Thanks! I'm sorry to bring this one up again, I haven't had time to work much more on it so far. I've been really busy finishing up a big ass tutorial page. I'm working hard on a material tutorial that will cover everything from rough rock materials to smooth/reflective metal surfaces. It's going to be a material tutorial…
Remember that whatever materials you apply to your high poly will also be captured. Normal, spec, diffuse they can all be captured. A lot of people overlook this and capture just the difference in geometry. So taking some time to do some basic materials and unwrapping on your high poly can get you a pretty good start on…
Here is a quick little script I made for Photoshop. The script is designed to make working with masks in multiple layers much easier. What it does it sync the mask on the currently selected layerSet to the masks of all layerSets that share the same name. I find this makes it very easy for me to work with PBR materials in…
I was thinking about trying custom mips like that to avoid having grout show up too strongly at shallow angles, where it would realistically occlude itself. I have in UE made materials were parts would fade like that white foam texture depending on angle or distance, but doing it in the MIP is free, but not consistent.

I'm working for a company that uses spec/gloss over metallic/roughness. Set up my shader, added my spec/gloss maps, but it appears that when I add materials and smart materials I can't get them to show the base color in material preview. It works in base color solo mode, but not material. How do I toggle the visibility?
I will give you some pointers for now as I've actually got to catch a train in like half an hour and this is a dense topic, but here's what I would do in case of that girder. There will be a lot to research but I think it will be more exciting for you that way anyway. 1) Model your girder with either support loops added to…
