Re: MEL script, how to query what materials are applied to what faces.
I don't do Mel but you need to do this... 1.Get a list of shading groups 2.Get a list of members from each shading group - which will be shape nodes or faces 3. Store all that for later It's about 5 lines of pymel, no idea how it'd work in mel. It gets awkward if you're only interested in a subset of objects or your scene… -
Re: Albedo Creation Confusion
No, this is the whole idea of physically based shading/rendering: to eliminate old hacks. Same as it's been in offline rendering for years once ray tracing became the norm. This is where the glossiness/normal/ao map all work in harmony in the PBR workflow, to create the microsurface detailing shading quality under… -
Re: I want to work for Blizzard
A lot of what makes Hearthstones style is the shading and rendering that they do as well as color choice. Throwing in at least some base colors and shading would greatly help us give some critique. Based on what you've got right now hearthstone drawings like to really exaggerate a few key features of what they're… -
5.56 NATO PMAG 3D reference to share

Re: Environment portfolio piece, destroyed poultry cross
Interesting idea/concept for the piece. The lamp post looks pretty cool, but I don't see it in the painting. Are you using any supplemental ref for that? The larger forms/shapes of the tower look OK, but I think everything is too soft and you need some tighter edges on the stonework. It looks a bit buttery and isn't… -
Re: [ TIP ] Handpaint normal maps with less effort
TBH, there isn't really any time when anyone should be hand painting normal maps. Its not human readable data, and shouldnt be treated as such (it just gets messy) Not that I'm trying to shit on your effort mate, It's good of you to put the effort in and share. The reasons I'd be down on this method: *Only works easily for… -
Re: Strider (image heavy + nudity)
i agree with what whats_true said, and would like to add that the materials/shaders and lighting really don't sell the model at all, the flat grey shaded model is looking so much better without the colours and lighting, it really destroys alot Maybe try bringing it into marmoset, normally the shading in the toolkit pushes… -

I also need to create the shape highlighted in the image below, not sure on the best way to approach this either? Currenty I have this setup, however it's not very inuititve if I want to change the sizing or gap at the…
