Hi all, So this will probably be a very quick question. I'm an aspiring Environment Artist and I wanted to ask about using Specular maps in Photoshop. When you apply a Specular Map in Photoshop to your Diffuse map, and then when you import it into UDK, should you use the Diffuse map texture for the Specular port in the…
Every time I open Substance Painter it amazes me how monstrously inconvenient it is . It has gazillion of useless things and still lacks basic tools that makes an artist life simple and let you focus on art rather than technical stuff.

Make sure you have Show Hidden Files and Folders turned on in the folders options.

However, I am trying to take a 2d image in photoshop and make it fit the curves (flow) of the uv's. I will upload a picture of the uv's with a red line to show you what I mean exactly. Does…
Hi guys, Yesterday I encountered something weird. Everything I save out of photoshop turns into a image.12 extention, which I can open on my laptop, but anywhere else the file is corrupted. I can't see the PSD logo anymore, it shows as a blank sheet of paper. Does anyone else have experience with this problem and/or have a…
