Feedback – Finished Blockout / Early Set Dressing
Hey everyone, I started this environment for a Polycount challenge a while back but couldn’t finish it because I got busy. I’ve picked it up again and I’m currently at the finished blockout / early set dressing stage. I still need to work on a few props—some of them are just placeholders for now. I also haven’t done a… -
Where do developers get reference for Environments set in History?
Hello Polycounters, I've been playing through the Assassin's Creed games for the first time the last few weeks; making my way through them chronologically (Playing Unity currently) and something that's been bothering me, is just how exactly do Ubisoft artists gather reference material for their Environments? I understand a… -
3d max - How can I see 2nd UV set in 'Edit UVWs'
At first - sorry for my english. I have an object, and unwraped UVs for it (for diffuse texture) on 1st map channel. I choose again 'Unwrap UVW' and change map channel on 2nd, then click 'Edit UVW' and I'm changing UVs for e.g. lightmap (or I'm doing it automatically by some program) - and ethg is allright. And now, when I… -
Setting up Toon Shader
Hi there so I'm trying to set up a toon shader. But I'm getting confused by how to set it up with the textures I use. Here is my screenshot of how i have it set up.

Scout Hover Bike — Sci-Fi Checkpoint Bay
Hi everyone, :) I’m starting a new project: a sci-fi Scout Hover Bike set within a small urban perimeter checkpoint bay. The scene will have an overcast, damp, slightly neglected atmosphere, but the location should still feel operational and believable. For this project, I want to explore mechanical sci-fi and hard-surface… -
UV Squashing in Borderlands 2 on masks for color tints.
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give… -
Re: Paint vertex normals in 3dsmax
Had a look at Hair and Fur: The guides (Display Guides in the Display rollout) are hard coded to 15 segments, but if you scale all of them down enough right at the start and choose the tips as selection method, you can manipulate them reasonably well. "Stand" would be similar to a gradual reset/revert, "Clump" to pinch.… -
Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
So setting aside the fact that he doesn't know how his own technology works or games are made... If it did control and generate things every frame at the geometry level that would be impressive from a technical standpoint. However similar questions come to mind as any other art: how do you keep it consistent and prevent it… -

Substance Designer - Precision setting gets ignored after updating to a newest version
Hey. I just renewed my license and updated to the latest version of Substance Designer, and I'm noticing some serious precision issues. Some nodes (maybe all, I haven't confirmed yet) straight ignores the bit depth setting, even when I start with a specific precision. I noticed this on warp nodes but theres probably more.…
