Re: Curved Surface Bake Error
First you need to take in account the mirrored UVs, so when you bake i assume you bake the half of the object or either move the mirrored UVs aside... as Emanuel_palalic said go ahead and put some padding in your bake and most importantly check your export option (on the model you are applying the normal map to) for fbx… -
Re: Do you UV unwrap the inside of a helmet?
Every mesh gets automatically triangulated when you import it into a game engine. This might cause unwanted shading results when triangulating n-gons and/or nonplanar polys. If you want more control, triangulate the object yourself before exporting it from your modeling package. If you like how it shades, you're good to… -
Re: Need help clarifying how materials work...
Materials: game engines have their own internal material system. All that usually matters is what you name the material, occasionally a game engine will also be able to import your texture maps for you depending on the exported format. They do. It have a uv editor. UV's are part of the mesh data. They need to be made… -
Re: Film made in Maya, want to render in Max.
You can export all the animated models and stuff as an alembic cache and than just import that into 3ds max. You don't need any of the rigs etc just the geometry. As far as I know you don't even have to re-import the cache if the animator changes something, just override the old file (but don't forget to backup). Otherwise… -
Re: materials wont show
Make sure you have proper UV's as Sant said. Make sure you have atleast one material applied to the mesh before export. Make sure you UV's are in the proper ID channel (1 in Apps like Max, 0 in UDK). Make sure you exporting your mesh with all the stuff above enabled. If all of that doesn't work, give UDK a massage with a… -
Re: 3DS Max Normals
UPDATE: I've experimented with various combinations of what has been recommended but problem is still there. Material is bumped specular which really highlights that there is a discrepency at the seam. The normal map applied in the above image was created by exporting OBJ from max 2015. Baking performed in Xnormal with and… -
Re: Environment Artists; do any of you use 3d coat?
Thanks, I didn't even know that. Another question, if anyone can answer... How would you go about getting a hipoly model baked down to a low poly? In ZBRush you can use decimation master; export it to your 3d app of choice for baking. However, seeing how 3d coat is voxel based, does it have something similar? Does it… -
Re: Mudbox: Vertex spike artifact
try 1. exporting level 0 2. start new scene, import the level 0 and subdivide it to the same amount of level your highest level was in original scene and export that. 3. go back to your original scene, now import as layer the highest lvl from step 2. make sure you are in highest level so import as layer works properly. 4,… -
Re: Implementation of Blender in Video Game Industry
Could me the case Ryan I think I never exported(not honestly sure about did I ever exported something with bones) so I cannot judge this since I use blender mainly for modeling.As it came a long way it definitely needs stuff to improve :smiley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA4V7nbgDwM New video is up and hopefully it… -
Re: Quixel to Maya?
Hi Ladygrace, yes it's totally possible. It does depend though on what renderer you're using though regarding what maps you need to export and how they need to be balanced. I've done many tests setting up the suite as generic pbr and exporting spec, normal, height, albedo, gloss for use in Solidangle's Arnold. I have to…
