Re: Expanding DBuffer Decals
So, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that I got selective blending to work with regular decals as well, and the performance impact is pretty minimal. The bad news is that the workflow differs a little from dbuffer decals and both implementations don't have feature parity. The most severe limitation is that… -
3ds Max Arnold maps workflow
I'm really confused with the best workflow for my project. I'm using 3ds Max with Arnold Renderer. The scene has 20 or so objects, all are UV'd, some I need to be multiple materials others only one. If I need an item to be both gold metal, and coloured glass, how do I get an Arnold standard surface to control both parts,… -
substance painter baking logic question
hello, i am experimenting with baking of high polygon mesh details on low polygon meshes and i faced an issue where i dont understand the logic behind. i ve added the files as fbx if you would like to try it yourself. i 1. Why does the result in substance painter look super smooth while it does not in blender or unreal… -
Re: Help needed! unable to select object/verts etc - 3DS max after using cut tool - solved?
Looks like everything is good but, what was happening is that snap tool your using. The snap tool in this case snaps to vertices. it does not matter if it the object you working on or another one (the one you were trying to cut into it. This is great BUT, Unless those vertices were aligned EXACTLY (not close) to the… -
Re: 3Ds max 2014 / Unity - what type of smoothing is this and how do I work with it?
It's important to point out two things: - The effect comes when you have several normals pointing in the same direction, so the lighting term of the surface will be the same -- you won't see the facets of the mesh. What gives the brightness of the overall surface is how much these normals are pointing in the direction of… -
Re: Tablets? (Not talkin 'bout graphics tablets)
I've kind of made a decision, and it's gotten to a point where I'd love to take reading, the internet, video tutorials and entertainment, even games I guess and all the functionality of a PC on the go. I don't entirely think a laptop can cut it, because I'd love more than anything than to be able to practice work on the go… -
Re: 3D Gun Modeling From a Student
Looking good so far. I like the concept, and the blockout seems good. A little planar through the X axis. When working on your high, and rendering it, you should shoot for a darker diffuse value and more intense specularity. When light hits the model and that light diffuses across the surface it hides or "blurs" the actual… -
Re: [Portfolio] Troy Mishler - 3D Environment Artist
Make the SSAO a little more intense, and add specular to some of the plants; like the flat ferns. Small leaves can have specular too depending on the species, if the leaves have smooth surfaces or slightly soft surfaces. Where the first would be more glossy and the second would have more of a highlight effect. I would also… -
Re: Substance painter to Marmoset
Base color goes in the albedo slot. Metallic goes in the metalic slot, but first you need to change the reflectivity model from specular to metalness. Normal goes in the normal map slot in surface. Roughness goes in the gloss map slot. If you're using roughness where white = most rough and black = most glossy, click the… -
Re: Frustrated hobbyist with Dynamesh issues
Dynamesh will not work with masks. You really don't have to bother with geo when you have a decent level of ground work done, choose half res in Zremesher (or experiment with values) and use subdivisions then. As said you can move the low subdivisions around and the go back to the higher ones. Subdivision will give a way…
