Re: Procedural Improvement - A Substance Designer Journey
@Khael no I haven't. Not exactly sure which one you mean. The Flood Fill to Random Color? Right now I'm using a Gradient map to get a base. The darker bricks are added on top using a grayscale mask I generated from my tile sampler. @Ashervisalis true those bricks are rather flat, also on the image and other references I… -
Re: PETROL/BLOOD - InflatableFriend
Good point R0gue, the addition of the lance was a last minute decision and he would definitely be facing the wrong way for squid-jet based speed you'd want for jousting! The whole 'Which way round' thing has been a question mark since the start. The way I figure it is that in the hypothetical game normal movement would be… -
Re: To do the dDo or not do the dDo?
Tools are tools, dDo is a great way to speed up the process of texture creation, but you need to realize its simply a tool to help you do your work, not a "make art" button. If you just load up dDo, load some presets and call it a day, no that's not really going to fly in a production environment(aside from very… -
Re: Building Sourge Engine Displacements in 3ds Max
Thanks for the input Mark. I'd like to get the viewport texturing out of the way first... then work on ways enhancing the sculpting tools. I tried a Composite Material but wasn't able to get it to display in realtime with the Vertex Color as a mask. If you find a method, please do share. Over on Interlopers, it was… -
Re: RTS buildings and units
The wear is so huge on that that it is messing up the scale - that looks like a foot tall accent light, and not like a building. where are the windows/doors? Adding things like that will add a strong sense of scale. Remove the big chips (seriously, those chips would be man-sized). Figure out where you'd want to put team… -
Re: How to change all resource links to a new folder quickly in SD?
Aliases make just different sort of troubles IMO. I have a few masks rendered from cryptomate AOV and save them in a folder "renderoutput" which is aliased in SD . Then I do a new version and have to keep previous render . I do a new "renderoutput2" folder and re-aliase SD to this new folder. But since aliases in SD are… -
Re: Zbrush > Maya. Polygon artifacts showing when soften edges
I mean, there's nothing wrong with it; Decimation master is doing what you asked it to do :) Sure, its a messy result, but the tool isn't called 'make low-poly mesh I can bake to'. As gnoop says, its super easy to clean this up. You can use masks when using decimation master, but in this case that's a more involved process… -
Re: Custom .38 Special Revolver
I'm back, several months later. Sorry about that. @a3D You may be right. I've struggled with glossiness/roughness a bit. For me perceived smoothness can change depending on the environment, so it can be tough to get it right. @Doxturtle Well, to get to the final handle texture, I had done some pre-planning. I used a… -
Re: UDK - Material - Rotate the Pan
Got you, that makes alot of sense. Thanks Vailias much appreciated, however, about the masking, the reason I'm masking my single parameters, it because they do not work for some reason if the node is not a specific function. An example of what I mean is the TexCoords works fine with the Append in place and are much faster… -
Re: n88tr's basic textured things
Hey n88tr, mistakes are progress because you'll learn what not to do lol. For doing foliage that is one way you can do it. To make the material have transparency you'll need an alpha mask or an opacity mask it depends on what the shaders in the game engine support. In the engines i've used you can have a alpha mask in the…
