Re: Question about texel resolution/density - small/bigger objects
Alright! So i made what @Eric Chadwick said. The result: For the gun, the case and the table i used a 4k checker; the objects, the box and the small carpet, a 2k one. I think it looks good, consistent and high resolution for screenshots. However, in order to export to Marmoset Viewer i need smaller textures. 2k is… -
Re: 3D Modeling: NEW PC Configuration
Whats your budget? Btw: https://polycount.com/discussion/173350/upgrading-or-building-a-new-pc-this-is-the-thread-for-you#latest I feel like that processor is a little bit weak. Also, I'm not sure if buying a 4k monitor with this config is a great idea. The 2070 isn't that strong, a lot of games and maybe even game engines… -
Re: Photography tutorial for textures?
Well, as I said in my previous post, it really depends on your resolution needs. Again, for 1K textures, a phone is generally going to be fine, while at 2K and 4K a dedicated camera will work better. Enough talk, I did a controlled test so people can decide for themselves what is suitable for their needs. Test cameras:… -
Re: UV mapping and performance
Reducing the file size of a texture is huge. That's less VRAM that has to be loaded on the GPU, and if you're using a streaming engine, that's more room for other textures to stream in at the same time / more quickly. In some cases, having a single 4k texture over (4) 2k textures can actually be worse for streaming since… -
Re: Uchiha Cassandra - Comicon 2015
@Pyr - In my experience we have almost always use a separate texture for hairs. Especially in games where character customization is a thing. If you are making your folio for games... so long as your UV sheets are efficient I suppose 4k is fine. Keep in mind 4k is still a rarity in games these days (to my knowledge) you… -
Re: What are Toolbag's limits?
Well it's official, 4gb GTX970 runs my scene fine, I can even turn on the double rendering resolution (not sure why I would on a 1440p screen). Ye my scene is not very efficient at the moment. In fact it's pretty rediculous for a single character but it's easy to downsize at a later date. I have it planned out like this:… -
Re: Substance Painter - Master Thread
I think I goofed in buying the indie pack. I confused the texture limitation as 4k versus 2k. I could possibly still use it for some assets (though most of mine are 4k), but there is something important I need to know. Is there a way to change the Viewer render type to a more traditional "last gen" setup? The engine I'm… -
Re: 360° Videos in VR, 8k
You should rather post this on the unreal engine forums. But to be honest, lets just face it, people are struggling even to play back 4k stuff properly, sometimes even in videos, so 8k is just ridiculous at this point, in any context. Unrelated example, but windows media player cant even stream videos so you run out of… -
Re: I'm building a PC. Tell me whether it sucks.
That makes no sense at all. Painting @4k resolution. Like, a 4096x4096 texture map. Substance painter stores each layer in the GPUs RAM. Each uncompressed 4k layer takes up quite a bit of video memory. Even if he's using Mari it will still benefit from more video memory. Nothing to do with the size of the monitor. Again,… -
Re: [Finished][UE5] Orbital SpaceTower - Animated
Ok UV-unwrapping took a bit of effort, since i had to go back a few steps and had to redo those pipes (a lesson learnt for future). But really really happy with the UV work I just did. Note: I only tested this scene using uniform 4K texture map, thus UVs are a bit too dense at places. The final maps would be about 5-6 of…
