Re: NDO2 normal to ao blue or greyscale
I really do not like nDo2's AO conversion from normal map. The only AO I use anymore is baked from xNormal. That said, I LOVE nDo's Cavity, Specular and "Diffuse" conversions from Normal for diffuse map creation.... -
Re: problem with xnormal baking
UV seams? Smoothing groups? Non-normalized UV islands? Also, don't look at your normal map in diffuse since it's useless at helping your debug stuff, stick in your normal and throw in a quick spec + diffuse to see if the lines are really noticeable or not. -
Re: UMP 45
Ok so a quick method for getting a spec map that I picked up was to take the diffuse, desaturate, and play with the levels. I know this can't be correct so any help with that...or any of my texture pages/unwrap will be much appreciated. Diffuse Spec Normals -
Re: New to the Forum and new to the Industry, here's some stuff!
Pump up the contrast and the brightness on the specular. You lose alot of the red in your diffuse couse of the high average brightness in you specular. I really like you diffuse, but i think that the worn bits is too uniform. Make them count instead! -
Re: DesertEagle
Thanks for your input. I toned down the scratches in diffuse a lot then redid the whole specMap. In the spec map I removed all cloudes and used more even gradiants for spec. Render in game engine New spec map new diffuse map -
Re: Trying to learn 'Next Gen' texturing
Looks great! You are also correct about colour speculars needing inverse to create white, to counteract the diffuse colour. This is because the specular is usually added to the diffuse rather than multiplied, overlaid or whatever. Check out this tutorial: http://www.manufato.com/?p=902 -
Re: Lightmass: Transparent Material
Is that what you're looking for, or this? so I guess: Lit materials BLEND_Translucent and BLEND_Additive: Transmission = Lerp(White, Diffuse, Opacity) BLEND_Modulate: Transmission = Diffuse BLEND_Masked Unlit materials BLEND_Translucent and BLEND_Additive: Transmission = Lerp(White, Emissive, Opacity) BLEND_Modulate:… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
Tiny update. Still making progress on the cards, but in the meanwhile that fur breakdown thread got me having silly ideas. Many unknowns, I'll only be sure it works when I get it into an engine, but I'm wondering about what vertex color is normally used for in creatures and clothing, because I got some interesting and easy… -
Re: Maya RGBA SplatMap Hypershade setup and Export?
create 3 file nodes point to your diffuse 1 and 2 and the spalt map create a blend node, hook the outColor of the first diffuse file into the Color1 of the blend, the outColor of file 2 into the Color1 of the blend, than take outColorR of the spalt and hook it up to the Blender of the blend node. -
Re: Zest Recreation
I'd either pull back the metalness on a lot of meshes or really brighten up the diffuse If you're going full metal on a texture try to push the brightness on the diffuse to counter the darkening effect of the metalness (assuming you're using PBR) But yeah, some paint covered metal would be nice
