I am trying to make a custom material just to teach myself how to make my own, just playing around to learn it. I made a bmp 512 X 512 of a brick as a texture and every time i link it to diffuse in the material editor it does nothing. Here's the picture of it. Any texture i add to the diffuse does nothing. The viewport…
I can't find anywhere in the Maxscript reference to do with the "use systems default gamma" when you load a bitmap into a material. I need all my bitmaps to load in as "use systems default gamma" but it uses 'use image's own gamma' instead by default. Below is my code for loading in an material and applying the material to…
Hi people. I found a tool related bug in painter. - Basically I create a material in substance designer - Once imported in painter I convert the material to a tool by selecting a brush and then the material, so I can paint the material - I assign a mask channel inside the tool (see the image) to assign a mask that can…
Few questions with the new(ish) Landscape Terrain. 1) I'm using a Layer Blend material with a Landscape Terrain and want to assign foliage based on material used. I don't want to manually paint it down. 2) I want to place a mesh cave on my terrain- is there an easy way to cut a small hole in it so I can jam the mesh in? 3)…

Hey guys, basically when I change the mapping scale of a Terrain material, it automatically saves the corresponding Terrain Layer Setup and Terrain Material into a new package. Then I have to move them back into my old package and reimport them back into my terrain, after deleting the original Terrain material in there.…
That's kind of you to say, thank you. Well, right off I've got to say I'm not yet a professional and there are many talented people on this forum who are better qualified to help you than I am. But with that said - I did write about my last environment project at length, and I specifically wrote it with beginners in mind,…
lamar McHaney Yeah I agree. I went back and crispified them edges. ScottMichaelH Hey thanks, I'd be happy to share my general work flow. I don't think I've even scratched the surface yet though; I haven't even integrated Substance Designer so I'm still working with what comes inside Painter. I've been trying to stick to my…
Fun looking project. This is something you can just run wild on and have fun with. Your textures are killing it, you mention you're still woring on the diffuse, so my feedback will be mainly directed torwards that area.. Firstly, your overlay is too noisy dude. Check this out: This is a great example of what you should…
