Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
This post based upon OP's numbers here http://polycount.com/discussion/171689/pbr-the-problem-with-greyscale-metalness#latest: I have several questions regarding this metalness usage plus a real-world example to ask questions about: (BTW this is not for game engines and targeted for 3DS Max renderers and such) 1. We are… -
Re: Inflating high poly before baking normal map
I missread the OP. :# I think he meant inflating low poly. It's what I meant. Doing it to Hipoly is indeed weird. Inflating low poly along vertex normals to bake world space normal map on the other hand is where low poly itself become the cage . That way it works in many renderers that are not supported by regular texture… -
Re: [WIP] Cathedral Project - Feedback needed.
Amazing work overall. As for your request depends what you want to do with it. I would suggest story telling, and in that regard gothic goes hand in hand with dark/gloomy vibes. Maybe work on a night/ominous lighting? Try to tell a story, you can light some tall rooms of the cathedral in an sinister manner for example ;)… -
Pwnisher, Anyone doing the "DRÆM SEQUENCE", starts Sat 31st Jan, 5pm 2026
Hey all! Is anyone planning to take part in Pwnisher’s new DRÆM SEQUENCE challenge? It kicks off Saturday 31st Jan at 5pm (2026). I’m probably being a bit delusional, but I think I’ll give it a go even though I have zero time. And I will try my best to get my students to take part. :) Here is the challenge page… -
Avoiding "broken" edges in bakes?
Hey everyone, I wasn't sure what it's called. The problem I'm referring to is what happens when you bake, for example, a smoothed cylinder onto a low-poly version of that cylinder. The baking info when put on the low poly mesh shows how the edges of the low poly object are breaking the smooth curve of the cylinder. I can't… -
Re: What's the difference between modelling a hole and painting an alpha(transparency)?
Visible geometry when this is for example some advertisment.. and what shoes does your favorite hero wear anyway ? (Of course it would look odd when for example a soldier wears high heels.. :wink: ) -
Re: Modern Tomboy-ish Zelda [WIP/Critique Welcome!]
Looks great! Only crit would be the sleeve folds.A MD example below. -
Re: 2D Game Art - Critique Appreciated!
I agree with @killnpc that having an artist to deal with all of this could help. Art is a big selling point to games, and I'm afraid all the work you've put in developing the mechanics of the game might not shine as it could. However, if it's a passion project and you don't have more than your time to invest in this, then… -
Few questions about time management
Hi folk, I wanted to ask you about time management of yours. How exactly do you arrange your time every day for studying and working with 3D? Maybe you are using scheduled daily routine, or maybe it more spontaneously? Can 3D artist arrange your day without fatigue, or it's impossible thing to do? For example, one half of… -
Re: FWVN edge wear material function for dynamic procedural texturing
Added convex / concave separation, and its working on both normal map and vertex normals. Example with beveled edges (vertex normals): Example with a normal map input: And an example with some noise texture break-up and convex only edges:
