Re: Help - Another lightmap UV bleed thread
I don't know UDK, but from what i see, your lightmap is tiling. You probably have an option to clamp it in UDK, or you should move your shells away from the borders by a few pixels. Splitting the hard edges will give you better results, especially at a far distance, where the lightmap will start to mip. At some distance,… -
Re: Choosing a camera for texture hunting
Yeah like I said, if you're not looking for max sharpness, or high resolution, for like 1x1k textures pretty much any camera will do, 2x2k and you will want atleast a high end compact(Canon S95, G11, etc) and higher than that probably a DSLR. 3-4K and you need a DSLR, while you can get a 14-16mp compact camera, you're not… -
Re: Errybody loves handpainted stuff
the newer versions of your textures upped the value contrasts in the images, but didn't define your shapes more clearly. You're having a serious problem with edge and form definition, and it's caused largely by your purposeful avoidance of hard, single-pixel edges. You're painting most everything with a somewhat soft brush… -
Re: (Solved) [PBR] Should opacity affect emission?
ok - I get what you mean. you're right too but I think you're missing something about how different bits of the rendering pipeline talk to each other (or dont) what i was failing to say was this.. As you say, emission is usually simply added to the colour of a given pixel. It's not dealt with in a special buffer or… -
Re: Wasteland Roaming Vehicle
Thank you @theblueturtle_ For this project I was instructed to use multiple sets of texture sheets in order to increase the amount of pixel density we could achieve using 2048 sheets. In his example he was using 3 sets of 2048s but I ended up using 4 sets so in the end I could actually use a single set of 4096 pages. I… -
Re: Parallax Occlusion Mapping
Remember that we are talking about shaders, here. It is impossible to say what shaders an engine has, or doesn't have, since the entire idea of shaders is expandability and modularity. Did you know OGRE has relief mapping? It does if anyone wants to port fabio's fx file to it (not difficult, actually). If the engine is so… -
Re: Warrior dude's head
Over all it looks great. I doubt you could help the blurriness that much given the texture is only 128x128. Since it is so small the hair does pixelate pretty bad you might want to rearange some of the unwrapped space so you can maxumize the hair texture space and maybe get rid of the pixelation a bit? Since you have the… -
Re: Maya CgFx Shader Offering
Thanks. and no I don't have access to 3ds max, or this wouldn't have been an issue. There are a few matrix calculations, only 3 of them though, and one is a leftover duplicate, the rest are normal vector operations, but its the only way I could figure out to get the light and pixel coordinates into world space for the… -
Re: Creating Scratch Textures ("From Scratch")
3 words important in UV mapping: Uniform Pixel Density The various areas of your texture sheet should not be disproportionatly large or small. You want to spread the pixels (previewed by your checker map) across the model as evenly as you can manage. This will make your textures appear crisper and more realistic. However,… -
Zbrush Polypaint UV border issue
Hi folks I been trying my hand at polypainting in Zbrush. I love it, however... when I export the texture, I am finding that the black areas (the empty, non- uv areas) are very close to the UV painted parts (2-3 pixel distance). As a result, when I use the texture in UDK and other programs, it creates a black seam on the…
