Resolved my MRQ issues, had a sublevel with some alternate lighting experiments that was being set to visible when starting the render :neutral: working on grading now, mucking around with some frames maybe. Also did a small experiment, just attaching a media capture to a rect light. Works surprisingly well, so that might…
I was referring to the shading going to black/dark quite abruptly in some places, so it almost looks like a black outline rather than a surface relief. Might be something funky going on with the parallax as well, because the grey texture is not a height map, at least as far as I can tell. Did you use some kind of converter…
I'm still far from getting the brick look I desire. I've been playing around with the height map because I couldn't figure out why it looks so flat in Unreal but not in Substance Designer. If I want to incorporate a specular, what value should I set for bricks? Additionally, I would be grateful for any tips on how to…
I'm sorry I missed this discussion when it was started a decade ago, and I'm sorry that the links above are broken, but I'll add my comments now for the record. I published a paper about pie menus in the proceedings of 1988 ACM SIGCHI conference called “An Empirical Comparison of Pie vs. Linear Menus”, in which we measured…
@baraa_odeh - I couldn't resist making a little paintover. The big takeaway is that you can add color balance by using sunlight as your warm contrast and your shadows being the cool counter balance. The original lighting was very flat. Now just add a little explorer with a torch in the cave and you are good. Good luck!
I consider the high poly stage to be 99% complete, I am leaving that 1% open for any potential feedback and suggestions before I move to the retopology : ) EDIT: Forgot to mention that the hair will be hair cards, so the 3D hair right now is just a blockout/base for when I start placing the cards
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…
Hi everyone! I have been looking to do some skybox art myself and I have some questions about the workflow, specifically about how it is all set up in 3d. Say, I would like to do a skydome with some layered clouds. I prepare my cloud alphas in Photoshop, then strap them onto mesh cards in my 3d package and arrange into…
Hey everyone, I’ve been trying every possible way to create high-quality grass (clumps, density per m², etc.) that is optimized and functional in Unreal Engine 5 with a 4070 Super. I’ve looked at some presets (like those from Quixel Bridge), and noticed that a single clump of grass can go up to 6000 tris — but with Nanite…
