I usually start to work (under photoshop of course) on a base baked normal map with just the minimum of details from the HighPoly.

Whenever I test my map in Unreal Editor when I use the startMOVIECAPTURE command in the editor it saves the movie in my movie folder, but when I play back my movie in windows everything is moving at 2X Speed. I also tried using the matinee movie capture command and the same thing happens even when I set the fps to 30 fps.…
Hello there! I recently got to mess around with the refraction in Toolbag 3 (really nice addition to the soft), trying to mimic the behaviour of heat emitted by an engine. Everything's fine on the refraction effect itself, but one thing I'm stumbling over is to obtain a transition from totally transparent to "hey it's…

I have been bringing it with me since Maya 6, and some buttons and functions have now become redundant or no longer exist. Of the things I'm trying to get back, one of them…
Sometimes when creating a new smart material in DDO (possibly just normal materials as well) I run into the error where instead of creating that smart material once, it creates it 4 times. Also in all of my other textures it then takes specific pieces of other materials I've created and rearranges their parts. For instance…
Hey guys, just wanted to share my latest environment I've been working on The back story is pretty basic. It's a keep/dungeon built into a mountain side in some remote corner of the world.
