Re: Marmoset viewer texture issues.
Unfortunately there isn't anything more you can do to improve compression artifacts then. However, it does appear that your materials are not really set up in a logical manner. For your metallic areas, the diffuse is much much too bright, while the spec is much too dark. Typically, metals have near zero diffuse (diffuse is… -
Re: Blizzard!
[ QUOTE ] It's ironic...SEKNeox's starcraft 2 scene was criticized because his normal maps didn't really look as if they were contributing much detail and the Diffuse was doing all the work. [/ QUOTE ] first of all call me neox, the nickname has just already been taken second, this is simply wrong, there definitely is a… -
Anyone good with dDo that may be able to answer a question?
[I posted this on the Quixel dDo forum, but I'm not sure what hours they keep. I'm double dipping just in case someone here can help me better understand this] Hey, I'm having an issue and maybe it is just me not understanding the software correctly. I'm working on a project where I loaded up (in addition to the required… -
Re: Why so blue?
Matt - alpha should not be gamma corrected. If you want something %50 transparent, you want your %50 grey to map to that. We keep our alpha unmolested throughout the pipeline and use it directly as the colour out. We also only gamma correct the diffuse map, and leave all the others as is. I think of all the other maps as… -
Re: Are materials always reflective with PBR rendering?
DeferredLightingCommon.usf line 103 //float3 Diffuse = Diffuse_Lambert( GBuffer.DiffuseColor ); float3 Diffuse = Diffuse_Burley( GBuffer.DiffuseColor, LobeRoughness[1], NoV, NoL, VoH ); uncomment 103 and comment out 104. Then in the console "recompilescripts changed" Im not sure if this will work as I don't have the ue4… -
Re: Creating a good metal texture or: My metal is not metal enough!
Static Cubemaps are relatively cheap, use them! Dark diffuse is used because many metals actually have a dark diffuse color. The difference between this dark diffuse and the bright 'specular' highlight is what gives many metals their unique look. Your specular map should have many details that are NOT in your diffuse as… -
Re: Pilot Girl - Noob Challenge continued...
Finally got time do clean the rig up and get some final renders. Software used: 3dsmax, ZBrush, Marvelous Designer, xNormal, Substance Designer & Painter, UE4 Textures: Body - Diffuse / Normal / Metallic / Roughness / AO Accessories - Diffuse / Normal / Metallic / Roughness / AO Head - Diffuse / Normal / Roughness / AO… -
Re: So what are you working on?
[ QUOTE ] DTrip and Pavel, those are looking awesome [ QUOTE ] Better to actually use green lighting in this situation to add color, instead of coloring your actual diffuse. That way if wanted a blueish, or purplish lighting you just change your lights, not use a different diffuse. [/ QUOTE ] Most of the color is coming… -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
Studying PBR theory, a question came to my mind. According to the sources, Diffuse and Specular, in physics, are 2 sides of the same coin: Specular is when the light bounces from the surface linearly in the opposite direction Diffuse is when it gets scattered around (and, if I got it correctly, roughness and microsurface… -
Re: [RELEASE] Shader Forge - A node-based shader editor for Unity
It is! It's a custom lambert + Blinn-Phong specular shader with a normal map and a diffuse color :) This is pretty much what it does internally when you have Blinn-Phong on. dot(L,N) is the Diffuse term dot(N,H) is the Specular term, which has a power to make the glare smaller :) The diffuse is multiplied by a color, which…
