Re: PBR Sword
Spoon: Thanks for the feedback. I generally try not to get too caught up with topology. I generally just make sure it's clean and it looks like I know what I am doing. Most of the stuff in my portfolio are personal work so I tend not to squeeze out maximum efficiency since it makes the whole process more enjoyable for me.… -

Re: Tips on building light substances
- Try to work in greyscale the most as possible (avoid greyscale -> color and color-> grayscale - Use the standard blend mode - For alpha blending: use the opacity input of the blend node (instead of injected the alpha in the foreground) - If the UV layout is composed of multiple parts (face, eyes, whatever), generate each… -

Re: Giving up the high poly or not?
I have never been in a situation where the highpoly asset and all relevant source files wouldn't be delivered to the client. I mean, why wouldn't you?

Re: SD5 - FX Map - Pattern scatter by Mask Input?
The way I tend to do it, is to sample the mask texture at the position where a blade is generated, and then use that to modulate the opacity or size of the blade. I prefer changing the size, because then I get a small blade of grass instead of some intermediate opacity value grass blade. So basically you generate a whole… -
Re: Landscape thread
Hey guys, I'm currently working on a scene using World Machine and UDK Landscape to generate mountain ranges, so I thought I'd revive this thread.
