Maya RANDOMLY inverting Normal maps
While using Arnold in Maya, I faced an unusual problem: There are 32 teeth models in the project (16 upper and 16 lower). I use 4 UDIM maps; one for each eight teeth. For some reason, Maya visually inverts the Normal maps along the Y axis ONLY for the lower teeth, while the upper teeth remain as they should (in the final… -
Re: Grid Settings for Unity Scale (Maya)
Maya's default unit should correspond to Unity's default meter units. If you make something 2 units tall it should import nicely to be 2m in Unity. Very handy. As for what to set your grid to, (Display > Grid > [ ]) that's up to you, and it depends on what you're working on. You have 3 basic options: Length and Width -… -
Re: Portfolio critique - enviro / prop artist
Hey man. I'm not going to sugar-coat it and just go for it. I hope that's alright. So here's my unfiltered journey through your portfolio! My first impression was bad, I almost instantly closed the page. The only thing that caught my eye was the chandelier, everything else looks very old-gen and flat, especially the… -
Re: Everyone gets one! AR-15 / VLTOR M4!

Re: WIP Beatdown Character

Re: Sci Fi Racer
I don't know if lowpoly is the best way to go first. I know this is a legit way of starting but it is usually when you know your tricount and you need to get the silhouette down with your tricount first and then match it with the highpoly. At the moment you are not even sure what you are modeling. If you were to start with… -
Re: Animating fading out objects for game engines
That looks like Unity! Here are some options: EDIT - It was material.color.a material.color.a (or similar) can be scripted. Attach a script to the emitter or something, and fade it. So: instantiate (Z prefab, which is a plane - NOT the Unity plane with 200 tris - with texture and shader with transparency)… -
Re: Of Bit Depths, Banding and Normal Maps
I once saw an excellent illustration for this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now. Anyway its hard to explain without pictures to someone unfamiliar with the math, but I'll give it a shot. So picture a cube that is the full 8-bit RGB color space (each axis corresponding to R, G, and B respectively, and varying from 0…
