Re: Projecting high poly on low poly
you can decimate the hi poly in zbrush using zplugins>decimation master. should be able to reduce it probably 5-10x without losing noticeable detail. in toolbag if you accidentally moved one model away from the other, you can check box for ignore transforms (so long as you hadn't froze transformations before export) also… -
Re: Normal baking question.
Both Obscura and rollin have provided valid solutions and feedback. There's often more than one way to resolve an issue and what's right for a given project will depend on finding a suitable balance between expedience and efficiency. Understanding the root causes and first principles is beneficial going forward as these… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2019 (61)
Haha, yeah I think we both stuck to the concept pretty well, nice work. I managed to put it all in unreal, I need to work on the textures, I just did quick base colors and a normal map on the planks from zbrush. I wanna get the text and the Great Wave artwork on the back done today. Then maybe I can find a ready made tree… -
Re: Occlusion affects direct lighting?
This is not entirely correct. For Toolbag: * AO affects ambient image-based diffuse lighting (ie: Sky lighting) * AO does not affect direct diffuse lighting * AO does not affect image-based reflections / specular * AO does not affect direct reflections / specular It looks like that list suggests AO is multiplied on IBL… -
Re: Separate texture sheet for anisotropic hair?
If you want to put the hair on the same sheet apply a unique material to it in your 3D app. This will give you unique material in Toolbag. Generally though for games, you would use a separate map/material anyway. For hair you want alpha, maybe an aniso direction map, so it's better for memory use and fill rate to have this… -
Re: First "finished" game asset: greek pillar
Hey Jess, so does my HP mesh make out okay? :) After deleting every material I could find, and restarting it from scratch and following your steps I still can't get my normal bump to show up.. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, it may be a problem with 3ds max 2013, from what I've read on google. When I import my mesh… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge December 2013 (14)
@iniside Great progress on building the scene. My only crit would be that its a little too dark. Depending on how close your trying to match to the concept of course but the lamp in the scene really gives everything I nice warm glow. @inwar Really like the heater, i'd say you nailed the concept. Anyway I've been working on… -
Re: Likeness - Looking but no seeing
Thank you for the feedback. Yes it is Gemma, and yes I did collect reference outside the movie. Thing is she looks way different, like a different person entirely. No idea why... (sometimes in the movie itself she looks quite different) maybe it's the lens that Pior mentioned. Old huh? Didn't occur to me. Thou I usually do… -
Re: Portfolio projects
BagelHero: Thanks a lot! Yeah you're definitely right about materials. I didn't know pretty much anything about PBR when I started (and still learning) and this is my second environment and first project in unreal so I kind of learned on the go. Oh yeah! haha, will add that about the asset sheets. No, no Artstation yet..:P… -
Re: [COMPLETED] Cat Adventurer
Making a bit of progress, I was able to work on the sculpt further, and have baked out my normals, AOs, and material IDs. I did a rough pass on the metalness and roughness map (and it needs a ton of work), but I thought it would help a bit with material separation. Since I've made it to this point, I figured I would bring…
