Re: Low poly cars - advice please
Some extra info, if you're interested.... I've had some advice so far : "basic Bitmap reflection would do a lot for the glass, chrome, etc. Try applying that in Max and baking it into your diffuse as well." (and) "A trick I use too, is to apply a subtle gradient map, working planar on UV2, black at the bottom of the model… -
Re: Texture painting - How fo I change my techniques for normal maps?
Thanks! I'm so grateful for a quick reply. Not much painting? that's a scary thought, I mean, I'm crap at painting but... well I've already put a bunch of material and shadow from AO in my map but it still looks so flat, That might be my normal map's fault due to it being my first one. I'd like to know more techniques if… -
Re: Anime Process + Shader Techniques
For reference, the Guilty Gear Xrd GDC presentation is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGjCzxJV3E They mention a few things in there, maybe this helps: - They preferred to use vertex attributes (colours and normals) instead of textures to store information because it was easier to edit (instant feedback) and these… -
rookie questions about hand-painted textures
first off, if this is in the wrong forum i apologize. it's my first post here on polycount. I'm a college student, and my main focuses are character design and animation. (i'm currently a character animation intern for avalanche studios---disney interactive). however, i love creating 3d art and am hoping to get better. a… -
UDK Material - Vertex Paint being cancelled out by up-vector math?
This post is also on the UDK Forum here, I just REALLY need this fixed :/ I have a material that I want to go on a trench-like mesh. I need it to blend between the surface/wall textures and can do this using a Constant3Vector Dotted with a Transformed Vector, and use this as the alpha of a lerp node to blend between the… -
Re: PBR or Handpainted ?
From a glance. I would say a lot of it would most likely be done via baking from the high-poly source that was hand stylized in sculpt. Most of the texturing like this is done with solid fill layering and procedural masking, in combination with gradient diffuse textures. Which most of the color blending comes from… -
Re: Gradiant Mapping Problems
So sad all the time. lol oh yeah I tried making a gradient map for the vertex blending. I am getting all sorts of errors I will prolly make a new thread and post new problems up there. It looks like you worked around some huge technical issues to get the vertex blending to work right. I just assume it will work right; I… -
Re: PBR Practice
If you mean this image from here: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-practice M refers to microsurface (either gloss or roughness, depending on which you are using. Make sure to read the key at the bottom of the image. The chart about is for the specular workflow, not the metalness workflow. For the metalness… -
Re: Study Advice for an aspiring Game Character Artist
For your first character that is pretty good! Working with the photoshop 3d painting is not something I've seen a lot of people do due to how clunky it is. Regarding your question and examples, it really depends on what you want to do. 3D coat is better for purely diffuse painting, while Substance Painter likes to… -
Re: [TUT] Large Scale Rubble Tutorial
hey timothee, cool technique big props to you! i'm really a friend of the procedural thing, and ages ago i tried some very similar like this, except for going with displacements. (which would have done it i think) if you like to push it forward and also create the diffuse via procedurals to have a start for the painting,…
