hello, I've used material manager from maya, exported as fbx and tried baking the ID map as vertex colors. However the maps turn out to be black no matter what. I've done the same exact procedure with an different object and it worked perfectly fine. Anyone know what's going on?
I'm experiencing an issue where a vertex in my model is spiking out from the mesh. When I turn off the sculpt layers and smooth the vertex on the base mesh it will go away, but when I turn the sculpt layers back on it reappears. If I try and smooth the vertex in a sculpt layer Mudbox crashes. Anyone know a workaround?
Hello all, I see you can blend vertex colour in the new Marmoset Toolbag update but I wanted to ask if you can blend 2 textures together using vertex alpha and where do i put the blend mask and 2nd albedo texture. I have a stone and i want to add a moss texture blended over it in places, like using the paint tool in UE4 (I…
I'm still learning this engine and I've kind of run into a snag with my vertex paint shader. Here's an overview of what I'm going for: I want the Red Vertex Channel to paint in the pipe paint and when I erase, I want it to erase to metal. (my bare metal doesn't look right) I want the Green Vertex Channel to paint in Rust…
Hi guys, I got to the vertex paint stage in my level and I am confused how to go about this issue. I am trying to create fake height difference between my top layer (wallpaper) and bottom layer (plaster). I am still learning unreal so figuring this out seems like black magic. This is what I got so far, (the mask for the…
Hi guys, I am currently trying to get my head around creating custom vertex normals in max 2013. So far I love them but they only seem viable on large flat faces or simple assets because 'out of the box' max makes editing them so fiddly and time consuming they defeat their own purpose. I have read the popular thread…
(This is not a double-post, but a different question.) I am facing a problem which, after transferring normal, I want to edit split vertex normal to fix shading on a particular face, but avoid modifying other normals on the same vertex. To illustrate the issue: step 1: I transferred normal from this cylinder onto an arc of…
I have a static mesh with multiple materials on it that I'm trying to vertex plaint but it seems the paint cursor only displays itself on one of the materials (and one that doesn't need the vertex painting effect, at that). Is this standard procedure? I'd have thought that vertex painting was little more than applying…
Thanks for the reply Ivars, im using maya 8.0, I can transfer the vertex positions but not the vertex normals, have you had this work before? wouldnt the vertex numbers on the sphere kind of have to match the vertex numbers on the tree?
Hello fellow artists! I'm in a dead end and would greatly appreciate if someone can help. I have made a tree, where lower half is sculpted and unique texture is made for in Painter and upper half is not sculpted and would use a tilable texture. I also have 2 tree bark textures I'd like to blend between in UE4. One texture…
