testing Xnormal and Substance painter, baking normal map
Hi, I now understand about the mikkt and you can work with one smoothing group or different smoothing depend on uv island etc... I test out this object for baking to see the result here the Xnormal result with 2048 and 256 : in xnormal show some shading effect small amount in 2048 but noticeable in 256 here in Substance… -
RGB Confusion
Hello! Sorry if this has been addressed, a search for RGB brought up far too many threads to go through. I'm new to SP, and fairly new to 3D painting so not familiar with all the terms for my issue. As I'm trying to match some colors I'm running into a problem with the RGB format with SP. It doesn't seem to be in the 255… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
Playing with volume rendering again. This is the mannequin voxelized at 256*256*256 resolution. If the volume is used with the volume material domain, it even gets lighting. But no self shadowing unfortunately, because thats a limitation of the volumetric fog currently. So you can choose between getting light from scene… -
Re: Can someone explain this metallness/PBR thing to me.
I know you are doing the dark plastic in albedo, and like I said, 30/255 is really the lowest value you should ever use on Albedo. There's measured values of dark materials IRL, and charcoal and black acryl paint both measure out well above 30/255 even, more like 50/255 (they are the darkest you'd get). And regarding… -
Re: Maxscript - scripting Vertex Colour fails unless I do a manual assign once
I recently mixed a script that uses vertex colors and then bake it using RTT - and it works in just 1 click. It is based on this script: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/pits-peaks the order of things is something like this:for i = 1 to $.numVerts do( local colr = color (random 0 255) (random 0 255) (random 0… -
[Post Launch] Need Low-Poly Modeler...
Project Extract is currently looking for a Low-Poly Modeler! While we can not pay at first, we are currently trying to obtain a position that may eventually become a full time paying job. We need to reach a further point in development in order to obtain funding. We have already spoken to several investors and received… -
Re: Physically based rendering in games
Yeah but you can be pretty much guaranteed that in a production environment, there will be people who just don't get it, and will screw the values. It's a decent degree safer to juse use "Metal, or not metal" definitions as that will cover easily 90%+ of your use-cases. The other benefit of metalness workflow for us is… -
Re: Portfolio design
Looks good. It's easier to use CSS to render the thumbnail borders. CSS 3 makes rounded corners possible with border-radius, but I don't know if it's worth a damn. They would look better square anyway. .thumb img {border: solid 10px rgb(255, 255, 255)} I agree about the legal jargon, nobody gives a shit. -
Opacity in 3dsmax turning entire mesh translucent
Hey, so basically I've got the following problem in 3dsmax as well as the UDK. While creating hairplanes in 3dsmax and loading in an opacity map, the entire mesh turned translucent, and I was able to see the underlying geometry, although its associated texture was entirely white. The bitmap was plugged directly into the… -
Re: Haunted House Environment
I agree with 256*256 textures, the smallest resolution you work, the most you will pay attention to use them well. Some can say "oh, let's go with a 1024, this is not going to be pixelly", but they don't add details and spend not the work required for such a huge texture. If you render something good in 256, you will have…
