Re: Maya and UE4 reflective maps
mistergood100, as mentioned above UE4 does not correspond to Maya in any way. Any material work you do for a Maya or Maya Mental Ray render will not carry over into unreal 4. If you want to get it working in Maya first you need to tell us what material system you are using and what render engine you are using in Maya. For… -
Re: Normal mapping polycounts and texture res
[ QUOTE ] For example, could I make a bunch of big square template shapes in high res, like a brick wall or gravel, then render then onto a long thin low poly object?

A long time ago I thought Substance Painter was just bad at baking high/low normals and would manually… -

Lincoln soon issued a declaration… -
Re: Animation - Camera path indoor to outdoor Lighting with Arnold in 3DS Max - Physical Sky Environment
Animate the camera exposure as the camera leaves the cabin. Low light usually takes a lot longer to render, since there ends up being a lot of bounces needed with fewer rays, and thus a lot of noise. So you may also need to animate the lighting amounts, to boost them really strong while inside, then animate them down to… -
Re: Some Normal Map Baking issues
Yeah my first guess would have been mental ray. Why is your preview a yellowish color? That leads me to believe that you have a strange material on one of the pieces you are baking. Should be a standard gray material with nothing in it to make sure you are getting a clean cast. I have seen instances where a material can… -
