Struggling with unwrapping techniques, could really do with some pointers
Workflow 3DS MAX> Substance painter>UE4 Hi I'm struggling with the unwrapping of this asset and others with chamfers and small fiddly bits. I struggled mostly with the rims around the bottom and chamfered areas. I can do it, but it sometimes takes me hours upon hours, for example this asset has taken me up to 4 hours and… -

Issues with assigning materials
I have been following this tutorial from the Quixel wiki on Workflow Primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyJJAp17K-Y And around 2 mins in I start having issues. When creating smart materials, they do not adhere to the selection processes for masking. For example, when I first added the Dirt Teal Metal it added it with… -
Using AI to create hand-painted textures.
Texture projection method The main method of creating texture using AI is to project the generated image onto the model from several angles. Important This technique does not exclude a person from working on textures. AI is a tool that speeds up the process, not completely automated. Also, when working on textures, work in… -
BRAWL 2 [Environment] The Jungle, sketchem
Do you remember how some big action movies from the 90s had those neat miniature & matte painting cities that were heavily exaggerated? I would like to make something like that for 1990s Los Angeles. My pitch is an open-world, third person, action game / simulation set in megacity LA. There are many great films set in LA… -
Re: What is the potential of Python in Archviz - Looking for Ideas and Insights
I needed a script other day that would calculate normal maps intensity parameter from a target normal map example and match all the project normal maps to same intensity for more unified look . I asked Chat to hipass normal maps, extract high frequency details and measure each pixel normal deviation from vertical, find a… -
Re: First post: I've completed these creature busts, I would like to hear your feedback on it
At first, it seems like it'd be best to do some clay bakes rather than final renders but from first glance it seems like they're good concepts but need some work before you go in detailing the busts. The textures seem to be placed as an afterthought - for example the little bit of damage/wear on the chest of the red bust… -
Re: why are there holes in my mesh in unreal, when i cant see anything wrong with the geometry or uvs?
thank you i cleaned it up and found when i delte some of the edges which were close together it solved the problem, cause there as no tris in the mesh. If you are using low poly does it not like edges too close together on meshes, like for example when you got two edges close together to tighten a hard edge? -
Re: Speeding up highpoly hard surface workflow
I imagine modo with rounded edge shader is far more useful but for now I'm making due with quad chamfer and it helps speed things up massively. There's a lot of different ways you can use the quad chamfer modifier. You can for example block out your shapes with it set to quad chamfer by smoothing group with a hardness of… -
Re: Please give me some critique on my Portfolio
Real talk time! 1. Widowmaker is decent enough but aren't a lot of interesting or impressive shapes on it so it doesn't leave too much of an impression. You've added some personalization to it, but the texturing still looks a bit boring. Try to add some more wear and grunge to it. Here's an example of a more interesting…
