Re: Substance painter - Quick color picking for handpainting
just by thought and not tested yet, put the colors on the map/texture/wireframes bakes beforehand and it should sort the issue, you probably figured that out-already? by time/date of post. a spectrum line on the map would be best to get through all the colors instead of having to rely on the one that makes things odd to… -
Re: Modern hardware optimization/limitations
lods are still standard practice nanite is amazing but it is not a magic bullet we still dont have enough memory for all the things because we fill it up with massive textures and buttloads of very dense meshes - you can't be lazier because you need to put more stuff in. a good lod is good for the same reasons a good lod… -
what is causing these dark artifacts? (normals)
I've baked and textured this in substance painter, but when I assign all textures in marmoset toolbag the results have these strange pixellated shadows in the normals. I've tried flipping normals, turning it off but nothing works. How do I get rid of these shadows in marmoset? -
Re: Combine High Poly Bake & Trimsheet ?
Building modules from a set amount of parts means their UVs are mapped to same pixels, maximizing the use of the texture - same as with mapping UVs of several parts to trims. As poopie wrote, it's fine to combine unique and tiling elements into one texture. Approach depends on the specific kit. What matters in the end is… -
Re: Avengers Global Chaos: 2D Platformer build with Unity and Starling Flash
@AsaNYC: Thanks, your response made my day. The flash target platform was decided higher up to maximize compatibility with the game in the browser (higher reach). But personally I would have preferred to have the whole game development inside Unity and in C#. I grew up with Flash development from the early days but these… -
Re: Remington 870 shotgun
Is there a reason you're unwraping the highpoly? Typicaly you use UV channel 1 on the lowpoly for all your textures. *Typically* highpoly uvs aren't necessary, unless you want to apply textures to it for a render or something like that. Generally you'll want UV seems out of sight from the players first person view. In my… -
Re: 30 days of hand-painted textures
Repeating shapes are certainly fine, and similar shapes within a texture will help bring some cohesion to the texture. But, that said if you're going to repeat those shapes identically, with no difference in painting, then there's no reason to make the texture that large (cause that's what the tiling will do). Looking at… -
Re: Resistance 3 Generator
Polycount is always a tricky subject, there's no perfect rules. To over simplify things here are the two things it will affect: - Memory: Denser meshes are more costly in memory. Vertex count matters, UV splits and hard normals will increase this, so always be careful about it. Memory is always an issue even on next gen… -

Modelling/Texturing for New Gen Consoles
So a lot of modelers on here, those learning or even working in the games industry, have a lot experience for modelling and texturing for last gen games. Which was all well and good for those consoles, and similar ideas can apply to modeling for art directed games as well as mobile stuff. But with this new generation of…
