Re: [Unity Shadergraph] Why are some of my grass cards totally black
Those are back faces. Flip the normal on the back faces (in the shader). Not sure about Unity, but in Unreal, there is a node called 2 sided sign. It returns 1 for front faces and -1 for back faces. And there you can use this node to detect and flip the normals on back faces. This would simulate that you have actual double… -
Re: cliff modeling/texturing suggestions
Currently in the process of making some cliffs myself. Suggestion would be make a nice tileable cliff rock texture, place it on a flat plane and start sculpting out some of the details, either through modularity or just out of a single mesh. Basically you use your texture as your guideline to make cuts into the mesh and… -
Re: Maya 2014 finally gets a huge update to its modeling tools!
@Ark i assume your talking about split polygon tool. if you go into the options and you uncheck 'constrain to edge' then you can cut the interior of a polygon and make random cuts anywhere you like. when you click inside a polygon and drag to the edge the vertex will be welded to the edge or vertex. you can never assume… -
Re: Switching from Max to Modo - Tips?
Quick Tip: I was previously going between the UVEdit layout and the Game Tools layout to prep my mesh and UV Sets for Unreal and Substance. I *just* streamlined this by customizing the default UVEdit layout so that the tabs on the right of my viewports default to the Items List and the Vertex Maps list. This way I can more… -
Re: The Twilight Sepulchrum
Thanks for the feedback mats effect! I agree with what you said about that floor in the front needing some more work. I'm probably going to vertex paint the walls and that floor to add the extra wear and age to them. I made a light fixture over the weekend so there is an obvious light source in areas that lacked one. Its… -
Re: Strange Lighting Bugs Even With LightMaps?
The seams you get when having "no lightmaps" aren't actually due to a bug. Without lightmap it will fall back on vertex lighting, but due to Unreals special approach to subdivided vertex lighting, seams appear between modular meshes (which because, great joy, epic by default has hidden the property that is meant to fix… -
Re: Creating faceted shadows
Which version of UDK? I suggest using the latest one, or the one from last December. Which version of Max and what export version of FBX are you using? Some versions of FBX are outdated or need to have a couple of boxes ticked. Did you try ASE too? This could be another option. Are you baking to Lightmap or Vertex?… -
Re: New(ish) member looking for feedback
First of all: stunning texture job! OK, maybe a bit uniform, but a few hours of work will lift it from awesome to amazing, no doubt. Artistically, I think you're home free. However, I would have a look at your topology, and how optimised your mesh is (as your tutor told you). Try to think of it like this: Does this vertex… -
Re: [Tutorial] Tileable Textures
so here's a bit of a sneak peak at what ill be showing you in UDK. whats involved here is creating a mesh from the existing maps. creating a shader in udk using upvector blending and vertex paint. i was just running some tests to see if i could get everything working ok.. and i did. i also experimented with vertex painting… -
Re: Next Gen Tri Count Prediction
While I agree it's less of an issue than maybe it was Vertex data is also passing though vertex shaders. If a skinned character has 20k verts, there is a distance on screen at which it will be vert bound and at which point it would be more efficient if LODed. I don't know about the this "next generation" (I've jumped out…
