I'll add one thing. Let's say you have a metal material that looks really nice but you want a less shiny version. Assuming you setup your graph right (with add/sub blend modes instead of copy), you can just duplicate that graph, adjust the roughness/base-color sliders in about 1-2 min, and have that new material you were…
Added a vertically tiling trim normal onto the pillars, its just a 45 degree bevel but it makes them look a lot nicer from a distance as it smooths the edge plus anti aliasing at a distance. May be a bit too extreme and I think this pillar would probably have a narrow rounded corner but good results so far, Also created 2…

I got tired of constantly moving objects to 0 0 0 to export for UDK and remembering to do a few other things like triangulate the model and rename the material, so I wrote this maxscript. With one button "FBXport" does: * Records the objects current position. * Moves it to 0 0 0. * Triangulates the model by adding a turn…
A quick secondary question I'm a bit confused on how I would go about combining several grey scale texture maps into one output > image. In unreal you could expose the RGBA channels in a node, plug in a selection of different masks and then spit those out into spec/roughness/AO for example Below I've selected the output…
I don't see any obvious mistakes in your material so I am suggesting you remove all other control nodes. And create just the base node like in my old thread. That way you have a lot less variable and can tune each node one parameter at a time to figure out what might be wrong. EDIT: a few things I would try after creating…
Hi all! I just started using Substance Designer and Painter, and I recently began playing with smart masks and generators. I'm trying to texture an asset in Designer, and I've run into an issue... The edges don't apply correctly to the edges of my model. Any ideas why? Everywhere there is a UV seam there is an issue. I…
I know theres a lot of correct maya rigging workflows. Please let me know what you think of this rigging workflow for a biped? Is it completely wrong ? How would you change it ? Tell me your preferred workflow. A character should exist in a scene inventory as a single group node containing EVERYTHING related to that…
I played with ChatGPT during last weekend. Wondering if it would be able to find a few solutions for me in Blenders geometry nodes. And amazing part it does very precise answers of what and how I should do things. It took me pretty a while to figure out that what it offers is not working at all . But it does look very…
So in NDO when I convert a selection to a normal, the layer editing window doesn't appear to let me change size, depth etc. I'm having a similar problem in DDO as well where after I've created a project, the window doesn't appear that has the albedo, gloss tabs etc.
