Texturing, Materials, and Game Performance Question
Hi people! So, I was trained at a university and majored in Game Development, with an emphasis on 3D Modeling. At that university, they told us things about keeping our polycount small because it can make the game run slowly. We also packed lots of things into one texture, as well. They didn't really go into the specifics… -
ANSWERED: Where are custom materials stored locally?
I'm making some custom materials but they all look funky (almost positive that this is user error). I've been saving over existing materials and creating "test_x" files but now my mat browser is cluttered to death with custom materials. Where are custom materials stored locally so I can do some spring cleaning? -
IN PROGRESS: BUG: DDO not creating materials I define
Hi, Not a long time user yet but I'm kinda done with this package. Paid for 2 licenses for school but it never does what I want. Very pissed off user right now. I have a very simple mesh with no normals or AO. I just want to create some easy different materials. I define them in the ID map (manually color the shells in… -
Material Param Tracks super slow!
So I've got a few material param tracks in Matinee. some of them control materials that are on just one or two objects, others are for materials on dozens, maybe even up to a hundred objects. Turns out that performance of the editor goes out of the window as soon as I make a track for one of these frequently used… -
UE4 Custom Lighting / Toon Material
Hi, I'm trying to achieve a cell shaded/toon shaded effect on my materials. Basically, instead of having all the nice smooth gradients of lighting ue4 has by default, I want some materials to simply have 2 tones of lighting, light and dark. As seen in most animes In UDK this would be easy, but in UE4 I can't find how to… -
Re: Unreal - Specular texture vs Material Nodes?
Right for certain types of simple materials, all you really need is some shader parameters, esp if you're only representing one type of material per texture or meshchunk/material chunk. Even beyond that, a lot of materials really do not need a spec map at all, too often do I see someone make a crate, or a concrete wall,… -
Re: [3DS Max] Totally, I mean totally strip an Object Material.
$.material = undefined gave the same results as before. Still a phantom material. Even stripping the ColorEffectRGB from the Collada file will still import a material, it would be named ColorMaterial in that instance. Sooooo I got the below to work (lets hear it for Notepad++). I did some playing around in the Collada… -
3DSMAx - Merging Multi Materials
I'm working on a fairly large project with a group of people, each of us have to create assets that end up being merged or xrefed into a master file. Due to the engine we want to combine the materials for similar items into one multi-material. So, I tried this by making Box01.max and Box02.max. I gave them each a… -
Can't get textures/materials to show
Hi I'm kinda new to Marmoset Toolbag, but I'm having a problem getting my textures/materials to show. I've exported the model out of 3ds Max with all it's materials - both FBX and OBJ - but neither load up the textures when I import the model in. Even importing the MTL file via Material doesn't do anything. All the… -
3d max - question about materials
I have 1 multi/sub-object and 1 standard material in my scene. In multi/sub-object I have 20 textures (diffuse color), every texture has different ID. is it possible to join this standard material to multimaterial in that way, that the texture from standard material will have 21st ID in multimaterial and automatically…
