Re: number of texture sets for games character/portfolio piece
Yeah that's what texturing is. The baked maps is a starting point. Many of them you will edit heavily. Many of them are only for utility. Some maps, like position, curvature, thuckness, are intended for use as mask or generator filters. Anyway, you can find a million usages in all the easy to find tutorials from the… -
Re: Game Development
tbf - OP picked the right section of the forum and actually, this is probably a good place to get novice advice cos most of us are not proper coders :D While I'd normally suggest starting with python for people learning to code I think if you intend to make games then jumping straight in with the basic unity c# tutorials… -
Re: [UE4] Office Patio Environment WIP
Thanks for checking it out! The chair doesn't have a high-poly bake, but it has a slight normal map for the wood that I made with NDO. The edges all have a two-segment bevel, which is probably a bit extreme (it's just under 5k tris) but there aren't many assets in the scene and it's kind of a focal point. With the bevel it… -
Re: Macbook Pro Retina for 3D work? Fan noise?
hey thanks for the compliments lukas, always appreciated. :) as for GPU power on the MBP look for 3D benchmarks. i think the newer integrated stuff from intel is actually quite capable and should handle things like photoshop GPU acceleration with ease. don't expect wonders from the discrete GPU of the macbooks either. it… -
Re: Final Fantasy IX characters
Even if you're going for a completely hand painted texture it still helps to bake out and AO map to give an impression of the recessed areas. I would recommend reading this article by Michael Dashow, and also this one by Sean Matsuda if you haven't checked them out already. Both bake initial lighting into the texture… -
Re: Texturing - Normal mapping help
The yellowish color is either inverted normals, or the normal map baker finding the backside of a surface that happens to be closer than your intended target. Generally when you have a group of subobjects such as the shelves, it helps to do an 'exploded' bake. You'd take each of the high and low poly models, and move them… -
Re: Seeking Topology Advice
The topology looks fine, specifying your use for this model also helps... e.g. if it's meant to be animated your topology is in the right direction... but if it's supposed to be a statue etc or an environment asset you could re-topo for better details assuming you'll be sculpting into this later on? The only alterations… -
Re: Expanding DBuffer Decals
@frmdbl Nice. So, everything works as intended and what you were seeing was just the way that metals work in UE. You can confirm that by placing a plain old, regular metallic object in the scene and viewing it in unlit mode. It'll have the same grey color instead of a full white. Set metallic to 0 in the material and it… -
Re: Sketchbook: GameDevGoro
Hi! Oh! I didn't paint it from a... reference photo... Uh... I meant that I took an arbitrary photograph and scrambled it. Painted on that and used that as a color palette. Sorry about the confusion... <.< And yeah. I noticed now a little later while discussing that painting with my brother that the lighting falls short in… -
Re: My new LMG
Sure if you need to create a normal map you have do adjust a few edges to get a better result. Many artist choose to adjust the weapons sight for a better view, but in my opinion is if a weapon sight is bad, its bad. This makes weapons weapons different (besides rate of fire, recoil and capacity). The manufacturer intended…
