Re: Handling Chamfers in the UV's
Like said, it depends, especially for the chamfers. Do you need cuts for normal maps because of hard edges? What's more visible? How much distortion and size scale changes are you willing to deal with? Personally, I'd probably do something like this: "a" can be straightened out without any distortion, the inner and outer… -
Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
Hi @ScottHoneycutt You probably don't want a Quadro, they're built more for precision critical tasks & most of the cost is a support premium. If you want raw performance the GeForce cards are good enough. If you can, try get an RTX 3000 series card somehow (preferably 3060 or better), but there's a few caveats, see below:… -
Magpul PMAG30 Gen M3 Magazine
Hey everyone, I want to introduce you to my new artwork, Magpul PMAG30 Gen M3 Magazine. During the work, I practiced improving both the overall appearance of the textures and the individual emphasis on the Opacity Map. The project is available in two versions: without ammunition and with cartridges.… -
Cal.357 Tactical Magnum
I finished this Cal.357 Tactical Magnum recently The model has around 9.5k polys. For the render I used a 4k texture and in Marmoset Viewer you see the model with a 2k texture. You can watch it in Marmoset Viewer on my Artstation page: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NLKb5 Based on a concept from Kris Thaler:… -
Re: [Finished] Saxon
Thanks everyone! :smile: This was achieved using lots of alpha cards scattered over the mesh. You could also use groom to achieve the same (and probably better) effect I used a generic skin texture and scaled it down vertically so it gave the impression of cracked and bent leather. I used it in conjunction with morph… -
Stylized / Hand-Painted 3D Character Artist – Mobile Games (5+ years)
Hi everyone 👋 My name is Artem, I’m a 3D Character Artist with 5+ years of experience in mobile game development. My main focus is stylized, hand-painted characters – that’s the work I enjoy the most and where I feel strongest. I care a lot about readable silhouettes, clean shapes, appealing colors, and personality in… -
Can someone tell me how I can setup a direct x 11 shader over an object that was imported in as an f
Can someone tell me how I can setup a direct x 11 shader inside Maya over an object that was imported in as an fbx file with a texture map, disp. map, and normal map along with it from zbrush, so that the color of the texture map on the mesh is provided the effect of the shader with the maps it came along with or can be… -
Re: Overlapping UVs poll
Yes, when it's necessary. Like Crack said, giving unique space to every UV shell can waste a lot of pixels, cause you to use big textures to get a decent texel density and all of that unique detail might not be required. If you give everything it's own unique space and are dogmatic about texel density you're going to have… -
Re: Rework of old project - XJR9 Jaguar
If the project is finished it will be portfolio worthy for sure, it's a cool car! As it is now, it's really hard to tell because you're missing a lot of parts. Chassis are not there, the entire rear with the engine is missing, it's basically just outer panels for now. You don't need to build full internals for cars but… -
Re: using decal and custom vertex normal for vehicles?
@BI0H0G - Here are some pros/cons: + The smooth edged geo and modeled details allows you to not bake from a full highpoly, so you won't have a pixelated normalmap on a large scale asset (such as your vehicle, which would require huge normalmap if it would be baked). Also it saves time because of the no highpoly. + The…
