I ended up contacting Marmoset support to figure this out. This ended up being an issue with Marmosets current inability (as of at least Nov 2022 when we had this discussion) to pass SSS through meshes whose sides consist of multiple materials. These dragons have multiple udims assigned to them. For example there's one…
My temp materials hardly ever spill over 24 slots. Personally I don't reserve slots for applied materials. That cuts down on quite a bit of the clutter. I also use the get material menu system to browse libraries and the scene materials. I also use the material browser (not the same as the material editor) to jump around…
Hello ! Always loving the JuniorSenior avatar :) Along the lines of the suggestions from the Great Eric, and considering that the goal is an actual game asset for UE, then simply start by modeling a first version of the final polygon game asset of the tent at rest. Garment making tools may be useful to an extent since they…
Hey everyone, I’m the creator and director of an early-stage dark fantasy rpg currently looking for a concept artist to establish visual tone for our vertical slice. About the Project: * Working title: “Eternal Night” * Dark fantasy action RPG * Heavy focus on tone, atmosphere, embodied combat, and deep narrative *…
Nice. There might be some layout savings, depending on what the texture looks like. You should be able to reuse the same sheet for all your trims that are for props with a material that has peeling paint. What does the 2d texture look like? And are you using a roughness texture too? This would help a ton with lighting…
Thank you LoteKk! I think I finally managed to get this thing error proof so I am posting the full script. Name: Bigley_Smart_Material What it does: -- When run it creates 3 materials in the Material Editor that I use on a regular basis * Nothing Pressed - Reads material from current selection and selects all other…
Hey! So far the overall texturing looks good! However, whats missing is a bit of PBR material definition. Even though Overwatch is a stylized game they do still use quite some different materials to break up their assets. Using the junkrat weapon as an example you can see the weapon features different material types. I'd…
projected decals 'should' work fine with tesselation (haven't tried in unreal) - this is what we do for footsteps etc. in most of our games perhaps it's worth posting some images illustrating the problem - could just be some maths (can't check because I've uninstalled unreal) you could try writing into a virtual texture…
Oh, I was looking how to achieve it in a project that uses UDK, but the method I made doesn’t convince me at all, so I was wondering how to achieve a good roughness in the materials.
