Re: Painting normal maps?
mostly working for "simple" details, you can convert bumpmaps (heightmaps) to normalmaps. many renderers also let you render a "scene" to normalmap, that way you could "model" some sort of detail and render it to a normalmap... easiest I guess would be painting heightmaps...… -
Re: can't get normal to show in viewer...
Do you have "DX Display of Standard Material" checked, and the pink/white chequered cube icon in the material editor activated? If you do and it's still not showing, what kind of graphics card do you have? Does it have the latest drivers? Weird that it wouldn't show up in the render, since it seems to be working on the… -

Re: What's more efficient?
well if its an rts I assume the units are rather small ? think of average pixel area your unit will take on the screen and what your "targeted" screenres is (like 1200x1k..) it makes no sense that your textures are much bigger than the number of pixels they normally use on the screen. and about graphics, I wouldnt worry so… -

Re: Old graphics.
HI, and welcome to Polycount! Early 3d games were made to run on very limited hardware, which could not render complex 3d shapes. The hardware could only render very few points at a time. So the models had to be very blocky. Blockout means using simplified shapes when designing a 3d model, or designing a game level. This… -

Re: [UE4] Physically Based 3D Art: 2016
I'm sorry but I can't get sleep over this. I feel like something needs to be said about this. I feel like I've been intentionally lead to feel like I have no idea about anything. Just because this forum is focused on real time, doesn't mean we can spread misinformation about offline rendering. Just as how if I went to a…
