Re: Knald - Master Thread
Hello. First of all thanks for amazing software) I don't know is it a right place to ask for some future features request but i'll put it here if you don't mind) First one is: could be great to have an opportunity to bake diffuse\albedo texture from importing a texture to lopoly\highpoly mesh (+ simple control for tiling).… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge April 2014 (18)
Zocky, that sucks man. Scene is looking pretty good so far. I like the tops of the columns. I'll be adding something like that when I go through on the detail pass. Update for me. Trying to finish all the big stuff before moving on to the details. Pretty happy so far. I've made some test lightmaps and the results are… -
Re: Deus Ex3 env fanart
Thx for the comments guys. Well appreciated. So had another shot at lighting this scene. I don't want to introduce different colors to it, since there are plenty of colors in there already. I also don't want to stick too much to the concept art (I really never intended to do this) but just make a nice scene. So I toned… -
Re: Tesselation in Unity
Still not entirely solved. I did end up experimenting with a phong tesselated surface shader and a vertex displacement map from zbrush, but the result still weren't good enough. To fix the split edges I had to preprocess the mesh in a c# script that found verts with duplicate locations and had them share normals and uv… -
Re: Aliz
Here are some renders from UDK. I had a couple of problems with the lightmaps and there is still a seam visible in the armpit, I'll see what I can do about it. Also, the hair alphas are not displaying correctly, seems like an alpha drawing order problem... I have to fix that too! Let me know what you think of the lighting,… -
Re: Haftoof's Workshop - Newbie Artist :3
Well, Valve does say in their design docs that normal maps have a minimal effect in game due to lighting. However it's the AO, bent, lightmap bakes that really will make those details pop. The normal will mostly pop in the specular and rim lighting masks. But even with geo like you have in game you're only going to see a… -
Re: Military Facility Circa 1940 - Environment
Hi oobersli, I'll likely end up having a separate map and using the blue/alpha channels on the door map for text decals later. At the moment I was only working on the door itself so thought I'd use what was left in the texture rather than creating a new one. The suggestion of a separate AO is interesting, I already have a… -
Re: Adding bullet holes that may span UV boundries
My best guess would be to give it a second set of UV coordinates where the entire mesh is uniquely unwrapped, similar to how AO or Lightmaps are often baked. With unique UV's, your seams will always be on polygon edges, not UV edges. Not sure if your system allows that, though. I've heard of bullets that cast rays, and the… -
Re: Baking problems - Lightingmap
This looks like a simple skylight setup with the scanline renderer to me. You need to enable the light tracer (under rendering->advanced lighting) to get ao from the skylight. When you want to render out ao with this method, you need to choose "complete map" for output in the RTT. Lighting map is used to store the whole… -
Re: Vertex Paint vs Decaling vs finding better solution
since you are needing a second unique uv channel for lightmaps anyway just use that for your mask texture or for an overlay grime texture, you can also use world aligned textures which project the textures onto your meshes independant of uvs, it's quite costly though i think, i have been using both techniques combined for…
