Re: Odd textures on Import?
His normal isn't broken. He just didn't bake anything from a high poly. It looks kind of like the artifacts in game are on a checker pattern which could mean something isn't loading correctly. It shouldn't let you compile the item though if something is that wrong in a texture. Did yo put the masks correctly into the alpha… -
Re: What is the best way to put about 1mln rivets on a HP plane model?
Do you literally mean 1 million rivets? Because if that's the case (and you can get away with mostly even spacing) I'd say tile a small rivet texture over the whole thing and mask out where you don't want them with either a mask texture or vert painting. Another thing would be to break the mesh up into reusable sections,… -
Re: vertex colors vs bitmap texture - cost/performance considerations?
some points that were mentioned to me that would aid in discouraging the use of this method are cases where the vertex color channel is already blocked for masking effects like strand movement or in the event where the mesh needs to be reused on different characters in the same scene but you want to have unique haircolors… -
Re: micro details in your sculpt (yes, no, why, how)
From a production standpoint, I entirely agree with ThomasP :) However if you're just doing it for fun/practise/presentation or if it's absolutely required for some other reason, there are a multitude of ways to do it - one of the ways I've seen used (and used myself) is to have UV'ed your base mesh in a certain way, then… -
Re: What's the Best Way to to make Filigree and Ornamental 3D Objects?
Sub-d works best for these kind of things in my experience especially when you plan to reuse elements for kit bash later on since it's easy to tweak, bend, ffd etc. What also works well for some things, especially small details or flat panels is to create some masks in Illustrator from a source picture, either by hand or… -
Re: Ztrol - a new plugin for ZBrush
I am having some issues with selection and masking brushes not working. Normal brushes work perfectly, but selection and masking brushes simply dont change. Have I missed something, somewhere? EDIT: Normal brushes dont work quite for me, anyway. Only flatten brush, which was a random one I tried. But damn, this plugin can… -
Re: Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls - art dump
thanks guys, it's great seeing these old names again. the images showcased here are viewport renders using diffuse in full bright and doctored in Photoshop. our character models use basic diffuse, specular, and glow maps. the engine does support normal maps but are used sparingly, mostly for particle fx. our hero armors… -
Re: Decal Methods
Right click in the content browser and create a decal material (Not a regular material). Do everything how you would normally do with a regular material.You probably want a mask or alpha for your text logo. Make sure you change the blend mode to masked. Now in your level hold down D and click where you want your decal (or… -
Re: Unreal terrain.spline blending. Help!
The simplest way to have splines blend with your terrain/landscape is just to have an alpha masked material. You can do that any which way you want to, having it blur out the edges or having a more splotchy mask that makes it look like there's debris or rubble on the side of your paths or roads. For splines in particular… -
Re: Fallout 4 retextures [WIP & REL]
Conversion reverses them, my textures match marmoset pretty closely with r spec & g gloss where as the other way around I get flat glossiness and crazy busy spec. I save just as DXT1 as the resolution is big enough to mask the artifacts. Any format should do, really. Started on combat shotgun, I do these all in dDo…
