Re: Composite Material 3dmax
you dont want a composite material. you want a composite map put the composite map in the diffuse slot of a standard material Click on the left hand swatch of layer 1 and add your diffuse map. create a new layer and set it to multiply Add the lightmap to the left hand slot. setting its channel to 2 Set the RGB level of the… -
Re: Has anybody ever accomplished a GI-type render like this in 3ds Max?
What version of Max are you using? What renderers do you have access to? Is your scene in real-world scale? From my memory of using MR years back it has a decent AO output. Yes, a diffuse pass is just a 100% diffuse shader. Multiplying the AO in post as a layer will give you more control. With Vray dirt map you can nest… -
Re: Maya how do you Create this shader, help plz
Did you play around with the settings? As Vailias said, a simple shader and a few changes in the setting here and there should get it done. Did you play around with the glossiness? Do you have Spec maps? What is your Diffuse like? Do you have Raytracer enabled? Did you try out the Mental Ray shaders which come prepacked… -
Re: Need help texturing weathered car paint
Thanks for the input, i did add noise but it was via photoshop /Add Noise, i will try and add some more noise, and variations in diffuse. It is my considered opinion that whatever it is it should be some subtle change, like you suggested, to give it more metallic look, since i ( think :) ) I've added most of the big… -
Re: Paradox Interactive Art Dump
Hey man. Hearts of Iron 3 uses Diffuse Maps and Specular Maps, no normal maps (this will change however in HoI4! : D). We kinda "fake" a normal map effect by using Photoshop layer effects and bevels/shadows in the diffuse, and then punching up the contrast on the different specualr areas in the spec. Sometimes you almost… -
Re: Where is the specular texture slot in Unity?
in all versions of Unity, spec is the alpha channel in any diffuse texture, slap it in there (via photoshop or whatever) then choose "diffuse specular" basic shader and hey presto! (they don't really explain this anywhere, I understand your pain) If you want to combine with Transparency, theres a shader that will take pure… -
Re: FistOfVegetables' lowpoly WIP thread
While I'm at it I might as well post what else I did today. This is for the other project I am working on, which unfortunately doesn't have a name and will refer to as 'Dual Environment' project. I made some high poly bricks in Max and Zbrush, and arranged them in a tileable pattern and baked a normal and AO into a plane… -
Re: Modular workflow question.
That makes sense. Would you mind telling me how would you approach doing that? When I started working on that I haven't really considered normal map issues that are potentially can arise, instead I was mainly focused on diffuse which can be painted in fairly easy onto both models and make them look great. Which now makes… -
Re: Victor-Ryan Character Model - WIP
as rick said, the legs should be a bit less detailed. I like to use 5 or 7, to have that definition without more detail. the edgeflow however is pretty nice, doesnt look detailed anough to be 5.5k to me. again 2 diffuse and 1 of specular and normal seems kind of wierd, unless half of the model gets a normal map and spec… -
Re: exploding meshes again - max to zbrush
Actually I did create a diffuse texture for this section in a single map at 1024 http://boards.polycount.net/showpost.php?p=830374&postcount=30 but wasn't happy with the results. Wanted more detail and more diversity showing through, I was planning on mixing the normal maps created from the diffuse and one from zbrush then…
