Re: Nack: Single-Flash 16-bit Surface Scanning. Is Photogrammetry overkill for micro-details?
🚀 NACK — Mobile Real-World Capture Tool NACK is an offline mobile tool that transforms real-world surfaces and objects into digital data. Using only a smartphone, NACK allows you to capture textures, surface detail, depth information, and material properties — and instantly turn them into usable digital assets or analysis… -
Re: [UV unwraping]Why do we always put car wheels on a separate UV map when unwrapping
Another trick is to bake AO for the whole model on a 2nd uv, then adjust the wheel material to use an AO strength of zero. This wastes a bit of uv space if those surfaces are never used by the AO texture, but the AO can be enabled easily for garage shots, like when the player is customizing the car. -
Re: How to make certain areas look transparent?
To make a glass surface you'll want to use Refraction. You can enable this in the Transmission panel. Generally, you will want to apply a dedicated material to the glass areas of the mesh, and enable refraction there. But you can also use the mask slot to load a texture mask to determine which areas are refractive. This… -

Rail Turret 400000000
Hey guys, been working on the textures for this rail turret thingy majigga and everything's going fine 'cept when I enable hardware shading in the viewport (to enable shadows) the S.I. map stops working with Xoliul's shader, was wondering whether anyone had come across this before and whether there was a way around it (If… -
Re: [WIP] Big House "Belle Epoque".
As usual, thanks for your advices teodar23! Maya is crashing everytime I try to export an fbx with the triangulate option enable... Idk why... I'm gonna try to change the topology, export without enable the triangulation and see what will happen... I tried to flipped the polys and it didn't change anything too... The… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Indeed, you will want to enable your smoothing groups and binormals when exporting from Maya. I would also suggest to stay on the "unweighted" vertex normals mode (you can change this setting in the shape node of your mesh under "mesh controls"). Also avoid the triangulate setting when exporting in FBX, it's a different… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Materials not working (pattern issue perhaps?)
I have this issue too. Happens after I apply the first material - any subsequent materials will not have surface textures, even after deleting the first material. Resetting Photoshop CC preferences had no effect. EDIT: Found that the bug seems to do with the Pattern Overlay effect in Photoshop on the layers. It will say… -
Re: Guedin's sketchbook
try to keep your hair all vertical flowing and enable soft alpha test :) alpha test is better with picking up shadows/lighting and transparency sorting and looks smooth when you enable the soft alpha test. the problem it introduces is a directional blur (hence the all elements vertical) but you can also create a flowmap…
