Other texture maps (height, AO, etc) are often packed into the normal map alpha channel. If you don't need to put anything in A, you can change the dropdown to RGB.
I know Houdini focus has been VFX, I have few questions regarding cinematic pipeline. Hero characters, close shots UDIM-s etc. I know by the fact UDIM-s are used in films and often also on hero characters and in VFX pipeline. Main reasin is that you have more control over texture details on specific model. For example: If…
I'm looking though the Metal Gear Solid assets to see how things were done back in the day and I can't figure out how the texture shading is done. The texture fades to black along the bottom of the ceiling rock where it meets the wall: But I can't see how this is achieved. It's not a different texture: it doesn't seem to…
Well, for character animation usually you don't have the same kind of strict limits as you have for environment art, so it's a different issue in many ways. For environments, usually you have to pay close attention to reusing assets and materials/textures as much as possible, so you don't blow the memory budget or kill…
I made some tests, and the results with 4k texture aren't crispy enough. I have seen a lot of renders in Artstation with 4k textures with a very high res result, Why my renders only achieve this kind of details with 8k textures? The texel density is around 19px/cm.Still, I would like to say that after testing, If I double…
Hi guys, in this project of mine I almost gave it up on trying to finish it, there is this error that doesn't let me paint correctly, the texture I imported moves around when I pan or zoom or add elements on top of it, it's simply frustrating. Can anyone spot the error? I am a beginner and the lack of information online…
Hello again, So i've searched the net for what's the best solution for baking ambient occlusion, i've also found the thread here on polycount on baking maps, but to be honest i'm still a bit confused. Let's say I have a big level with multiple assets inside.(i have channel 1 diffuse, and channel 2 lightmap) 1.From what…
Hi guys, i want to make a 2k texture with 512x512 decals on it (16 decals total). how can i manage to get just the right decal i want to have when i act with the decal function in the engine itself? i think i need to pan to the right position but how?
What does a texture sheet and UVs look like for these assets? Curious how much UV reuse. And what about the bottom? Are these going to be rigged with physics, and thus tumble-able in-game? The bottom could conceivably use lower texel density, or reuse the same texture as the top, etc. Also, are you baking an ambient…
