Re: Programs that can paint out seams easily
Not that I know of in 3DC...I suppose you could in Mudbox as its done on a categorical layering system, e.g: Diffuse layer 2 layer 1 Specular layer 1 You could just copy a layer from the diffuse and paste that as a seperate layer into the spec or gloss category, although I haven't tested it I just remember the UI from a… -
Re: Mouse for Digital Artists
Logitech MX518 is the absolute number 1 choice, in my opinion...looks like others feel the same as me too. Razer is good, but I've had THREE in the past, and none of them compares to the durability and life of Logitech's mouses (2 / 3 of the razer mouses died on me during use). I've only had 1 MX518 Logitech mouse ever… -

Re: blending tileable textures
I was wondering this exact thing, so it's fresh in my mind :) If you want to have the texture you're going to vertex paint on one sheet just create a separate uv channel and unwrap again (mind you 0/1-1/2 are already taken). Once inside UDK you can use a "Texture Coordinate" node that can switch between UV channels. -
Re: Bloom effect - how to ?
1) What engine are you using? UDK? Anything with a emissive map (or a spec map with a value higher than 1) normally glows provided you set up the Post Processing Volume to encompass the area you want the effect to happen. 2) Dropbox is awesome, its free and as easy as it gets. drop a file in the public folder, right click… -
Re: The best way to make metal
i think that the problem may be that it looks more like clouds than metal, cuz if you look at real metal, (like the kind you are trying to re-create) u notice that it is made of many flakes, some small and some large, and most times, about 1/3 to 1/2 of them have a higher shine or specular level. just my thoughts. -
Re: Normal Map issues
hmmm... you can clearly see it in the normal map, so it's the smoothing on the seams or whatever themselves. For that you may not want to make them all 1 smoothing group though, because it might cause the normals leading into the seams to be too dark. Try setting all of them at 1, then set the seams as 2, or anything that…
