Re: [UE4] Tibetan monastery interior
Thanks guys. I have decided to get the material definitions down first I spent about half the day trying to get the scene to match the ref before I realised the artist had painted it with a 2 point perspective system, and even though the vanishing points lined up, it looked out of scale from different angles. These were… -
Re: Headus UVLayout - worth buying?
hmm very unique and standalone features imo. - relax multiple selected objects as 1 task (get some coffee meanwhile while it does all the iterations) - ability to setup relaxing rules such as align marked edges to closest grid, straighten marked edges, pin straighten stuff and lots of other unique rule sets that get… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge August 2016 (43)
Hi Everybody! kadeschui Thank you very much for taking over! eXecutex thank you very much for handling the last Challenges! Unfortunatly I am still a Greenhorn in all things 3D, so I am afraid that I am not realy able to give any useful suggestions, but I will try to give some feedback ;D.

Advice on cleaning up a very messy model. Imported from Archicad.
What is the best way to get a model from Archicad (.pln) to UE4? I have found exporting as an .fbx and then importing to Maya allows me to retain the materials from Archicad. However the big problem that I have is the state of the mesh. The topology is so messy that it is unusable as it is. There is geometry stacked on top… -
Re: All textures export at 4k?
yes that. Working at double resolution allows you to add more detail and the downsampling will smooth out rough edges - it's particularly beneficial in painter/designer where resolution can affect the behaviour of certain nodes. Generally I find downsampling at export from Painter is 'good enough' and that going to… -
Re: Darker blacks using PBR Metal/Rough?
So to stay physically accurate in Substance painter when using charted values, what is the best practice? Should we stick with 0-255 RGB values and set the color picker to sRGB? Related to this, any Blender experts care to chime in? The color node in Blender only accepts values from 0-1, and I'm never sure how to convert… -
Re: UV issue with no reason in sight.
Triangulating the original mesh won't fix this one - it's got problems before you get to that stage. The Boolean operations have resulted in a complex non-convex ngon which is a complete bastard to triangulate algorithmically - the modelling app has taken a best guess at what to do with it but in cases like this you'll… -
Re: 3ds max move gizmo question
I agree its can be hard to work with and would be easier if it was oriented to screen space however it represents a coordinate system. That system has a + and - side to it. When you're looking at it from the negative side, you're looking at the back of the coordinate system. It would be like modeling on the bottom of the… -
Re: tessellation, displacement maps.
awesome thread. if there was any advantage to useing vertex colors over textures then offline renderers and film studios would have adopted those techniques. textures give you consistent surface coverage independent of topology and there are well defined sampling and filtering algorithms, storage size is constant… -
Re: Indie RPG with ground breaking engine and physics
It's nothing to do with that. With the right APIs, it almost makes no difference which language you use as long as it's not something like BASIC. (which isn't a bad language, it's just not suited to large projects) Even if UnrealScript were "99% JavaScript" (it's not, it's about 60% Java, 10% C#, 30% Visual Basic - look at…
