Re: Brendon Dalgado - 3D Modeler
I know you're not looking for criticism on your website but here it goes anyway. I've opened it the first time and it just stood there, completely blank. Any employer would've closed it right there, and I almost did it myself, but I thought I'd refresh the page to see what I was missing and I had to close it after trying… -
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity
Of course dev budgets aren't infinite, but we're talking about Ubisoft here, the same company that will happily waste a shitload of money on multiple needless CGI trailers. The fact is AAA development is insanely bloated and for the sake of the long term health of the industry consumers need to be given a product that… -
Re: XoliulShader 2
Hi Xoluil, I saw someone else had this error but i didn't see if there was a fix or workaround. I was having the following error come up when in click the "Apply preset without light creation" button for the lights in the material presets. I am asked to show max where the .dds file is for the preset i selected and once I… -

Re: Nausicaa Rifle
I'd hate to go back and redo the UVs again, since it took a while to get nice, uniform unfolding, and also means recreating all the maps. Also, this thread speaks to the idea of not going too overboard wiht optimizing your UV space. But I hear where you are coming from. let's say I did revise the UVs: I suppose the… -
Re: Normal map compression and channel packing
I found this while looking for something else, while you might have solved this already I'd like to contribute: If you're channel packing your normal map, make sure that texture is stored as linear and that after sampling and before deriving the Blue channel, bring that from 0 to 1 range to -1 to 1. That means, append… -
Re: Can a one-handed man dream to be a professional 3D artist come true?
not a total solution, but much of my work in Maya is done only with the mouse. It's nothing fancy, just a logitech mouse with like 4 programmable buttons, but I set them to ctrl, ctrl+shift, space, undo. This gives access to most of your marking menus on just one hand. So much of the work is done with one-handed gestures.… -
Re: In-progress: DDO Stretches my non-square maps
In that kind of situation I usually create a square texture to avoid some troubles in future. In recent project a have rectangular texture 4096x2048. So i just created a 4k texture to work with and just splited it in half to know my work area. When it will be exported in engine I'll just cut it to 4k x 2k with canvas size… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: How to use Quixel with High Poly models?
@PlateCaptain: are you using the same HDRI IBL setup in both programs? If not it will always look different in some way I think. Also did you set the image node of the normal map in blender to noncolor-data? Also that looks like an awefull lot of fireflies. Try clamp direct and clamp indirect at 3.0 (sampling section,… -
Re: [Question] List of Cameras for Photo-sourcing Textures
Ah yeah, the EPM2 has the old gen IBIS, it's not very good/reliable. 1/200 is a solid rule if you don't really trust or know your gear well, or if you don't have IS, but you can certainly go well below that, especially if you're using wider lenses. Your phone probably has something in the range of a 28-35mm equivalent…
