Re: Some workflow/nanite questions coming from UE4
POM is pretty expensive and prone to a lot of artefacting - personally i try to avoid it unless I'm not in a position to generate the mesh I actually need (damage decals are a great use case for POM) - Nanite has no bearing on this at all. There is a baseline cost to using Nanite and you need to be sure that your target… -
Re: Blender: Can a bone have two parents? [Robot game character rigging]
I don't fully understand why you want to have two parents at one side of the cable. You can try something like this, though I don't know the export to UE4 will handle that, I only used this kind of setup in Blender so far. Red - Your leg bones Yellow - Cable bones Blue - IK target, parented to the leg bone in the center… -
Re: 3dsMax Morpher - Vertex Color
I'm pretty sure FBX only stores the vertex position offsets for morph targets, and nothing else. I had a similar issue a few years ago, trying to use different UVs on a morph target. But Morpher isn't built that way, it only considers vertex positions (IIRC). You could try to brute-force it, by copying the vertex colors… -

Re: Character creator and animations
Here is the basic idea behind character creators. Most of them are based around morph targets. Eg. you have a single skeleton, then you define two different face meshes (same vertex setup !), one with a tiny nose, one with a big nose including bones weights. In game you will just have a nose slider which blends between the… -
Re: Dual normal mapping -- form and detail.
To find the optimal solution, you'd need to benchmark each possibility. Any one of them could be best, depending on your software and your target hardware. In some scenarios, texture memory will be a bottleneck. Especially if your target platform doesn't have much available. In other scenarios, vertex processing might be a… -
Re: Early testers wanted (platform for indie & solo game devs)
I mean it just sounds like a really niche target audience. Maybe expand it to allow the inclusion of X-rated games as well? Recently payment processors have overstepped their powers; https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mastercard-responds-to-censorship-allegations-after-forcing-storefronts-to-remove-adult-games/1100-6533641/… -
Re: Zbrush Brush for enhancing edges...?
There's a few ways to approach this. The simplest is just to use the pinch brush, sparingly. For a more stylised (and destructive) approach, try some of the trim, planar and polish brushes. A more involved way is to use morph targets and the clay polish effect in tool>geometry>clay polish. Store a morph target of the… -
Re: Normal map seams on UV seams
Are you targeting UE4? If so try turning on Use "Full Precision UV" by double clicking on your mesh in the content browser. Sometimes I see seams in SP/Toolbag but they show up in UE4, even though both are sync to MikkT. So it's always a good idea to check in your target engine. Your Mesh in UE4(don't notice any seams,2K…
