Re: Rock modelling question
I actually often just lasso mask and pull out (Move brush with ALT). Or using transpose move, holding alt, and dragging the last dot, if the surface should be curved. You can eventually sharpen the mask first, if you want a sharper line. Then hammer it wth the TrimSmoothBorder. Does that help in any way? Can we see an… -
Re: FPS Hands
Looks awesome and about your question : What you can do, is unwrap your low poly, then you can load an alpha and under the Masking tab, under the tooltab, you can press mask by alpha. If you have a tileable alpha you can increase the HTile and VTile under the alpha tab to make it smaller if its to big That's the way I… -
Re: Editing certain parts of a Normal Map
You kind of just answered your own question, mask it off. I just color selected the egg whites with some feathering and content aware filled. Then created the normal map, grabbed some of the still visible outlines in the normal maps and content aware filled those. If you don't have the content aware fill feature on your… -
Re: [WIP] Sci-Fi Cave Environment
ya i meant that for ditching seams on non tiling materials, it's a similar idea to how people make tiling materials in photoshop, just instead of masking a texture with a offset version of the texture, your are masking with vertex colour 2 uv sets. some cases it would beat the clone brush in mudbox in other cases you might… -
Re: Alpha is baking into Vertex Color PNG
Vertex alpha support was added with 3.05, so you should be seeing the vertex alpha content in the PNG's alpha channel. If this is problematic, you can remove the alpha channel in Photoshop by going to Layer-> Layer Mask -> From Transparency. This will split out the alpha channel into a layer mask which you can delete.… -
Re: udk transition materials
The only question I have is how did you make it so that (in the first transition), the fade effect came from the normals? I noticed that the glow, in itself, very specifically grows and pops up from the normals, before having the 'mask' kick in and transition the remaining of the way. Did you Mul all the Normal Channels to… -
Re: Zbrush - projection master / alphas on curved surfaces?
Slight variation on what Cyrid posted. Get you uvs layed out for your object, create an alpha for it in Photoshop, load it up in zbrush, use it as a mask with you fancy new uvs and inflate. This way has a bit more contol and the mask can be easily loaded up later for help with painting, etc. I made a terrible info graphic,… -
Re: Is there a reason NOT to use a metalness workflow in PBR?
That's not a bad strategy. Just keep compression artifacts in mind--for DXT5 maps that are masks the most important texture should go in the alpha channel, the second most important in the green, and the least important in the red and blue. So, if I were you I would probably put the transparency in the alpha channel of the… -
Re: How to get gradient map on a character?
Just to clear something up, this is not a gradient map. This is a gradient. A gradient map is mapping colors to values. Just in case you google "gradient map" and getting confused. You should be able to get this using the "MG Mask Editor" generator. There is a section called "Position gradient". Using this in a mask of a… -
Re: Environment prop - Obelisk Prop - WIP
So tried some masking and using actual textures of sedimentary rock to mask out where I could apply some horizontal layers. I am 50/50 on it, though, perhaps once I sculpt and bake the bricks, and piece all of this together, will I get a better understanding of what it will look like. Let me know what you think! peace,…
