Re: ⚒ Spectre Divide - Commons Environment Art ⚒
Hey, Thanks for the reply. Alot of the Material work was done by Andy Kreutzer and Jeff Horal, My leads. Our goal with the Materials were to get it to look like an anime background. We made use of vertex painting for rust, wash color and paint stripping. The main look of the materials were driven by lerping basic color… -
Re: [Finished] Rock Study Dioramas - Unreal Engine 5
Got some time this holiday so far to update the textures of the rocks as I felt the rock textures were too plastic looking and the color variation was not to my liking. Below is a gif of the current state in UE5 of my shader and setup w/ the new textures :) I think it looks pretty cool. Next, I've been tackling the moss… -
Re: Bridge of Sighs
Ok thank you! I do indeed have a secondary light pointing towards to bridge at the moment to try make it stand out more as a focal point but I will tone it down a little to improve that. I am currently using vertex painting and RGBA masks with a few decals on top but I will have another pass on it to increase the… -
Re: How to fix those texture errors?
For such a pretty "mid res" object it's definitely wouldn't be an issue to find distance after few tries. But since I often bake for lod02 and extremely low poly geo, sometimes grouped things into some kind of boxy shell with only silhouette having more or less enough vertexes that distance slider sometimes doesn't work.… -
Re: What are you working on? 2019!
I've been practicing using trim sheets after Polygon Academy's videos and reading about the Ultimate Trim Technique from Sunset Overdrive. I created a single trim sheet and a small scene (top left). I tried to use vertex blending to create mud and moss for breakup and variety. I felt my meshes were too simple and generic.… -
Re: Zbrush materials in xnormal
By the time you have a material baked into the texture of a sculpt, you could convert it to polypaint and just export that instead of having extra UV data on the sculpt. And you can use xnormal to bake the color of the highpoly onto the UVs of the lowpoly (using polypaint or a texture if you insist on using it). For… -
Re: Changing UVs after polypainting and sculpting in Zbrush 4r6
it's perfectly possible to slip in a new set of UVs while preserving sculpt, polypaint and layers in Z as long as the vertex order stays the same - but in my experience with max in it's a particular headache since it manages to mess it up all the time in the OBJ exporter. if you have access to maya or blender it's not even… -
Re: max normals: single smoothing group 90 corner tube issue
I think this is to do with angle weighting, which I don't think Max supports natively (Maya does, though, I think). Effectively, the vertex normal gets calculated as the normalized sum of all of the normals of the triangles it's attached to. But on one side, it's got a single triangle and on the other it's two triangles… -
Re: How to make Decent grass planes
It depends a little on what software you are using to create the grass in and what app you will be displaying your final environment it. Generally I would model and texture a single blade grass, then use whatever modeling tools I have available to modify that original grass blade to produce some bent and broken variants.… -
Re: ZBrush 2018: An actual feature-filled update
onionhead_o - not sure if the vertex order does change, but maybe just the act mirroring the mesh may change the vert order? will have to have a look a that out of interest. re films/vfx the only problem I had was that in the film/vfx workflow, they always want a model to work with straight away, so they can test rigs etc.…
