3Point Custom Bake plugin (3dsmax experiment)
hi folks, this is for tech people, an experimental plugin I did a couple years back to output different tangent space normal map's from 3dsmax baker. The idea was that the quality normals modifier implements "known" tangent spaces from games such as Crytek, and therefore allows easy and synced authoring for an engine… -
Maya/MayaLT option to be careful with for Dota2 Handplane conversion
Hey guys - I was testing out MayaLT to see how it behaves for Dota2 asset creation and noticed that one of the default options of the program might cause an issue. Basically the 2013 release of Maya introduced 3 new options for mesh smoothing calculations (some of them are actually very cool in specific scenarios), with… -
Becoming a professional 3D artist with an unrelated full time job
Hey guysAs a quick intro, 3D Art has been my passion for quite a while now. However my schooling and my current job has essentially been Computer Science related. At the moment l currently do Unity scripting for military simulations so I'm not too far off from the game industry but lately lve really been feeling an itch to… -

Well I need the money and the project sounds more than fun. So I am in the middle of the art test, getting the geometry for the… -
Inconsistent Subsurface Scattering Results
Been trying to pinpoint the reason different sections of geometry seem to be displaying subsurface scattering in different ways across a model I've been trying to render. I want some intense SS to show up on these wing membranes, and I've had success getting it to work on other parts of the mesh. But on the wings the… -
Re: Normal Maps Look Strange
A couple other things to try re: pixelation Make sure your UVs are clamped to straight edges if the shape is straight in 3D. If the edge is slightly rotated or angled in UV space it will take a significantly higher resolution texture for it to look sharp. Increase the sampling from 4x to 16x or 64x As far as using multiple… -
Exporting Smoothing information from Blender via FBX
Hello everyone! My name is David, I am an avid Blender user and a soon-to-be Games Design student. I have done a series of tests to see what is the easiest way to set up smoothing in Blender and how to correctly export that smoothing information in FBX format for later use in Unreal Engine 4. I would like to share the…
