Re: [UE 4] Lightmap black spots
Your example is actually an interesting one because it shows a case of distorting LM UVs, in this case making the shells with diagonal lines square. Here's your mesh after re-unwrapping the LM UVs. In the image below you'll see that there are no LM artifacts. Sometimes I find it hard to tell so I add a 'blowout light'… -
Re: cowboy help
This is tough to critique because you're clearly going going for a stylized character and can use that as a defense against anatomical flaws. Despite that, there's a few things that stand out to me that you can consider: -The model looks higher resolution in that most of the surfaces seem rounded, but the texture seems as… -
Re: In-depth description of Smooth Grouping
Good stuff from Poop. This is for max, right? From the help file: [ QUOTE ] Smoothing groups define whether a surface is rendered with sharp edges or smooth surfaces.

Re: External hard drive questions
Microsoft made it so XP pro and Win 2000 can't write fat 32 that big on grounds that ntfs is a better file system, it's not a bug it was intentional. I hate you Microsoft and Apple!

Re: Witcher 3 Architectural Material in Unreal 4
@A_B Sorry for taking so long to respond. If haven't messed with this in some time because I was doing other things. As far as purely getting better vertex painting results (minus everything else I did here) there's this video which walks you through everything pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPHnxGb6KHA That… -
Re: How Texture Affecting Performance Issues
Yes it is always better to split off your alpha stuff if it is only a small % of the asset that needs alpha, the reason is simple, a 1024x1024 texture with 24 bit(standard) is 1/4 the size of the original texture, and a 1024x1024 32 bit(with alpha) is only 1/2 the size when compressed. So you're doubling the amount of… -
