Hello again fellow Polycounters! I have started up another Environment project, this time a runestone interior! So I haven't done much hard surface interior environment work before and I saw this concept from Ioan Dumitrescu that was made for The Northman. (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/LeXBKR) The scene is set under…
Like someone said already: This is a very, very broad subject. Some advice though: -Learn the blend modes. Basicly there are five categories (in Photoshop): a lighten group, a darken group, a contrast group, a math group and a HSB group - in that order. All blend modes can be useful - even Hard Mix which some ppl have a…
Hey guys, I don't know if this is stupid or not, but I'm trying to make a layered material that blends 3 materials using a simple RGB texture mapped to UV Channel 3. The idea is to use to the 3rd uv channel to define which material to display ingame: If anyone has a better idea on how to do this more easily, I'm all ears.…
Hi currve! Thanks for the question. DDO actually finds all the colors (as can be seen in the ID Link Editor) but some of the materials are not generated simply because they are not part of that specific material preset. To make sure all IDs get their own base layers upon generation, make sure to check "Create base layers"…
Definitely coming along, nice! The only thing really getting to me is that the normal map seems to be carrying all the weight of the damage while the diffuse still looks relatively clean. One thing that helps me is in PS have your normal layer sitting over you diffuse layer and drop the opacity of the normal layer to about…
At work we need to convert a scene from 3DSMax - Vray to Cinema 4D - Corona.For this we bought a script from 3DtoAll, but it does not keep the VrayProxies.So I thought I could easily do this automated in Maxscript, but am failing. Maybe someone is up for helping me? Basically at the moment I want to addthe reimported Mesh…
Painter 2019.1.2 Exporting my textures exports only normals from layers and not the base normal. I have to use OpenGL. The normal channel is active and the Normal mixing is set to Combine. Project configuration is set to Normal Map Format: OpenGL. Any help appreciated.
I have spend the last week working on my first environment scene. It was a lot of fun and i got to try quite a few things i have never done before. Although im not happy with the end result it was good practice and I feel like I now know quite a few things that i will do differently next time I do something similar. This…
Hi Goekbenjamin, I exported the base garment using the following settings and everything worked well. But, as soon as I export the layer clone again, adjusting the weldDist to a rage of 1-14, same issue. I guess I would need to manually sculpt the details on the base garment and avoid layer clones. Thank you for your…
