Re: Using trim sheets with alpha floaters and blending with tiling materials?
I'm just trying to understand your problem so I'm not giving bad advice. You have a regular texture with albedo, normal, roughness, etc. The top is your trim in which you need regular texture settings. The bottom is decals in which you need decal settings. If you change the texture to decal, it works fine but you can't use… -
Setes Exam project
Hi All I've begun working on the last exam for my education, in this exam i'm supposed to make a 3D model of my own choice, what i choose to do with it, is my own choice. So, i'm working from this concept: http://i.imgur.com/3B21fuZ.jpg To make a model that i could theoretically use in a game. I'm not following the concept… -
Blowing off some steam
I love my job, I really like what I do and I couldn't be more happy with the pay, benefits and perks. But like every job there are a few downsides to it. So I'm at work watching my system render out 9720 frames of mini-cinematic animations at 15min a frame. Breaks down to roughly 100 days of nothing but straight rendering.… -
Alex's Texture Scans
I decided to try my hand at capturing textures with a cross polarizing light setup and this was the result of todays test. I generated albedo, normal and specular/roughness maps. The relevant equipment I used is as listed:* Canon 7D * Canon EF 28mm F1.8 USM * B+W Circular Polarizer * Canon 430EX II Flash * Manfrotto… -
Re: [Portfolio] -ST- Environment Artist
looks cool man, it is good to see that u have complete enviros in your portfolio. As to me it is better than just set of individual props. I should say though that two problems that i see are "construction" aspect of your work and sometimes texturing. Basically what I mean is that construction of some things is not correct… -

[Zbrush] How do i sculpt this ?
Hi everyone, I'm currently planning a 3D environment that fuses the dramatic natural setting of Petra (Jordan) with the ornate and rich Levantine architectural style. The vision is to build a narrow canyon path that leads to a large, impressive mosque structure, with a bazaar carved into the sides of the canyon walls along… -
Re: Do you agree or disagree with hot takes from gaming communities?
not really a hot take, but personally I almost always turn off motion blur, depth of field, and sometimes chromatic aberration and film grain depending on the game, and default 90 degree FoV is just too claustrophobic, 103 is just about right. These settings just don't look good to me, and sometimes make me motion sick.… -
Re: 3ds Max - Noise after Rendering
Using Vray you can go the easy way by setting the image sampler to progressive path-tracing, set time to unlimited, and getting out your guitar or making a cup of tea, and simply wait for the noise to clear.......... Or you can learn what's going on 'under the hood' by leaving the image sampler as adaptive and delving into…
