Re: MIC Warning messag!
This warning is here because you are changing at runtime a material saved inside a package. Usually the good workflow is to make a copy of this material in memory at runtime and apply this copy back to the mesh. This way you only change the material in memory and let the material in the package intact. This is because a… -
Re: Small Zbrush artifacts on mesh - Problem with baking further on?
Its hard to see since they are small. Are these missing polygons, or just shaded differently? If it's the latter, it could just be a different material accidentally being painted in. Two quick ways to tell if this is the case: 1. Turn off polypaint (Tool: Polypaint: Colorize, or the paintbrush icon next to the subtool's… -
Re: Substance Painter - Egde Padding Setting
yes it cant intersect but the thing is that I am using several materials for same uv space . This is done so that I could hide some parts of the model for better texturing experience. For instance I hide sword scabbard so I can see the sword while texturing. When I export sword scabbard, the padding goes to the place where… -

Re: Texturing high poly models
Look into Mari, it's very common for highpoly/film texturing workflows. Other than that, it's nowhere near as standardized as what you'll typically see in games. Materials might be made up from any combination of uv unwrapped and hand painted textures, to procedural materials without uvs. Pretty much anything that will… -
Re: Texture Atlas VS separate textures [A Game Performance Question]
Depends. In the case of a tree, I'd say use 2 materials, because then you can reduce the amount of transparency. In the case of the apartment building, probably I'd still go with multiple materials because it gives better control, and actually +-1 material doesn't make a big difference if its used properly, and if it has a… -
Re: Mental Ray Lightning problems. 3D Max.
It could be a simple problem caused by your material. You have to use ALWAYS mental ray materials when you render with mental ray renderer. The standard MIA material works very well for this task. You just have to create a MIA material, plug your diffuse map in the diffuse color slot, and instead of plug in your opacity… -

Re: [WIP] Italy Environment
Prepared a Vertex Paint material inside Unreal and adjusted the Stone Wall a bit. I have to change the pattern to something more horizontal still. So far the Brick wall is a scanned surface from adobe Stock, but I want to make the Brick Material myself in designer, seems to be simple enough for my skillset and I think it… -
