Re: Texel Density (multiple texture sets)
A texel is a pixel in 3d-space. So the only thing relevant is the size of the pixel in uv-space of the model and the size of the model in 3d-space. The amount of textures is irrelevant as long as you don't want to calculate something else. When this is clear and you can calculate it by hand you can use a calculator to save… -
Re: Is there anybody out there?
Such tiny model previews! The meat monster image isn't even 200x250 pixels! You're adhering to a 768 pixel width for the main column, which is rather outdated. And of those 768 you spend about 256 (a third!) on whitespace! Exclamation! You seriously need to make your images larger. Even in the 2D/sketch area, moar… -
Re: Problems when baking normal map in substance painter
Hi, The jagged edges is pixelation due to the baker trying to define a circle with less pixels than would be desired. The options are - - Check in the Painter bake settings it's baking at the right size. Just because the file is 2048 doesn't mean it's baking this there's a separate drop down box. - Increase the UV space… -
Re: Mossy Forest - Art Test
I somehow agree that something should be done with the moss, but let that be an issue if he finishes in time. I myself dont like the idea of using opacity on a layered material because that kills your performance especially if you have a whole forest covered in it. If i understand the procedure correctly, the renderer has… -
Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
That is awesome advice Perna. I try to always think of model size compared to the player, and the amount of pixels that are going to picked up by the normal map. If you are modeling a cylinder with hole punched through it that is the size of the player then yea make a nice round cylinder. But if these holes in the object… -
Re: Game Environment Help
The size of the texture is in relation of how you consistently you distribute the pixel density of your scene, meaning, your wall and your piano must have the same amount pixels when you view them in your engine. In terms of map size, it is ussualy best work double the size of the original target map size on the engine. It… -
Re: Retro Arcade
blankslatejoe: The sound is not emulated due to the time constraints of our development combined with the huge optimisation that comes with not emulating the sound. The emulator handles all the processing internally and allows output of raw pixel data, we then simply map and update a texture with those new pixel values and… -
Re: 2x1024 or 1 x 2048 ??
I'm not sure that's true. One material with 2 textures is 1 draw call. Two materials with 1 texture each is 2 draw calls. And in forward rendering, that's also an extra draw call per material per per-pixel light (so for 2 per-pixel lights, we're now at 2 draw calls and 4 draw calls, respectively). And, depending on the… -
Re: Targas with alpha 1 bit, is there a way?
Really? Most engines I've seen, you have to tell it to use the alpha channel as a 1-bit alpha, unless the stuff you've used does it automatically (ie. always assume alpha-channel in a diffuse texture is to be used as alphatest) which makes some sense, but it's not really the engine working out that it's a 1-bit alpha based… -
Re: Jagged Normal maps - video card issue?
Agreed with the tiling comments. Either that, or think about how thin you make your detail on the highpoly. If you're going to model intricate details, you need to realise that none of it can be smaller than one pixel, and even if it's going to be two pixels big, that's going to be a tight fit, and you'd be better off…
