Is it possible to increase tesselation on Landscape?
I initially made my landscape this size: 127 x 127 overall size (vertices) 63 quads per section 4 sections per component 63 x 63 component size (quads) 4 (2x2 components) total components which is pretty much one of the smallest sizes cuz I thought my environment wouldn't need to be too big. But now I'd definitely like to… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Tutorials for Quixel Suite
Great, that's good news. Currently I just redid the ID map and re-imported it into Quixel which did solve it. I'll look forward to 1.7 getting finalized so I can try it out. Had some issues with custom painted masks getting overridden when re-importing maps but not sure what really causes it, haven't had the time to check… -
Re: Maya: Vertex Normal precision errors when smoothing mesh causing normal map artifacts
I get what your saying that in 8bit color representation there is no true 90°, and 90° is directly in between the distinct 8 bit values thus even the smallest deviation would have the value round down. Pardon my ignorance, wouldn't it be the other way around ie: signed is -127 to 127 (255 values) versus unsigned 0 to 255… -
Re: Need advice buying a camera
The minolta 50mm 1.7 is the first lens you should buy, you can pick up a used copy for $75-100 on ebay. This lens is sharp from about F2-5.6 or so whereas teh kit zoom is sharp from about F5.6-F8 or so, which in use means you can use the 50mm in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Its so cheap that it just makes a lot… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
It would help if you posted images of the problem in that case. The dithering improvement makes sense, when you make the normals completely flat, you're essentially matching the normals of the highpoly as closely as possible, this means the base normal map can be a flat neutral 127/127/255. Bit-depth issues are most… -

Re: Intel plans to make your motherboard and CPU a into single part.
Ok for the extremely small % of users out there who actually do upgrade cpus, here is some raw math for you. I currently have a 775 Q6600 quad core intel cpu. If I want to upgrade that to something significantly faster that means I have to buy a Q9650. Cheapest price on that new is $275 on eBay. This gives me 147% of the… -
Re: US Soldier [WIP]
Update. Guns for character. So, i made textures for additional guns. I didn't spend much time and attention for details, because these guns will be hide inside the holster. For Beretta i chose 92FS modification with silver cover. This is the nice chance to practice with metal/gloss workflow. Beretta 92FS: MP5k: Also i… -

Re: Quixel SUITE | Status & Stability Patch Download
Hey again, I was using 1.7 but kept getting crashes with DDO when I have UE4 selected, a window would come up saying something about resolution but I couldn't get it to go away. I updated to 1.8 hoping it'd solve the issue but now I can't even open DDO, I check task manager and it says thinking but nothing happens. I've…
