Created a base by loading an OBJ, matID map, normal map and AO and linked some materials. Result: (The color coded materials are the ones specified by me in the MatID map) A former colleague suggested it might be due to the file format and extra channels (alpha), saying I should go with PNGs instead. And so I did, but I…
you can try learning by rough and smooth surfaces (glossy). This is base for classify a lot of materials, but of course, there are few exceptions like rubber materials, that can be smoothness but not necessarily have to emit or reflect the light like some glossy materials, cuz rubber materials absorve too much the light.…
Chances are I'm making things hard for myself lol, but thought I'd explain what I'm doing and then see what people say, I had some other threads on the topic and was reading this…
You're welcome. I updated it today with a few new features and tweaks: * Added Open button to open the output directory. * Updated the Channel spinner to get remembered between sessions. * Updated file writing to allow for base names with slashes... the output files will get put into subfolders. So if you have a base name…
So, my polycount fellows, I'm pretty sure that this is a noob question but I still can't figure out and can't find the exact answers so I will just ask here. I'm using unreal in this example but the question applies to any other engine too (well, at least that is what I think lul) So, first question is: If I use one…
I did a 400~ tri prop that had 5 different material definitions with a single mask texture. I assigned red, green, and blue (pure 100% rgb values) to materials in 3ds max, and then assigned them to a multi-sub object material, and I had another material that stood out from the RGB for the 4th option. I then baked the…
Another question regarding this same topic...figure I would reply here rather than start a new thread - Are draw calls based on materials on screen at the same time? So If I have 10 different meshes all using the same wood tiling material, thats still 1 draw call for the material rather than 10 different draw calls? Since…
How to find incompatible map/material in my BIG scene...? I have 3ds max and vray 3.4... i tried to open and render some old scenes created with vray 1.5 Sp3 (or something), but the scene isquite huge and there is some stupid map/material not really compatible with vray and thus really slowing down th rendering of the…
Hello guys, I've downloaded and imported several materials from Bridge to UE4 and depending on the object I apply the material instance it will work or not * static mesh imported from datasmith: no * static mesh actor: yes * brush geometry: no however, when taking the textures by themselves and building the material from…
