I'm really struggling to figure out how to create a nice and modular asset kit for a very large and complex environment. Here's an example: I'm gonna make the assets have actual geometry on each brick, like this for example: But that decision has come with many challenges. Namely, how to handle modular wall pieces and…
It's weird Painter still doesn't have easy fix for this . Designer baker has "skew " mask option for example . You also can project base box UV on the floating geo ( if it's one sided ), bake object space normal map and re-bake it to tangent space in any 3d package. Sometimes helps with complex things.
To me all this shapes that you show here looks relative easy to (re-)create. The only thing that you most probably won't achieve is to be 100% equal. Since we don't know what settings, workflow and tools the original artist used to create them. I doubt it was Gimp though. I second Pior's wish here. Give us an example and…
As okidoki mentioned above, we have a wiki with tons of curated resources. We even have example character meshes! http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BaseMesh And tons of example wireframes to examine and learn from http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BodyTopology http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Limb_Topology
Just a quick side note, if you wanted to go ask other devs (not on p.c.) say youtube videos or channels(as an example), about how their devs worked around these issues you might turn up some helpful, time saving feedback, that is IF they respond to it. Alternatively some peeps that have already fixed this could also just…

When Ninja Turtles came out for example, you know that awesome piece of crap that wasn't at all like the the arcade version, cost 50 bucks at some stores. So the prices for games in my eyes are pretty standard…
Each update I waste some time to see if Substance Sampler AI does anything useful finally and always just shrug and go away. Image to material usually does something just marginally better than old crazy bump . Ads halos around height details and looks same awful at sharp light angles. Surprisingly it sometimes works…

(I´m copying this from the substance designer subforum, seeming that my issue occurs minly in marmoset and no one is asnwering there, maybe here i'll have more luck) Hi, I'm learing SD and having a lot of fun, but i can't seem to get the grasp on how to make proper heightmaps and how to render them properly inside…
