Re: 3rd Year Project - Chinese Town
Looking great. You could use vertex color to soften the sand transitions. Also the wall on the left where it meets the sand, that edge is a bit too harsh. The foreground dock looks really dark. I bet your texture is really dark, so it's not getting much light. I would love to see some distortion in the water reflection.… -

Picking Cubemaps for renders?
I mainly use Marmoset, but I also use Octane and a few other rendering engines, so I figured I'd come here to get some advice. When I'm trying to set up an environment for my renders, sometimes I have a hard time picking a cube map. When texturing the object, I generally set the environment to "studio 2" or just the… -
Volume lights and transparent planes
I have a scene for an animation I'm working on where I have several planes with an opacity map on them going behind an omni light with a volume light effect on it. The problem is that the volumeness is somehow causing the entire plane to show. Even if the plane's material is completely transparent I can still see the… -

Re: UV layout tips and tricks thread
Here's a bit of what I tend to do. Maybe it'll be helpful to some. I uv sections as I go, and start grouping them together in whatever way makes the most sense. I set aside any alpha bits that I can keep seperated so that when I start placing stuff, I can keep them together without worrying about alpha s creeping into… -
