Re: Where does photoshop fit into a production pipeline?
Doesn't have all that much to do with whether a texture is tiling or unique. Textures are just images. For a long long time Photoshop was the best available image editor for our needs. Besides painting directly onto an image or manipulaitng photos into a texture it allows you to do a lot of automation by clever use of… -
Re: Re-topology is there anything on the horizon?
Have you checked, that the basemesh is added into the first socket of your Wrapping node? It is recommended for quick computations, that your basemesh has not more than ~30k polygons since the more polygons your Basemesh has, the longer the computation time is. According to the developer, a 100k basemesh might take up to… -
Re: Help me refine my workflow when using imported photos in substance designer
Set the size of your first node imputs (the first node you pluck your bitmaps into) to "absolute" or the size of your project in general (just double click on the empty side of your graph, top right is your size options) and change the resolution to what you want, e.g 1 or 2k. What is the size of your project? A good thing… -
Re: This is the last straw with Maya.
I don't think I've ever had that error, but I've seen many new users come up with a variety of bizarre problems and it is almost always a result of user error. If you don't know what's going on then it's easy to do things that Maya doesn't like and that crap builds up over time and can screw up your scene. Keep your… -
Re: Unity Metallic/Metalness not showing Smoothness Slider
Stupidly, yes. Guessing they're assuming the gloss value will stay relatively well compressed in the alpha, with AO getting next best compression in the green. Metalness doesn't need that much to it, so it gets next best in the red. I've had to hack the Standard shaders to use RGB rather than RGA and that's a real pain now… -
Re: Thief + System Shock 2 source code found
Anyhow I wish more developers would do what Id at least used to do and release the code to the public after the older engine was defunct. -
Re: Substance Designer for multiple similar buildings?
I'm still fairly new to Designer, but here's my thoughts: In the long run it's probably indeed will be faster to mass-produce assets using Designer only. Painter is great too and it has smart materials/smart masks, but Designer is much more flexible. In time you'll have a number of graphs and useful graph snippets that… -
Re: Lightmapper for Unity
not that I am into unity, but it's nice that you release your lightmapper! I've looked into your code. And having written a similar tool for luxinia once, here is some hints towards better efficiency and higher quality results: raycast vs raytrace Don't trace from lightsource to object, but do the opposite. That is shoot a… -
Re: Soap Creative: TankBlasters, Unity3D work in progress experiment
Don't believe all those positive reviews there is quite a lot things still very wrong with Unity3D. Sure they will upgrade and fix the flaws and gabs but it is NO WAY close to what they claim in their ads and website (just like adobe, autodesk,microsoft,... software).. Here is a list of things that I really hate so far, my… -
