Re: dizelpunk character
wow, great idea. it's really creepy. I think the main problem right now is that the materials are very ambiguous. I really don't know if the leg part is supposed to be skin?? right now it looks like a sort of.. artificial material, like porcelain or something... or a plastic. that might be okay for what we've got here..… -
Re: Half-Life Project
Hehe, i was drunk with that last response =) Hopefully this is a bit more useful. One thing that i would REALLY encourage you to do is start modeling your props in sets. So instead of doing a highpoly for a keyboard, and then lowpoly, and then uvs, and then bakes, and then texture. Then get to a different model and repeat… -
Re: Gamedev - texturing apporach
Working under "Senior material artist" title in a racing game I can say I mostly do materials in Substance Designer from photogrammetry I shoot myself ,my own custom nodes and Gaea . We have Quixel megascan subscribtion but I hardly use theirs at all to be honest. Most of materials looks repeating as hell in a racing game… -
Should guncoating be treated as a metallic ?
Hey there polycount ! I'm currently working on a personal project involving a Mauser M712 I tried to mimic this darker tone with a metal material but whenever I did a PBR-validation with substance painters build in "PBR-Validate"-Filter it colored my textures in red. After some testing I figued this is due to the albedo… -
Re: Bump and spec maps
The Decal checkbox in the material settings are more for the floating planes that accompany a mesh, like leak stains, holes, etc. It looks like you applied it to the stone material, which isn't really a floating plane or anything. If you do have those floaters, make sure you separate them in a sub-material so the Decal… -
Re: Modo 501
Yeah you can assign a new material with different smoothing values. Unfortunately then you have another material... That would be bad for performance your game engine of choice. Each material on an object forces the object to be drawn once, so two materials two draw calls. Multiply that by however many objects you have in… -
Re: Medieval Farm Pig WIP
apply a new material to it. I get this from time to time, no idea why. Usually happens if I use subtool master to apply material to all subtools, sometime later when I subd the model, some new geometry gets the wrong material on it. You can see the reddish material on the squares probably matches one that you used… -
Re: LOD and texture size
An option for LOD's is also simplifying the material. For example, in Unreal you have LOD 0-2. 0 has 2 materials with the full compliment of maps. LOD 1 might have the same. But for LOD 2, you could cut one material out and simplify the material too by removing Normal or your MRAO type maps depending on what you need. All… -
Re: Stacked UV Map?
Ah, so this is be the problem - you need different materials in Blender on each one, so when you export, in Painter you'll have the same materials under the TextureSet List tab. Just click on each material name, and your Layer UV's should look good. Then you just have to work on each material one by one, you'll end up in… -
Re: Autodesk Stingray game engine
AD could make a decisive step here, by supporting NVidias Material Definition Language (MDL) which is a new approach to define realistic materials independently from renderers, and wether its for realtime or pre rendered. Its a great idea, imagine you could setup your game environment, and render the scene with the same…
