Rigging elbowpad in Blender
Hello PC, I have a problem trying to rig this metallic elbowpad with its straps. The idea is making the straps deform with the arm, for which I'm using Mesh Deform; but I want the elbowpad to simply follow the movement of the arm without any deformations. Since it's a single object I can't use vertex parenting because it… -
Maya copy skin weights at same object
I see here many ask how copy weights from one object to other, BUT i need copy weights from T shirt to mesh under that T shirt, in order to they can move exactly the same and don't separate, and it should be one mesh, in maya paint weight tool i can copy only one vertex to paste, but i need copy all vertex weight which… -
Tiling normal map over the top of static mesh in painted areas
Hey guys, Couldn't really sum up what I was trying to convey in the title so here goes. I simply want to vertex paint normal detail in to areas of my mesh. I'm not sure if this is possible in Cryengine but thought I'd ask. Basically I have done this in the past in UDK with a lerp and blend the normal based off a vertex… -
Re: Bertie... The Robot
So I'm starting to set up my materials, Get Vertex Paintable Shaders set up, basic lighting, and mood.. Probably going to start the right side of the street. It should get quicker the further down the street I go, since it will be practically Vertex Painted buildings. **Oh, also whats the best way to bump up the normal map… -
Re: Remaking Phantasy Star assets
What if you took a similar stance to the ground using vertex blending for the texturing. You can model the trees how you want, and let them use tiling textures, then you can use vertex blending to change the textures at certain parts like the roots or when you want to add special details/moss. Also by making a few of the… -
Re: Preserve UVs not preserving anything in Max
preserve UV will attempt to keep everything perfectly. and most of the times it does. however it is not going to rearrange your texture. what preserve UV does is slide the vertex on the existing texture page's UV space, now if that vertex you pull is on the edge, and considering that a texture page often is tightly packed,… -
Re: Decal technique from Star Citizen
Okay, so I figured out I could use layered materials in Unreal, for ending up with one mat/one draw call, but the documentation is saying that maybe its better to use individual materials, If I don't need per pixel blending, which I can understand. The question is, which would result less heavy performance cost. An another… -
Re: My daily 3D modeling sketchbook.
Time for some tech art stuff. This is a material I made using the Strumpy Shader Editor for the Unity engine. It uses vertex color combined with a depth map to blend two sets of textures together.

Re: Gulp... Mirrored Normal Seam
How are you baking this? If you are simply deleting half of the mesh > bake > apply symmetry, than the vertex normals are probably not aligned the same as when you had half of the mesh. Check Attachment. What you could do to minimize the effect is to delete, not the exact half, but grow the selection an additional… -
Re: it's over! the great game of UV-puzzling is dead!
Slightly OT, but... In the long run, I'm of the opinion that UVs are going to cease to exist for higher-end games (maybe sooner than you think). Very powerful voxel-driven engines are already being developed, tools like Polypaint in ZBrush are being developed, and while these are in their infancy I can see them replacing…
