you can actually have the same layering functionality as photoshop in max for your shader using the composite map, and alot quicker. 1. assign the base normal to layer 1 in the composite map 2. create a new layer and assign your map you want to overlay on the base map to layer 2 in the composite map 3. switch the blending…
Hi! By now you probably put your plan into action. When you're generally happy with the shading achieved by the modifier, you could apply it as a starting point. Personally, I define sharp edges while checking the mesh shading, placing UV seams at the same time (unwrapping in Blender). I had another look at the model, so…
Thanks guys for the replies! I'll work on the tower later today. The reason it is appearing like this atm is that the tower isn't unwrapped yet and so, doesn't even have a texture map. Sander, that link is awesome. I started working on the contrast this morning. It's not even close to be done yet, but just adding some…
:) Good call Eric. I was trying to find an "all ps" way of doing it. Also I think some games still wind up using a cubemap for a skybox, or at least for reflections. Especially if they're not in the photo-real PBR Category of art direction, so its still important to be able to make a decent cube map. ANyhow, I got some…
The hero drone's main part is the core which contains most of the electronics and the batteries. By itself it's not capable of moving so it needs to be attached to one of the modular engines. Currently only aerial modules are implemented but later I want to make some ground units as well. This is the drone with the…
Well, in presenting your work for others to see, I was under the impression that it was customary to show others (especially potential employers) how you made/managed your textures. These are not examples of my current work, as I have learned more about texture creation and UV space management. However, these are some of…
Hey Everyone! I am happy to announce my blended material shader for Marmoset Toolbag 3 has been released! You can find the link to the shaders on Gumroad here. The downloadable zip contains shader extensions allowing for 3 layer material blending on your existing Toolbag 3 shaders. Inside you will find two PBR shaders one…
The idea is having an option to make a layer repeat over the edges of the document, so when you paint / draw something over the edge on that layer, it would appear on the other side too. You could also move layers over the edge and they'd duplicate over the other side for when you copy parts of an images about. Heres a…
I meant basically that you can build hires hills/mountains/ cityscape, scatter gazillion objects and then make an extremely low poly envelope with a few fins here and there plus UDIM unique unwrap to bake your hi res landscape in. Since your landscape is static and not going to move anywhere it even could be world space…
Hey stickadtroja, I like your painting style with this if intensional or not. I'm guessing your going for a cartooned look? Your chars face is looking quite red in places if you where to tone that down a bit maybe. Also and I can't say this enough you need to shade your models. Most people don't do this and it's what…
