can someone show me an example of what you guys are talking about here? I think it's what I'm thinking but I could be wrong. For example I used to work at a studio where the unwrap for clothes on a character were all straight at the edges, yet they're clothes and I was like I can see the benefit of having straight edged UV…
Maybe I shoud be more precise: I know how the Viewport works. Not all of it, but the most important things: How to switch views between grids for example, how to split panes, to put objects, enter subobject level and reference geometry via Null(s?). Now when it comes to creating something I'm lost. For example using the…
well vidotto :) its a matter of the topic of this contest. some months ago for example we had such awesome topics like "least items on that slot (no weapons..)" and it gave rly good submissions on a nice quality lvl for different heroes and slots. and for example if the next months topic would be picked like (just as…
Hello everybody! In my years of game development I got really tired of saving tga files from your PSD file. I have checked the internet several times for a program that can split my PSD file into tga files, but all I could find were slow scripts or not easy to use. So I figured it would be time to write one myself. The…
Hey guys, hopefully some of the more tech artist minded people here can help out with this one. I'm trying to make a procedural fence I can use for one of my projects. I made an example video and sudo blue prints of how I'd imagine this would work, but I'm having trouble figuring exact which nodes I'd use, and how to setup…
Thanks very much for your responses people, I am marking this thread as closed as I have found enough people to work with. --- Note: I originally made this post on Reddit, and am cross-posting this here as I haven't yet found what I need. I'm working on a 2d infinite scroller mobile game and I'm looking for someone…
Each update I waste some time to see if Substance Sampler AI does anything useful finally and always just shrug and go away. Image to material usually does something just marginally better than old crazy bump . Ads halos around height details and looks same awful at sharp light angles. Surprisingly it sometimes works…
I'm trying to learn some hard edge sub-d high poly modeling (mechanical objects). And I was wondering if there are any good tutorials for cleaning up meshes. I hope the following isn't too noobish. I want to cut a hole in my mesh (just making it a square for example ease). But I don't know how to keep the form without…
Say I have already calculated the TD of my uv shell, ie. I know its exact size and I know where I should be placing it, are there any tricks on how to position it precisely where I want it? For example, can I pick the top-left vertex as origin, and tell Blender to move the shell to a position where this origin will be 16px…
@Sidney Eliot Generally speaking, these shadow issues are fundamental to all renderers, not specific to Toolbag. There are some tricks that can be done in raster rendering engines to soften shadow faceting somewhat, but as you note in the last part of your post it's a problem there too. The software can only render shadows…
