Re: Substance Painter- Normal Map baking Problem
To clarify I was referring to the version with hard edges (the last 3) which is where the OP has ended up through their own investigation. The edge artefacts are impossible to avoid if you have a UV seam at a 90 degree edge As fas as i can work out the artefact is connected to the way textures are sampled/filtered and… -
Re: How facing billboards to camera works in sub-object level?
Thanks poopipe. I understand it as a principle but still have no idea how could it be implemented in our engine. Talked with our tech guys and they also haven't. It looks like the texture is using not regular UV to figure out what pixel a vertex should read from but some kind of special predefined order . But how would… -
Re: Merging texture sets substance painter
You can open multiples images as layers in Photoshop. First export your textures from Substance Painter with transparency and a padding of 8, 16 pixels, etc depending on your texture's dimensions. Then using Bridge : Tools -> Photoshop -> Load Files into Photoshop Layers Or using Photoshop : File -> Scripts -> Load Files… -
Re: UDK UV mapping a world position offset object, Almost done!
I was going to suggest to transform a (0,0,0)-vector from local to world space but that's the material function you already mentioned. Unfortunately it's not working in the pixel shader for UE3 (it does for UE4). I've also looked trough some UE3 shader files but haven't found anything helpful to use in a custom node. There… -
Re: Shadows On Tiling Static Meshes
Use bigger chunks, use natural seams, build transitional pieces e.t.c. Use bsp or custom geometry chunks for clean, large planar surfaces. Lots of tiny flat pieces stacked together is no-no. Lightmass GI is more or less interpolated and on top of that, unreal compresses and mips lightmaps like nobody's business. You can't… -
Re: The Monthly CHARACTER Challenge | September 2014 | Zilean / Chakram Assassin
@Fefs Well, bigger texture map means you can put more details on it. That translates to ability to view the model close up without texture turning all pixelated crap. In production, you can just pass the cage along with the rest of the files to the team. So, save the cage as a separated obj file. @skodone I think so. Do… -
Re: 24" + inch monitor choice
Aren't you bothered by the low resolution of an hdtv? 1080 at 32" seems like quite a stretch. My 24" is 1920x1200 and a proper 27 or 30" monitor should be 2560x1600 For me, that would be less pixel space than my 24, and much much less than my 24 + secondary 20, so i would have a hard time switching, no matter how big the… -
Re: Loose ends and forgotten promises. A wip thread.
Rokugan: it looks better indeed, but my main concern is about whats gonna happen when ingame lighting kicks in. what you see here is 100% lit texture. my version of the texture allows highlights and shaded areas to be slightly affected by color lights and ambient light in general. black and white pixels cannot be changed… -
Re: [Portfolio] Josh Dina
Maybe I am just failing, but when I click on a project on your site, the image it shows is super small (like 600x400 pixels or something) and there is no way to enlarge the image that I can see. Also the pictures, although very small, load fairly slowly, which leads me to believe they are in fact large images, but just… -
Re: Having Some trouble getting an Enchantress Headpiece into the game
@Reza, thanks for your help. I posted the fbx to dropbox, let me know if the link doesn't work. I have a high poly model as well, but I get an error when it tries to make a .mdl out of it, so I've not been working with that as much. @belkun, I figured out to save in 32bit, but I forgot about the extra pixels. I'll double…
