lighting specularity uses the normal map uv's then… -
Re: Z-brush: UV maps and Texturing/Normals
1) First things first is to polypaint your model. There are some tutorials out there on that process, but the only thing you need to know for sure is that your model has to be subdivided relatively high. Try painting on a low poly of your model and you'll see what I mean. 2) Then you need to import the unwrap of the low… -
Re: [Mudbox] Texturing lowpoly from Max in Mudbox glitches
1. Move the mirrored shells +1 out of 0-1 space. Mudbox hates direct overlaps. 2. Not sure, but try subdividing it without smoothing and see if it helps. -
